Hey Ander, thanks for reaching out!

The Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT can handle up to 20' long boats so you just need to add the Bunk Kit # MPG561 and you'll be good to go!

Where do you plan on fishing at this year? Any big fishing trips you're planning out?

OK, thanks just checking making sure because I did purchase the bunk from you guys not installed them on the trailer. I took the boat trailer out for a test ride. I noticed a truck the boat was swinging left right for about 5 inches. I was going only doing 60 miles an hour on the freeway. I think with that extension for the tongue is the cause I think that could be the problem because there’s only one connection and I know it’s kind of loose so now I’m gonna disconnect the tongue from the trailer and reconnected with two bolts to the frame and see how sturdy that will be Thank you Andre

@Andre Did you have the boat loaded up when you were taking the trailer out for a spin? If the trailer was unloaded, then that will cause it to swing back and forth some as well.

@JonG yes it was loaded up. I believe the problem is that retractable tongue kit it only has one bolt holding it in place it doesn’t seem stable to me. either I could do a attach another bolt in it or just remove it and attach it to the trailer. I think that will eliminate the swing down having

We can piece together a Malone Lowbed trailer by first starting with the part #MPG464-LB and then a single bunk kit part #MPG561 and then the spare kit part #MPG465 and you'd be set. There isn't a kit with just the parts you are looking for…

Hey Russ, The only difference between the LowBed MicroSport #MAL25FR and MicroSportXT #MPG460XT is the load bar support beams. The beams are longer for the XT giving it a taller height, whereas the low bed has shorter supports. You'd be able to…

Yes, the Malone MicroSport to LowBed Trailer Conversion Support Tubes #MAL33TR will allow you to transform your MicroSport Trailer #MPG461B2 into the LowBed #MAL25FR. This will make it much easier to load your kayaks or possibly we launch them…

Answer 4

Hi Peter; if you make the LowBed conversion using the #MAL33TR you will not be able to fit the trunk under the crossbars. It will look like the picture below so there is really no additional room for anything underneath.

Answer 5

Hey Jeff, great question but when you install the Malone Low Bed conversion kit #MAL33TR the crossbars will still be taller than the fenders like you can see in the attached picture. Are you wanting lower crossbars for easier loading/unloading?

Congrats on the new motorhome Edward! SnapPad doesn't have the 2026 Allego Red 38 KA in their system so I don't know what size your jack feet are. However, we have a few options that will work with the HWH leveling systems. What you'll…

Answer 10

Hey Russell, good question. It really comes down to what you’re carrying and how many boats you want on the roof. The V-style carriers are more of a “keep it simple” setup. They hold the kayaks flat, side-by-side, which is great for stability and…
