I have a review.

My Uncle had one for his kids a few years ago. I could find out what kind if your would like. He said it was easy to hook up and pull but it wasnt great for long rides. Apparently you would freeze your Arse off riding in it. So if you do buy on, Bundle your kid up Eskimo style so he doesnt freeze to death.

 

I have one the kids love it.Found it used in the local paper.Paid $500 4 or 5 years ago.

 

Set a tent up for these guys a fews years ago at haydays. They make a nice product.

They are a top quality product. Buying new not cheap but my 5 4 year old one looks brand new

 

Bought one for our kids 3 years ago.
Not a lick of trouble with it.
Just hook up and go.
The only thing I could imagine that would make it better is some sort of a heater, as the windows tend to
get frosted over.
other than that I would say 9.9 on a scale to ten.

 

Thanks to everyone for the information. Blue Marble, I wouldn't mind having a review from your uncle, I'm curious to find out which make he has. It seems everyone has the Equinox Snowcoach. Trail Boss, Preacher and Crazy2, thanks for the info and the pictures (pictures are worth a 1000 words).

My only remaining concern is the weight. On their web site they state that the shipping weight is 350LBS. Is this acurate? I didn't realise that it could weigh that much (or maybe its me that's not realistic). Is the Snowcoach that heavy? I have a 2006 Ski-Doo GSX 550F, I hope I will be able to pull it with general ease. I guess it should be a good idea to add studs to my track right? What do you guys think? By looking inside your Snowcoach, do you see the possibility to add a little heater in there in order to keep the window frosting to a minimum? (The little 12v heaters sold in the automotive dept. at Canadian Tire) Thanks again for your help and please if you have any additional information that you might think would be helpful for me, please let me know.

Happy trail riding.

Equinox Snowcoach

 

I expect the shipping weight of 350 must include crating,
I believe the weight is closer to 200 to 250.
I can pull it easily behind my wifes 550 Legend.
But we pull it mostly with my 800 Renegade.
I have broke trail hauling it through quite a bit of snow.
hardly know its back behind you.

Other than breaking trail, what type of riding do you do while pulling the coach?

We too are looking for a good used one or potentially new.

We will have 2 kids riding in it. 1 - - 5 y/o and 1 - - 3 y/o and riding in Northern MI and the MI UP. 100 miles per day if the whoops and bumps are not too bad.

 

Keep in mind the kids riding in one of those should be wearing helmets. I realize the girls pictured may have gotten in just to take the picture. If you tip it over, it won't be pretty.

 

Those things look like fun. It might be good to check to see if they are allowed on your trail system. A friend of mine had one of the old style ones and when he went to use it he was stopped and told it was not legal. This was in Old Forge.

 

i have a snowcoach MPV (4 seats) which tows great but is just too big. i had to turn around on a narrow trail and it took a lot of work.i should have just un hooked it. in the north east, to be trail legal it must have lights(running and brake) which these do. the only recommended upgrade from the base model is Gas Shocks. the kids and my dog enjoy the hell out of it.cold has never been a factor but if you get one i reccomend adding some venting. with the dog in there it can get pretty foggy. as for helmets we usually use good quality bicycle helmets on groomed trails.
