I attached a picture that shows where the spare part # MPG465 would mount on the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT that has a retractable tongue.
The crossbar spread for this is between 44 and 63 inches normally which might get slightly reduced when carrying the spare, but in most cases there's no need for that much of a spread. view full answer...
I'll start off by saying that it isn't recommended that you add longer crossbars to the Malone MicroSport XT Trailer # MPG460XT because adding too much weight outside of the wheels will effect the stability of the trailer when cornering. With that being said, the crossbars that are included on the trailer will allow you to use your Thule Hull-A-Port XT # TH848 spread out to acommodate the 4 kayaks you're wanting to carry without any issue.
However, I believe I have a better solution... view full answer...
The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 is designed primarily for lighter loads such as watersport accessories and cargo. These lighter loads require a more sophisticated suspension i.e. coilovers in order to ride smoothly. If you just need to carry more weight and don't mind a rougher ride then you can go with the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G which has an 800 lbs weight capacity and utilizes a less sophisticated leaf spring suspension system that can carry more yes but... view full answer...
The best option we have available to transport your mentioned cargo is the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. This is a lightweight aluminum trailer with enormous versatility due to its two storage levels, heavy-duty crossbars, and built-in tie down points. You could secure your 14 foot kayak on the bottom level and your two bikes on the top level using a couple of the excellent Yakima FrontLoader Carriers # Y02103. With these items loaded you would still have room for additional... view full answer...
I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2014 Chevy Volt and it is able to be towed via dolly so what I highly recommend for a dolly is the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713046 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to use than other dollies. The Kar Kaddy 3 tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. These dollies also have a... view full answer...
I don't believe your two 30 inch wide kayaks will fit on the bottom deck of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 . I confirmed through my contact at Yakima that the width of the bottom deck is 54 inches inside to inside of the 2 inch diameter tubing that make up the frame.
Because the bottom deck has a height of 21 inches, you would not be able to fit your 30 inch wide kayaks on their side, as you mentioned. You could, however, fit one on the bottom and a second or third... view full answer...
Both the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 and Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT will work for you to carry your two Hobie kayaks, but I recommend the MicroSport XT because it is the better value of the two trailers.
The biggest difference between the two trailers is that the Rack and Roll has independent suspension, while the MicroSportXT has a leaf spring suspension. This is going to give the Rack and Roll a bit of a better ride, but that alone doesn't make up for the gap... view full answer...
I spoke with Yakima and they informed me that the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # Y04091 will fit on the lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 and will then allow you to secure your Hobie Tandem Mirage Kayak. The BigCatch has a 150 lb weight capacity and works with very larger crossbars so you will not have any issues. I will however say that most customers just use ratchet straps and pads to secure a kayak to the crossbars on the lower... view full answer...
I can definitely help come up with a way to make the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 as theft resistant as possible but I can't safely recommend you replace the hardware that secures the coupler or hinge to the trailer tongue with hitch locks of any kind. You have to use the included hardware otherwise the warranty of the trailer would be voided and you'd be potentially unsafe to yourself and other motorists.
So for the latch of the coupler you could use a trigger latch... view full answer...

I checked with Yakima who confirmed the tires on the Easy Rider Trailer # Y08129 are tubeless and do not require inner tubes like the Rack and Roll # Y08107. Both the Rack and Roll and Easy Rider trailer axles should be greased before installation as part of maintenance but have sealed bearings so would not be a fit for the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A.
A third option worth considering is the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G that also has tubeless tires like the... view full answer...
The best cargo basket we have to use on the lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 is the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07080-82. This is the largest cargo basket that Yakima offers and will fit perfectly as you can see in the attached photo. view full answer...
Yes, you can use a Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G to transfer two kayaks and two SUP's. In order to attach the kayaks, the Malone J-Pro Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG116MD (one set for each kayak) would be an excellent option. In order to attach the SUP's, I recommend the Inno Locker Watersport Carrier part # INA446 but you could get away with stacking them one on top of the other with the Malone SUP30 Surfboard and SUP Pads part # MPG312.

The Spare Tire Mount for Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dollies # DMRKSTM will work well with your tow dolly and the spare tire is ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Mod Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly # DM5965.

While there isn't a life expectancy, per se, of the shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 and 78" # Y08107, upgrading to the HD shocks is absolutely a good idea if your gear weighs around 200 llbs and certainly anything above that.
The Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 do increase the capacity of your trailer from 250 lbs to 350 lbs so if you need that extra capacity, the HD shocks are what you'll need. That said, if you are just in the... view full answer...
I am not aware of any sort of detachable tongue kit but we do have a retractable tongue kit for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer part # MAL53FR using the Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone Trailers part # MPG494.

You won't have any problem setting out for adventure with your fishing kayaks on the Malone # MAL95FR XtraLight Trailer! Your two kayaks weigh 179 pounds total and the XtraLight has a 600 pound capacity so you can pack on even more. Each of your kayaks are 33.75" which will both fit easily on the 78" wide crossbars. Also, the XtraLight supports boats up to 17' and since yours are less than 13', this too will be no problem. You will be able to tie down your kayaks to the crossbars.

You can use your Hobie carriers on your Malone MicroSport LowBed Trailer # MPG464-LB with the Malone Installation Hardware for Hobie Style Carriers # MPG5576-6.

The parts you'll need to tow your 2016 Kia Soul behind your Class A motorhome depend on whether you have a manual or automatic transmission.
If you have an automatic transmission, you will need to use a tow dolly as models with an automatic transmission cannot be flat towed. I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045. This is one of the best tow dollies on the market, with tons of great features like disc brakes and a folding design for easy storage.

The correct spare wheel/tire and carrier for the Malone MicroSport trailer part # MPG464-LB is the part # MPG465 which is designed to attach to the tongue of the trailer. The retactable tongue kit that fits this trailer is the # MPG494 which decreases the length of the trailer by 61 inches. And then for the "kickstand" we also have the Trailer Tongue Kickstand for Malone Trailers # MPG467 which is basically just a swivel trailer jack.

The Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 has 86" wide crossbars so you will be able to lay both kayaks side-by-side and they will stick out 1" on either side.

Your Old Town Sportsman 136 kayak is 158 lbs, so for two of them I recommend the Malone XtraLight LowMax Trailer for 2 Kayaks - 2 Storage Containers - 11' Long - 600 lbs # MAL95FR.

Yes the Malone MegaSport LowBed 2 Tier Trailer with MegaWing Cradles and Cargo Box # MAL82FR that you referenced would easily carry your 17 foot kayak as it has a max boat length of 20 feet.

There is a Malone XtraLight trailer that will allow you to carry up to two kayaks and two bikes at the same time, though the Malone XtraLight LowMax Trailer for 4 Kayaks # MAL45FR can't carry bikes along with kayaks as its post-style carrier won't allow room for the bikes.

According to the owner's manual I looked up online for a 2011 Ford Edge, front-wheel drive version can be towed using a tow dolly, but an all-wheel drive version cannot. The reason given in the manual for why it cannot was that doing so would damage the AWD system.
To flat tow your Edge, I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713093 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are... view full answer...
Yes, your 14' Long Hobie Pro Angler Kayak will fit on the Malone MicroSport LowBed 2 Tier Trailer # MPG464-LBT.
If you're needing a kayak carrier then I recommend the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG207 which fits around the crossbars and has a 150 lb weight capacity.
Please note that you'll want to put some weight on the other side of the trailer as well to help make sure it sits nice and level. view full answer...
I took a look at the online version of your owner's manual and it looks like you can use a tow dolly for your 2014 Kia Sorento GDI as long as it is 2WD. If you have a 4WD then it needs to be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground. I do recommend checking with your owner's manual or your nearest Kia dealer to confirm this.
For tow dolly applications we have the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 and # RM-2000-1. The major differences between these 2 options is that the former has a weight... view full answer...
I'll start off by saying that the only trailer with a folding tongue other than the Malone # MAL83FR is the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer - 14-1/2' Long - 78" HD Crossbars - 500 lbs # Y08129, which is 14 feet long and has a capacity of 500-lbs. The issue you are likely going to have going with either of these two trailers is that neither one of them will allow you to mount the Plastic Storage Box # MPG536, which is only designed to be mounted on trailers with A-frames; it can also... view full answer...
The least expensive option we can offer you to transport the Sun Dolphin Water Tender Dinghy is with the CE Smith Multi Sport Boat Trailer part # CE48810. This boat trailer will be perfect for you as it comes with everything you need to hit the road/water except for some ratchet straps to secure the boat to the trailer. The bunk boards are adjustable so you can float the boat right up onto the trailer and it has a hand winch so you never have to do any heavy lifting.

The Kar Kaddy SS, part # DM9713045, does not have a lock out on the hydraulic brakes to keep them from engaging while in reverse. With that being said in most cases you won't need one because the dolly is only 615 pounds unloaded which won't likely put enough resistance to engage the brakes. It's not recommend to be backed up anyway and definitely don't back up with the vehicle on the dolly. Since the Kar Kaddy swivels at both the platform and the coupler it'll get pretty squirrely and... view full answer...
I verified with Malone that the length (or height when it is stood up for storage) of the Malone XtraLight LowMax Trailer - Detachable Tongue # MAL83FR when the tongue is detached is 7 feet 4 inches.
When the tongue is attached it measures 11 feet 3 inches, so it saves you just about 4 feet of space, which is going to make it much easier to store than other trailers.

The Malone MicroSportXT Trailer - 13' Long - 78" Crossbars - Retractable Tongue - 800 lbs # MPG460XT has crossbars that are 12 inches above the frame.

My contact at CE Smith said that on their Trailer for Boats and PWCs # CE48810 the distance from the center of the ball coupler to the center of the axle is 120-inches. Overall length of the trailer, from front of coupler to rear of frame, is 140-inches and the distance from the ground up to the bottom of the frame is 18-inches. Please refer to the linked photo for illustration of these dimensions. view full answer...
I prefer recommending a tow dolly for towing vehicles like your 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport behind and RV as the install is much less invasive, the dolly can easily be transferred to future vehicles unlike some of the flat towing components, and by the time you price everything out plus install time the dolly ends up costing less like with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1.
This dolly is easy to load, has a steering axle, and comes with brakes so it's a really great option. To activate... view full answer...
The Apogee Adapt-X 500 folding utility trailer, like # AT74FR does not include a spare tire holder. You can certainly add one, but the problem lies in finding a spot to install a spare tire without interfering with the trailer's ability to fold.
The best spot to mount a spare tire carrier would be the front wall of the trailer bed, above the trailer tongue as shown in the provided photo. I'd recommend using the Fulton Hi-Mount tire carrier, part # FSTC1000301. The carrier provides enough... view full answer...
The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 that you referenced was designed to be used with boats that are up to 14 feet in length like what you have now. I attached a picture that shows the range of where the winch mount/bow roller can sit on the trailer as well. It would easily be adjustable enough to accommodate your boat that has 12 feet from transom to bow eye. The bow roller and winch are also vertically adjustable as well on the mount so you can tailor... view full answer...
The Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Kayaks # MPG461G2 that you referenced comes with straps that will securely hold kayaks to the carriers. They would definitely not fall out on the highway. Aerodynamics of the trailer are really great too as the tow vehicle basically will punch a hole in the wind as you are driving which this then follows through without creating much wind resistance.
The trailer won't sway either. It's very stable actually. There isn't a specific scenario that this... view full answer...

The correct spare wheel and tire for the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713046 is the ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Mod Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly part # DM5965. The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Wheel part # AM32161 won't work as the wheels need to have a specific offset for the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 and the Karrier option does not come with this offset. Unfortunately, the wheels for the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 are rather unique... view full answer...

The best tow dolly we have for vehicle's with limited ground clearance is the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713046. In order to determine if this tow dolly will work with your 2012 Toyota Prius you will need to make a template using the attached photo and then place it under the vehicle but I don't think you will have an issue.
The Demco Kar Kaddy 3 is one of the best tow dollies on the market because of its disc brakes for maximum stopping power and its low... view full answer...
Since you're needing to transport 3 kayaks weighing a combined total of 190 lbs you're going to need to use a watersport trailer to accomplish this. All of the roof racks that fit your 2010 GMC Yukon XL have a max weight rating of 165 lbs. Even without adding the weight of the actual kayaks carriers you will be well over this.
For your application I recommend using the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 4 Kayaks # MPG462G2 because it comes with everything you need to carry up to 4 kayaks... view full answer...

There is limited clearance between the wheel and the lug nuts so you'll want to use a thin walled 21 mm socket to mount the wheels that come with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. I wouldn't get too hung up on brand but just make sure it's a thin wall socket and you'll be totally fine. These are easily found at auto parts stores. view full answer...
In order to attach your Yakima HullyRoller Kayak Carrier to the square crossbars on your Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G you can simply add the Universal MightMounts # Y03590. These will attach to the HullyRoller cradles/wheels at one end and provide mounting hardware at the other that can accommodate crossbars as wide as 4 inches or as tall as 1-1/2 inches.

The big difference between the two trailers is the XtraLight trailers like part # MPG526G-V were made to be lighter weight for smaller vehicles and have lower weight capacities. This weighs 164 lbs and has a 400 lb capacity whereas the MicroSport # MPG461KB weighs 240 lbs and has an 800 lb capacity. So it comes down to what you are looking to carry and your tow vehicle which would make most sense to go with. view full answer...
A tire's weight rating is per tire. For example Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1, uses # RM-200330-80 tires which has a maximum load capacity of 1,570 lbs each. With 2 tires used, the load capacity of the tires doubles to 3,140 lbs. Since the # RM-2050-1 has an overall load capacity of 4,250, if you subtract the load capacity of the tires, 1110 lbs is the left over towing capacity of the tow dolly itself.
Overall, the dolly's capacity is not equal to... view full answer...
