Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01Total load volume vs. the ~396 cu ft interior
  2. 02Door opening — about 5 ft 0 in wide × 4 ft 10 in tall
  3. 03Interior height — 5 ft 5 in ceiling, similar to the 5x8 but much longer and wider
  4. 04Total weight against the ~2,480 lb max load (the highest of the three trailers)

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Loading wide items without checking the 5'0" door opening
  2. ⚠Assuming the 5 ft 5 in ceiling clears every tall item — measure tall appliances first
  3. ⚠Filling by floor space and overlooking the door height of 4'10"
  4. ⚠Overloading — though it has the highest cap (~2,480 lb), dense loads still hit the weight limit
