it's just a trailer... big enough to haul 3 quads..
What's a quad? Are you sure you're in the right forum?

well each to there own, If you have a good tow vehicle no need for brakes.
Trailer brakes arestate requirement (and varies state to state) not a how good your truck is . A tandem axle trailer willl track better,tow better, back up better, and ride better than a single. One important item to mentionis width. If you want to put two baggers in a box consider a 7' wide model. 6' gets very cramped very quick. Remember it's just a toybox, so money spent on trailer design is more important than carpet, diamond plated mud flapsetc. Funtion over frills unless your budget can do both. $.02

I'm thinking a dual axle sounds to be the best answer, 7x14 v-nose, I don't like to trailer but sometimes you have to. Plus you can use it for other things.

Thanksfor all the imput, I knewI could count on you guys.

Tandems (duals) ride more stable at highway speeds. Given the choice, they are the best way to go. Brake system is easy enough to install if required.

I would really rather ride than trailer - but there have been times that I choose istead of 8 hours south on 99 then west on 58 to Vegas or straight up I5 to WA all from Northern CA - Anyway - I got a Kendon stand-up... I had had a Fatboy, WG and now my RG on this thing for up to two days going to WA - all behind a Toyota Avalon - Only problem to keep it under 75 - I forget it is even back there... So, if I have to trailer - this is the way to go... Of course having an inclosed would be better but I do not have the storage for it the other 50 weeks of the year... This stand up actually takes up less room in my garage than my bike...

I've had both and the tandom capacity is nice but its a pain to try to park in tight places, like at home if you have to stick it somewhere not easy because of the tire scrub. My single I just used a dolly in the hitch ball and put it where i wanted it. My Haulmark lowhauler takes 2-3 people to do that. Gas mileage was better with the single too.
