Can A Fold Away Coupler Hinge Be Added To The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer MAL73FR?

Question:

I have an Livesport L4 paddleboard which is 14 feet long. I am thinking about getting the Malone Ecolight with two bunks. Can a collapsible tongue be added to the Ecolight because my garage is only 16 feet deep? Thank you.

Hey thanks for reaching out Philip. It is possible to add a fold-away coupler hinge kit to the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL73FR. People actually do this fairly frequently to help with storage. The Malone trailer has a 2"x3" tongue, so for that you can use the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue # FHDPB230101.

Hey Philip, how did things turn out with adding the fold-away coupler hinge kit to your Malone EcoLight trailer? Did it give you enough room to store everything in your garage? Your update could make it easier for others working with limited space.
