Camoplast = CAMSO? 2 inch lug Challenger? Use Triton as a storage shed?

[UP Michigan rider]

Its now CAMSO?? Where I have I been? Anyways I'm looking for cheapest including shipping website for the 1.75 for my 2012 apex xtx (9143C) However I just noticed on their website a track called the Challenger with a 2 inch lug. Anyone have one of these?

Also, any idea what model Triton trailers Hybrid TC Trailers will fit the XTX and any future a bit longer length snowmobile nicely? Also do they seal up nicely so you can use them as a storage shed for summer months? Appreciate it.

My Apex XTX is shorter than my daughters Viper LTX. They both fit into a standard 8.5 x 10' Triton with cap. The bump out in front is just enough to allow me to drop the top and rub the flaps slightly.

They do "seal" up around the edges, but there is still the full length tie down track in the bottom on the Triton Elite trailers with drain holes. I have yet to have mouse issues in mine for summer storage. Water is a non-issue as rain does not get in anywhere.

That is perfect information. Thank you for taking the time to answer I very much appreciate it. Now to find a local dealer!!! I'm already excited about winter!!!

I would be the first to admit, it would have been a tough nut to swallow one of these trailers new. I got my Triton Elite and cap with 4x4 door etc as a used add on with my first Apex purchase. I had no idea how much nicer of a trailer it was over my SledBed with cap. I turned him down the first time, until I was able to buy it for less than what I sold my sledbed for.

After owning it for a few years, I realize how nice the little things are on a Triton Elite. Nobody makes junk, but mine has a few options included that you appreciate after owning one without.

- Full length tie down track, for infinite load balancing
- Optional high-lights on the back of the trailer for visibility
- 4x4 door over the standard 2x4 door
- The little rubber cap of the t-handle up front to keep the ice out
- the little clips on the safety chains that keep them from coming unhooked
- Optional springs in the tilt mechanism to keep the trailer tilted while loading solo
- no mixture of steel and aluminum in the tie downs, so things all crank easily
- easy tilt lock mechanism for fewer cracked knuckles
- LED lights when possible (most are getting these now)
just the overall durability of a quality trailer had me sold on it after owning. So many of the guys will pump up the brand they bought, as it was a big investment and they don't want to look bad spending money on an inferior product. In this case, you do get what you pay for.

Good luck

Thank you I have always heard that Triton is the best. It seems to hold the best resale value. I hope to be able to use it as a storage shed for the sleds as well.

Here is one that was just listed on HCS. It's not a Triton Elite, but it is a 12ft with a 4x4 door. It's in your neck of the woods too. I think he may be slightly high on price, but it's in new condition with extras installed.

Good luck!

Sweet, thank you.

I have a Triton TC167. Really happy with it. Great trailer for what I need it to do. For summer storage I added 2 more vents so each corner of the trailer has a vent up high. In direct sun the inside temp can be insanely hot. The vents help bleed the heat out and balance the inside temp. Otherwise it is sealed up pretty good from insects and rodents.

I didn't even think of needing vents. Good post thanks.
