Is this the trailer where the wheels also fold flat for storage?

I can attest to these trailers being very nice.  The smooth suspension and lightweight design is easy to pull with anything. The wheels can be taken off and then its about a foot wide leaned against the wall rolling on urethane wheels next to the tail lights.  The trailer has worked great schlepping three stacked Nucanoes around central OR.  We put a single bike rack on the side so shuttling Deschutes drifts can be a single vehicle affair.

One issue is with the safety chain.  Mostly because two are needed to be safe and in compliance with the law.  Yakima goofed on this and sent out an additional chain quickly but I haven't received the longer bolt to affix it with yet.  Kinda forgot about that but I'll send them another email and hopefully they are done "sourcing" the bolt.

The asking price here is fair enough but note that you will probably want the kickstand on the tounge ($50) and/or the stiffer springs (119).  The kickstand is kind of a pain to use but better than nothing.  I call bs on the 78" crossbar kit (390!) being necessary in conjunction with the springs for a 50lb capacity increase.  Just under the regular 250lb capacity with the Nucanoes and with a bike on the side a little over.  The stock springs worked but lost significant travel when fully loaded.  Problem rectified with the heavier springs although makes unloaded towing bouncier.

Zee, yes, both wheels fold inwards. Bennicus gave a fair review of the trailer, thanks! The only thing I would possibly add is that if you use it on the Deschutes access roads, try to find some 8-ply tires!  :o

So far so good on gravel roads.  The tires are kinda like road oriented dual sport motorcycle tires.  Pretty sure AAA would be able to bail anyone out if trouble arose or a can of fix-a-flat to hobble home on.  Worth an $189 spare?  Not yet.

Here is a pic of the setup.  Good thing it came with the visibility pole eh?
