How much time does it take to break the trailer down for storage.

A complete breakdown involving removing/folding the wheels and supports, etc. - about 20 min. I typically leave the wheels and supports in place and simply collapse the tongue and stand it against the wall - which takes no more than 5 min.

Depends on how far one wants to break it down. If just taking tongue extension and wheels off, less than 30 min..

About 10-15 mins, less if you don't flatten out wheels. I just tuck the tongue into the trailer proper and stand up against the garage wall. I have two eye bolts in the wall that frame the top crossbar, and I drop a pin into the eyes, locking the trailer against the wall. Can put the trailer up in les than 5 minutes that way.

Shane, Don't know yet. End of season is not over here yet. There are some videos on Yakima and YouTube that show breakdown and storage in real time.

Can you spare 15 minutes? Put mine against garage wall and strap it upright. 5 more minutes if you collapse wheels.

I think an hour at most. That is probably a really high estimate. It was straight forward to assemble

Yes, it is fairly quick to take this down, but much faster going up. Set up is just giving it a quick hard shake and it will pop open, insert the cross bars for the supports. Taking it down remove the support bars, line up the edges and give it a twist to get it back into it's circular shape to put it back in the storage bag. Make sure you stake it down well if you have strong winds though.

I don't leave it in the truck all the time either. It's pretty simple.. takes about 5-10 minutes.

About 15 min with electric pomp. When torn down it is as big as 2 (3) football balls.

About 3 hours if nothing falls apart or splits. So plan on 6 with trips to hardware store. LOL

I have not had to fold the trailer. However I think it would take some time each time you fold the trailer. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

My boat is in storage. Can answer your question in a couple of weeks when I get it out for spring.

No.... The bag is for cargo only, and is part of the trailer, not for storage.... To be quite honest with you, it looked far better in the waste bin than it did on the trailer....

Hi Paul. I don't have the trailer to day as its on a job. Should be back to the shop in a couple of days and I will let you know.

It's metal, so probably not best to leave it out. I think the best part of this product is how quickly you can take it down and put it back up. It's unlike others I've had. 30-60 seconds to assemble or disassemble isn't unrealistic. And it packs up into it's relatively small bag for storage.

Just to transport, I flip the lid upside down under the flipped base and put the screen next to it in the truck bed. You could take the legs off, but you'd basically be dis-assembling it. Its up to you how far you want to break it down.

Make sure you have a good sharp drill bit as you will be drilling through the I-beam supports of the trailer. But with a good bit(s) it should not take more than a couple of hours. One mistake I made in my original post. The socket size is 18mm NOT 15mm. My apologies.

We break it down to fold down and into our van easily. Although we have taken only the wheels and handle off and put in on top of our folded flat van seat. It folds down and comes apart very easily, just a minute or two.

my husband put it together. It doesn't take much for the release but I am not sure. Sorry

I love my Polar Trailer and yes it stores up ended! I can send you a pic if you'd like.

I can be connected in under 5min.... I lower the trailer on to the ball so that's there's just a little weight on the hitch. Then lower the lock on the ball(may require pulling the truck forward an inch). Then attach the chains and tighten the bolts to the required thread count for your set up, then lower the rest of the weight onto the truck. To remove follow the same steps but in reverse. Remove most of the weight of the ball and you should, if at all back the nut out a few threads.
