I like it. Fits trailer perfectly!
Others
have similar trunks but they have a hinge making it difficult to open with kayaks loaded. So I'm glad I went t



by:

Very well made. Arrived quickly. Can't wait to road test on the next trip to the pond. We look forward to the extra storage space, for the 'what-ifs' and what tools they may require to settle.



by:

Bought this trunk for the Microsport trailer, works great to keep gear secure and tucked away.



by:

I am very pleased with the product and the etrailer company. The communication was very good. The storage bin was easy to install.



by:

Super fast shipping and it perfectly fits my Eco-Light trailer. Bolted right in, though I pretty much ignored the instructions as they aren't for the Eco-Light. Makes a nice storage area for my PFD and my kayaking accessories.



by:

Great trailer. Well made and sturdy. Good instructions if you use Malone[online] video and the written instructions. Made assembly easier up on a table to build. A bit intimidating to start with all the parts but pretty fun to see it come together. It took me two 3 hour session. I just installed the Malone storage truck and would recommend purchasing it along with your trailer.



by:

I have had this bin on my trailer for over a year now. I use it to store my PFDs ropes and fishing gear. It keeps everything dry and the latches hold the cover on well.



by:

This box is really nice, and fits perfectly on the Malone micro sport trailer. It is easy to install, and includes mounting brackets



by:

Super convenient to be able to stow our paddling accessories like life jackets, pumps, gloves, and so on inside this convenient on-board trunk. It fits neatly inside the trailer frame and has plenty of room for lots of accessories!



by:

This is a nice trunk for storage. Top comes off, no hinge. Four latches to hold top close.
However while on the trailer it is held in place with only a strap. So its not secure as
far as anyone could come along and take it. Also I don't think it could securely hold heavey items for long, I say this because the bottom of the trunk is not supported and I believe with heavey items bouncing inside the truck on road trips could cause it to fail, due to it not being to ridged. For now I keep it in my vehicle. I am looking at a modification on my trailer so it is secure, and will support the bottom as well. I use it for my Hobie mirage drive system and Boonedox wheels, fits but concern about weight. Not a problem while in vehicle. Nice trunk, but could use improvements.



by:

Mounting was a cluster because they sent the wrong brackets. But etrailer helped me get that fixed. It fits and works well. But in the end,I have not used it as I can fit everying in my car so far.



by:

Mounted perfectly under the kayaks!



by:

This is flimsy, and requires the user to drill holes in the Malone Microsport Trailer to install it. THEN, you can't get to it when kayaks are on the trailer. It's a good idea, but poorly executed. However, the best part of this whole process was the fantastic customer service by William B! He is a true pleasure to deal with!



by:

etrailer is a great site with very competitive pricing and shipping.

The Malone xtra-light storage box is awesome. I can put all the things from my Hobie Pro Angler into the box prior to towing it to my fishing location. Once I pull the kayak off the trailer I can open the box and set it up my gear (fish finder, rod holders, mirage drive, etc). The box locks and is strapped to the trailer while driving. It's perfect.

Excellent all around.



by:

Like the product but the instructions do not go with the trailer the way it shows. This is the second product of Malone that I received with incorrect instructions. It is not the fault of Etrailer. I am very happy with the items I have ordered from them.

What trailer are you using the storage trunk on? The trunk is compatible with Malones MicroSport and XtraLight trailers only, and the exact positioning of the trunk will depend on which of those two you have. You can see more details in the video provided above.



by:

Perfect fit and delivery.



by:

Handy storage, put wet gear in there after kayaking and dry gear anytime.

Great trailer hauls our two 18’ sea kayaks behind our Sprinter Van or Pirus.



by:

Super fast shipping and item as described. Perfect.



by:

Fits nicely on the micro sport trailer!



by:

Its worth it, just expensive. But nice to keep jackets and straps all in one place



by:

Lots of room, holding up well



by:

Awesome product, fits great on my Ecolight. Install instructions were easy to follow and the extra storage means less trips to the truck to load & unload. Very sturdy construction. Everything arrived faster than anticipated and packed well.

The storage truck has held up perfectly over the last year. It has been extremely handy to have the extra storage right at the trailer to help with loading & unloading the kayaks and saves trips back & forth from the garage. Having everything readily available in a locked trunk is awesome. This is a must-buy for anyone with a Malone trailer.



by:

Ok for long travel but when just taking the kayak down the road to drop them in it is not water proof like the trailer and if you go to far in it will fill up with water. Would not buy again for that cost.



by:

Rather low quality system. Appears that the brackets were initially designed for trunk mounting points much wider than they are now. This results in several inches of for aft motion, which cannot be tolerated (as it will either hit the frame on the forward edge, or impact the axle motion on the aft end. All you can hope for is that the strap resistance will prevent this for to aft motion. Surprised Malone engineers let this slide (pun intended). Trunk is very light thin walled and is listed as not being water proof. Installation of the trunk also prevents retracting the trailer tongue. Overall, barely functional and low quality.



by:

Great product, fits perfectly in the trailer. Great price and service from etrailer as well.

After being in use for a year and largely being left outdoors the container is still in excellent shape and the color hasn’t faded. We us this every time we kayak and has been great for keeping our gear sorted.
