Rgdl Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I currently have this set-up for when I take my non-roadworthy Jeep to the tails...... . I also have a 32ft gooseneck flat deck trailer and I will soon mount the camper on the front of it and haul the Jeep on the backside. This will free up the truck's box for hauling things when I need it. I eventually want to join the HDT club. I want to have a deck long enough to haul the Jeep (14ft deck should work) and tow a 5th camper behind. I know there are nice toyhaulers out there but the weight capacity in the garage is usually lower than what my Jeep weighs. And I want to have the flexibility to haul just the Jeep when I go to local trails, and on far away trips be able to drop the 5th and leave it at camp while I haul the Jeep to trailhead. I have seen a couple members' avatars with what looks like a Jeep/Bronco/Toyota on the deck. Let's see some bigger pics, and if you can please include details as to deck length, ramp size and storage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasFlyer Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 We have a Weekend Warrior CR3905 and you can fit a two door Wrangler inside with room to spare and without exceeding door or floor limits. It is 44' long and the only downside is that it is HEAVY when loaded, though nothing for an HDT.

I don't think this will work for me since my Jeep rides on 42" tires is taller than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgdl Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I really like this one. What is the reason for the ramps on the front of the deck? Is that where you store the mounting ramps are stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeromax Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 The loading ramps are stowed the deck between the tires. The ramps help get the Jeep all the way up to within 1/2 of the tire and the exhaust. 89 peterbilt 372 (the helmet) COE 3406 b 450 hp eaton fuller roadranger 18 speed 150,000 orignal miles A.K.A.

aeromax Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 The nice thing about a Cabover truck is you get to keep the wheel base short. my truck bumper to bumper is 24 feet which means when I'm hooked up to the trailer I am 65 feet total. I have very little trouble maneuvering in Rv parks. 89 peterbilt 372 (the helmet) COE 3406 b 450 hp eaton fuller roadranger 18 speed 150,000 orignal miles A.K.A.
