Question:
Hi, would this work with the Malone Ecolight trailer or should I consider the Fulton Fold-away? thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB230101 is what I recommend for a Malone EcoLight Trailer part # MAL53FR. The Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone MicroSport Trailers part # MPG494 will fit on the tongue but the MicroSport has a one piece tongue and the EcoLight has a two piece tongue so the connection point between the two tongue pieces on the EcoLight could create issues.
The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit could be installed on the tongue of the Malone EcoLight in place of the union plate that joins the two pieces of the tongue together. I spoke with Malone and they said this was perfectly fine and would avoid cutting into the frame.

I’m looking for a kayak trailer that can fit in my garage. I like the Yakima rack and roll, but it is more than I wanted to spend. I like the Malone ecolight as well. The Yakima’s sliding tongue is the selling point, but I am trying to see if this foldaway gives me the same or similar results. How difficult is it to install this on the ecolight?
