Looking for some advice here. My vacation house is in Breckenridge where the winters are long & cold. I don't have a ton of storage space & I was thinking of getting an enclosed trailer where I either put my 4 wheelers in the winter, or leave sleds in, outside in an enclosed trailer. I'm guessing it would be a better idea to put the sleds in there, but was wondering how sleds would hold up in an unheated trailer for a couple months at a time. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem. Have you considered a sea-can? Good and secure and with a little venting they work well.

Interesting idea- so a container? Will snowmobiles do ok for long periods of time in well below freezing?

Thanks again

Some guys have them sit outside for months and don't ride them...........

One thing about the sea-can would be to watch the moisture levels inside. Hell, they are even putting a bunch of those together and building houses these days.........should work for a sled or two....:D

If you trust the area and people, a used sled trailer is cheaper than a sea can. Either way it still needs to be locked from the outside. jmo
