I like how easy the kick stand is to install on the trailer. This only took about 3 minutes. Once on the trailer, I needed to tighten and adjust the large nut and bolt tension as well as the two small nuts and bolts to make sure the detent pin lined up with the hole. The fine adjustments took about 10 minutes, and the kick stand works very well. I like the way this looks and operates much better than my first idea of buy a trailer stand from a box store that sells, Tractor supplies. 3577770

Got this Kickstand for my Yakima Rack and Roll kayak trailer to keep the coupler out of the dirt - work like a charm and easy to install. I should have ordered it with the trailer... 3547868

Easy install — took less than five minutes. Works as described to keep the tongue and coupler off the ground. 3623355

The plus….easy to install.
The negative….very, very flimsy. Will fold up and drop with the least amount of pressure. The locking mechanism is poorly designed. 3596059

The kickstand and the two screws/cap nuts, loose in the box, arrived without any noticeable damage. The two screws were thin and hardly long enough to get the cap nuts started on the threads so I pitched them. I bought a pair of #10 x 2" hex head screws with nuts and washers and was able to make a much more secure and functional connection and installation. Per other reviews the kickstand may have a tendency to not stay in the retracted position so I may utilize a short strap of Velcro to keep it secured to the trailer bar above during transport. All in all, I'm looking forward to its usefulness in loading up my kayak. 1654572

A great asset 3640947

Perfect addition to the Rack and Roll. 3503153

I wanted a small multi-purpose trailer (suited for a canoe, bicycles, or camping storage) and it needed to be easily storable. This trailer from Yakima met all requirements nicely. The build quality is exceptional, as it should be for the price. No questionable design choices. All mechanical parts move smoothly where they should, and fit snugly where they should not. Electrical wiring snaps together neatly at various points, and for the most part is hidden within frame.

I like its storability best. It can be disassembled to various degrees depending on how out of the way you would like it to be. I keep it simple. I remove the tongue and roll the bulk of the trailer for storage inside my garage, under my wall mounted canoe. The roller blade wheels at the brake lights are a great feature for moving the trailer on end.

I mainly use it to transport a 15' 3" Old Town canoe that weighs about 90lbs. Too wide for my Subaru's roof racks, and none too easy getting it up there even if it could fit. This trailer solved that problem, and opened up additional transport arrangements. Because it has roof rack type cross bars, I can share rack equipment on the trailer or car's roof.
I rated 4 of 5 stars for three reasons: price, assembly, and mobility. The price was staggering. I think mostly due to the trailer's quality and storability. I enjoyed assembling the trailer. It required a couple of hours to do by myself. The etrailer video is the way to go. Instruction manual can be used for reference, such as torque requirements. I recommend a torque wrench, don't want to take any chances on road safety. At any rate, because I had to assemble I felt the price should not have been so high. Also, as shown in my photos, one of the shocks arrived upside down. The shocks are preinstalled and I did not have the proper tools to remove and flip it. For this type of shock that is not important. None the less, I called etrailer customer service to confirm and bring it up. Lastly, the mobility is not great. That is simply due to being 2-wheeled. Not easy to back this guy down to a boat ramp. With practice maneuvering it is getting easier.

Odds and ends:
I ordered the spare tire and kickstand as well. The kickstand is yet to arrive due to manufacturer delay, but I put the spare on easily enough. etrailer staff is quite good, as noted elsewhere. They have been keeping me posted on order delays, and offering help.
The trailer arrived kit-wise in large cardboard boxes. I was not happy to find them broken open in several places. That is a delivery concern. Luckily very little damage to trailer components.
I live in Texas, which requires a license plate. I also registered the trailer, although not required. Both were fairly straight-forward. etrailer sent me a Bill of Sales (separately through USPS). This, along with a filled form available from DOT website & a small fee was all that was needed to leave with trailer plate in hand (title arriving later in the mail).
The manual mentions the dangers of the license plate several times. When stored on the trailer's end, the plate protrudes outwards and could be a cutting hazard. This was solved very easily by purchasing a silicone license plate frame for about $5.
Later I ordered a ball mount and trailer wiring kit. The ball had to be installed separately, but the good folks at my local [business] helped with that, free of charge. Hooking up the wiring kit was a breeze. The etrailer video made it easy once again, and lucky for me, they used my car during the demonstration. 1023004

Works fine. It's the Atlas that holds up the trailer and kayaks! 3473521

Well made. Instructions say to pull the trailer tongue off and install the Kickstand from the back of the tongue. I found it much easier to remove the coupler and slide the Kickstand on from the front. Only concern is that the trailer wobbles just a bit from the stand being small. Will still need a block to keep the tires from moving. It does retract easily and makes for very convenient moving the trailer into/out of my garage. Really a must-have for the Rack and Roll. 3350205

The kickstand I received has some different design features from the original Y08115 shown in the video. It is one inch shorter at 16 inches and has a main control push button located on the upper bar that releases only one, rather than two, silver push buttons on the bracket. The bracket has a front guard that allows only zero to about 95 degree forward movement of the stand, i.e., the foot of the stand can only rotate up and back toward the trailer. I expect these changes will be an improvement in functionality without sacrificing stability. Installation is unchanged from the video tutorial. No problem with that. When reassembling the tongue and trailer, I found it preferable to re-route the wiring harness before re-inserting the pin that connects tongue and trailer as it tends to block the passage of the wiring harness connector. Images are included depicting features described. 87704

Another excellent product with easy mounting instructions! 3475663

What can I say - foldable trailer leg for Yakima, works fine. 2455570

I've ordered from etrailer several times. They always have good follow up with good customer service, shipping has always been prompt. However this order was not packaged well and was opened at one end when it arrived the item was not damaged but the mounting nuts were missing. Nothing a trip to the hardware store couldn't fix. I would order from etrailer again. This particular shipment wasn't perfect but sometimes things happen. I'm sure if I contacted etrailer they would have sent me the replacement nuts but it was easier to purchase what I needed locally. 1567331

kickstand keeps trailer assembly up when connecting disconnecting trailer to the trailer hitch. it could be replaced by a buddy when connecting. also keeps trailer level when loading fishing gear in the kayak. this is a must buy, unlike the flag 327194

I have installed the new kickstand and it works great. Quality product that is just what I was looking for. Thanks! 3374629

fit and finish a little off with the buttonhole to lock the kickstand in the down position. hat to drill it out a little to lock properly. other than that it is what is expected for ~ $50 3353547

The Kickstand comes with an instruction sheet and was easy to install. You have to remove the tongue from the main trailer body, which is easy enough, to slide the Kickstand onto the tongue. The only problem I had was that the locking pin did not want to engage after I installed it and tightened the two screws. I realized that I also needed to tighten the third (larger) screw carefully to get the sides to align better. But even after doing that (which was not in the instruction sheet) I had to spray some white grease into the locking pin mechanism to get the locking pin to work consistently. I will have to be careful when locking the Kickstand in the up and down position to make sure that it is locked securely. 1272310

The kickstand works as intended but care must be taken when working around the tongue area that the tongue doesn't receive a hard blow for some reason. Though a side-impact sufficient to twist the Kickstand and allow the tongue to drop has not occurred yet, tripping over the tongue on a couple of occasions has has put a slight bend in the kickstand. I would have preferred to see a slightly more beefy construction. Even so, the tongue has never dropped to the ground due to kickstand failure and It is handy to have. 1497420

I with my roof rack trailer would have come with this item. It has helped protect the trailer tongue in parking lots and keeps the trailer upright. I use a wheel chock on the trailer tires on uneven surfaces. I am not sure how much weight the push in tab can hold. 817976

I forgot to raise the kickstand before driving away and ruined it. The remarkable thing was the speed of Yakima's response to my order: it was damaged in shipping to me, and I received an answer to my dilemma the same day, they were out of stock, but Yakima gave me a link to etrailer.com who sent it to me immediately. And Yakima reimbursed me for the cost and shipping to offset the new order. I was extremely impressed with the follow-through. 1295296

This is a perfect fit for the Yakima trailer. However, there's no reason to not use the traditional crank style kickstand if you want to save money. The only difference is that you'll have to crank it each time. This kickstand is simple to use. 254378

etrailer was great to work with and kept us notified about shipping status. The trailer arrived when promised, went together easily. looks great and we look forward to using it this spring to haul our two kayaks. 1700727

a life saver at the lake 3390679

I should have purchased this when I bought the trailer! A bit pricey, but works fine. 600810
