Hey Jim, thanks for writing in, and thanks for the pictures, I love what you've done with that trailer! Oh and thanks for your kind words, we love you too. You’re well within what the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 is built to handle. The…
Hey Barry, yes the lowbed coversion kit part #MAL33TR and the retractable tongue kit part #MPG494 are both a fit for the Malone Microsport Trailer part #MPG460G. What are you planning on using the Microsport for?
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…
Hey, Jim! I see that you ordered the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer part #MPG464-LB. I reached out to Malone and they were able to provide me with a helpful diagram of the trailer with the Retractable Tongue Kit part #MPG494 installed. The total…
Hey Jerry, thanks for reaching out. Sure thing! We do have kayak trailer options that will work really well for carrying your two NuCanoe U10s. We have options with extra-long crossbars which will work great for accommodating those 41" wide…
The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailers like item #MAL43FR have 8" tires with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel item #AM3H490 would work as a replacement but you will most likely have to…
Hey Chuck, Malone has a spare tire and mount for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak #MAL73FR with part #MAL33FR. It's just a simple U-bolt that you'll use to clamp the wheel to the frame of the trailer, just like the picture…
Hi Ethan; I'm sorry to say the Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars #RRVA-LEC4 do not fit the Sportz bars. Rhino-Rack does not have an option for locks that fit these crossbars at this time.
Hey Steve, it looks like you are comparing the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Carriers part #MAL93FR with the Yakima LowRider Kayak Trailer #Y82QD. The Malone actually has a 400 lb weight capacity vs. the Yakima which is rated for 750. The…
Hi Philip! The shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #Y08107 actually use a pin instead of a bolt. That is the Replacement Shock Pin for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer #8880182. This has a 14mm diameter and has 4-1/2" of useable length. If…
Hey Rick, I wish I could say yes a Thule locking hitch pin would work with your Rhino Rack T-Load part #RTL002 but they are different sizes. The good news is the T-Load comes with a lock for the hitch pin so you won't need anything else.
The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" #Y08106 or 78" #Y08107 ride very well at highway speeds on long trips. These 16 inch wheels work very well at any posted highway speed in favorable conditions. Just like any trailer, you want to slow…
I like the easy of navigation through the site. It only took me a couple of minutes to place my order. Thank You I will shop this sight again in the future.

Kayak Trailers with Storage Boxes: Adventure Ready!
Kayak trailers with storage boxes offer the perfect blend of convenience and functionality. These trailers not only transport your kayak but also provide ample space for gear, making them ideal for extended trips or spontaneous adventures.
A storage box on a kayak trailer provides extra space for essential gear like paddles, life vests, and camping equipment. This means you can keep everything organized and secure, making your trips more efficient and enjoyable. It's perfect for those who love to be prepared for any adventure.
Look for a trailer with a durable, weather-resistant storage box to protect your gear from the elements. Consider the size of the box to ensure it meets your storage needs without compromising the trailer's balance. Easy access and secure locking mechanisms are also key features to look for.
Regularly check the storage box for any signs of wear or damage, especially around hinges and locks. Keep the box clean and dry to prevent rust or mold. Lubricate moving parts and ensure the box is securely attached to the trailer to maintain safety and functionality.
A well-designed storage box should not significantly impact towing performance. However, it's important to distribute weight evenly and avoid overloading the box to maintain stability. Properly balanced trailers ensure smooth towing and reduce strain on your vehicle.
Many storage boxes can be customized with dividers or additional compartments to better organize your gear. Some enthusiasts add padding or liners to protect delicate items. Always ensure any modifications don't compromise the box's integrity or the trailer's balance.
