. What if I would rinse ATV often etc. to combat rust?
I'd personally go with the enclosed trailer because you can stick all your stuff in there, lock it, and it stays out of the weather.
This might be a dumb question, but when you get to the lake, do you unload the ATV, then drop the trailer, then pull the trailer out on the lake with the ATV?
