sink and sofa (just kidding) that we
had brought along and made a very
comfortable camp. The next day we
went and loaded the top of the trailer
with fi rewood for camp and realized
how versatile this trailer really was.
One of the greatest features of the
trailer is the side rails on the top.
You can put gear and stuff on the top
of the trailer that you would never
want on the inside to spill or smell
things up like gas and water. What
is even better is that you can open
the lid with everything on top so that
you don’t have to unload anything to
get inside of the trailer.
After about sixty miles we
were now ready to head back. The
weather was changing quickly and
we were sitting at nearly 10,000 feet
in elevation. We needed to get off
the mountain. The fi fty miles back
home was done through snow, hail,
sleet and everything else Mother
Nature could muster up. All of
that precipitation made for some
exciting road conditions. Mud, deep
water holes, slippery greasy roads.
Perfect for what we like. The trailer
performed perfectly.
If you purchase a Bosski
1600 AL, I would suggest that you
use a 4x4 ATV with at least a 500 cc
engine. I can pull my camper trailer
with a smaller truck, but I prefer to
pull it with my diesel engine truck.
The same logic applies here. You
can get the job done with a smaller
ATV, but the bigger bore ATV’s sure
make the trip more enjoyable.
In summary, I would have
to say that this is the best trailer I
have ever used behind an ATV -
period. There is no other trailer on
the market, at this point, that can
compare. The money that this trailer
costs is worth every penny if quality
and ruggedness is an issue. Give
your local dealer a call today and
get one of these trailers for your next
outing; you’ll be glad you did. If the
big tandem axle is too big for you,
there is also a single-axle trailer that
is much smaller. But in my opinion,
bigger is better!

Pros
Cons
Good balance,
pulls true, tires,
sealed cargo lid,
brakes
Small lid latches,
needs another gas
shock spring on lid,
assembly & setup
These built in tie down hooks are a
nice touch and allow you to really
load the trailer up securely
The sealed cargo lid opens to a big
compartment that will keep your gear
clean and dry
The trailer breaks are a nice feature that
really helps control the trailer, but the
wiring can be exposed
Mud fl aps on the ATV will help eliminate
some of the mud, but the inside compartment
always stayed dry
