beyerjf Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 This would be a conversation piece around the campfire, or forest fire, or tornado aftermath behind your HDT. Your tax dollars at work. Has a lot to work with to make a dandy custom trailer if you don't mind some modifications, can put up with the austere interior and can do without slides. That wheelchair lift might come in handy to put the motorcycle up inside. Heavy duty doesn't do it justice. Bulletproof comes to mind....One way to get away from those cheap everyday RV's...

I'mdonewiththis forum Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Definitely a reasonable sized generator! I can see lots of possibilities....... Besides, how many "fancy" fivers have a stainless steel toilet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Definitely a "man shed". My bride would NOT go for it. I saw no sleeping or cooking areas, really nothing but desk space.

EdwardHall Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I sent the dealer a request to do a walk around Video, lets see what happens. Hmmm, a flat roof, 5k solar, Quad Victron Multi's, 2 hacked Volt packs. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety3 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Wheelbase looks to be too long to get it into California, and will definitely require a tandem HDT due to weight/balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ad sez it has a 36" pin, the rear axle is at least 6 feet from the end of the trailer, pretty sure king pin to axle is under 40' I saw that trailer several weeks ago and never thought much about it, it is really pricey and too industrial looking inside. I have been looking for an auto drop trailer to play with, they seem to go fast on truck paper, at least the moderate priced ones.

EdwardHall Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Steve, Do you have a link to a similar looking one that you are looking at, even if it's overpriced? Just starting our search. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from SoCal Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Ed, Just look on Truck Paper in trailers, drop frame vans, auto drops are 123-126" high in the drop.

NoDirectionHome Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Without adding slide-outs, it would be very difficult to design a livable floor plan I would think. Bare canvas anything can be done with money though.
