Taking your toys with you

[rynosback]

This person is taking their toys to the NEXT level.  Taking his boat, Jeep, HD motorcycle and two bicycles.  I have never seen this before and I bet I will never see it again.

I have to wonder what kind of a hitch he's using.

I have seen several stacker trailers like that in my travels.  They are no different than the big enclosed stackers, just a little cheaper because of the exposed design.  This style is lighter than the enclosed style also.  As long as the DP pulling it is rated properly for the weight, I see no issue with it and would consider it as an option for me if I had a DP and wanted all my toys with me as well.

From what area, I can't read the license plate.

Yes the enclosed trailer even can carry more but that is the most on a open trailer.

We don't travel so light either, see pics of our rig and trailer!

Welcome to campground clutter.

Darn! He didn't have room for the ATV's and the golf cart!

Last winter  we were parked behind a man who had his toys along in an enclosed trailer; 2 small motorcycles, 1 2015 Corvette, 1 boat, and patio furniture. He was traveling in a 2017 tag axle Foretravel.

Took him a week to get everything packed up prior to leaving.

I'm guessing they take main roads to a destination then explore from there in their toys.

That picture provides somewhat of an optical illusion on the height of the boat on the trailer.  I would bet if you measured it it would not be any taller than the the Class A is.  In fact, assuming the Class A is near 13' (plus or minus) tall at the air conditioner (which many large class A's are) the trailer won'y be much taller if at all.  The tallest anyone can be legally going down the road is 13'6".  My 5th wheel is 13'4" tall at the air conditioners.

To help me understand that illusion I mentally compared it to a trailer hauling two levels of cars. A boat on a trailer on the ground with an outboard motor attached is not taller than a typical car. So how could that loaded trailer possibly be taller than a bi-level auto rack? Would that make it tall enough to have problems in most campgrounds? I don't know. How many 5th wheels that tall do you see in your campgrounds?

I think we are saying the same thing.  I am saying the trailer is not as tall as it appears compared to the RV in the background because of perspective.  I don't think this trailer is taller than a typical stacker rack.  I think it is the same height or lower than the RV.

As to your question about 5th wheels, most of the large 5th wheels rolling down the road (the 40 footer range trailers) are at least 12 feet tall and closer to 13 feet at the air conditioners.  Every current DRV coming off the assembly line is somewhere between 13 feet tall and 13 feet 6 inches tall at the air conditioner.

I agree.

When there is a will, there is a way! We had our truck built and customized so we can bring our motorcycles, but then wanted to haul a side x side to have some more fun in the desert so I designed and engineered a method to carry our side x side on the roof of the truck garage. We use a Spitzlift mini crane to pick up the side x side to put on the roof or back to get where we need to go. 

Total with the unit on top we are 13'-2"!

Ditto.

Just goes to show - you CAN take ALL your toys with you!........  Is there room for something he missed?

Saw one similar a few years ago at Avi Casino.

If you put a roof rack on you could take a 4 wheeler too! Or a small boat. Gives me ideas and that's bad.
