Anyone have a 7ft wide enclosed trailer with the P500? Enough room to exit the sxs ok inside? Debating on a 7x16 versus 8 ft wide from comments on excessive wind drag. Likely extra height due to roof and taller tires.

I have a 12x7 Hallmark trailer . Width isnt the issue , p5 is too tall to go in . My Rzr will only go in if I collapse the rear springs/shocks .

My toyhauler is 78" wide between the wheel wells . The door height is also 78". I don't have to much trouble getting in or out. I usually load it with the drivers door open. Ztrailer1Toyhauler

I've used the open drivers door trick too.
I strap the door open with a small bungee strap so it stays open.
Keep having visions of backing it out, forgetting about the door and ripping it off.
Hey, if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

I have a 6 x 12 enclosed Lark trailer, Inside dimensions are 11'-4" L (13'-2" to V-nose) x 5'-8" W x 6'-6" H - Door is 5'-3" W x 6'-0-1/2" H. My 2017 fits fine, open trailer side access door, drive in forward, set brake, exit through passenger side. Tie down on 4 corners and your done. My trailer is single axle, and my VW Touareg pulls it just fine at 75 MPH.

After looking at 7x16 and 8.5x20, about ready to order 8x18, 7 ft tall with beaver tail entry, 80 inch tall door opening. Around $5k with upgraded materials. Spartan trailer. Any insight? P500 and Rancher atv only had 6 inches in length to spare in 16 footer.

Sounds like the 8 x 18 will fit your needs nicely. While the 7 x 16 would work, a 6 inch cushion isn't a lot, and you loose other storage space, I keep a trailer spare and jack kit in the trailer, plus room for cooler, etc.
