noteven Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 What is the make and model of your snowmobile? Quote "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rving mr Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 4 hours ago, sandsys said: I looked at the two examples you gave and realized your snowmobile would take at least 1/3 of the trailer's carrying capacity. How do you plan to live full time with so little space and capacity to store anything? How much does your snowmobile suit weigh and how compactly does it compress? Do you plan on eating only freeze-dried food to keep that weight down? I'm curious as to how you plant to live full time in such a unit. Linda Sand The snowmobile will be parked out side during living. The videos (in my opinion) are terabul design. I can make crank down racks or cargo nets that mount to the ceiling during transporting. I might have some space on top of roof. I have not started designing it yet. I'm steal browsing to see if there is any easier way to do what I want. 1 hour ago, noteven said: What is the make and model of your snowmobile? I have not started shopping yet.

So, you'll need to pack tools as well? It doesn't matter how good your design skills are if your frame and axels can't carry the weight you need.

Lance A Lott Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I know many, many, people who tow 2 horse with small dressing room horse trailers with 1/2 ton trucks. They would hold a snow machine fine and still give you the gooseneck for sleeping. You might even find a small living quarters(LQ) if you look around. Also as has been said not all 1/2 ton trucks are the same, my neighbor pulls a 25 foot or so travel trailer, it has bunks and looks good size, with a Toyota, when he traded he got the same thing so he must be happy. I will not speculate as to his gvw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How close is he to combined gross vehicle weight? He may not be able to carry those tools in his truck either.
