It takes seven feet long by four feet wide to park an ATV on a trailer, more for spacers and offset wheels. For the open trailer plan, At a minimun, Three ATVs, you need a seven by twelve trailer. Watch careful, 3500 GVW is common in that size, your gear will probably put you over that. Six ATVs, you need twenty four foot deck, that'll probably come eight feet wide. You need 4800 pounds in reserve, but by the time you find a trailer this size, it might be 7000 gross, and you'll probably be at or over with just the bikes and no gear, or they come all the way up to HD equipment trailers that might weigh seven or ten thousand pounds by themself. For the enclosed trailer, pretty much the real estate inside will determine the weight and capacity unless you custom spec different, and you'll be about right for ATVs, but watch your dimensions. Eight feet wide inside (since you have to drive in side by side, or you have to have room to spin them). Space dissapears quick in an enclosed trailer. Make sure there's tie downs in the floor. Nothing worse than busting the walls out of a brand new shiny color matched trailer when some shmoe pulls out in front of you.
