Car hauler Question

[catoiler]

Have been looking at car hauler /camper combos and was wondering if anybody had any input on them. The fifth wheel looks the way to go, as I am thinking about putting the boat behind it.











Thanks,Mike

The fifth wheel is the way to go withou a doubt. Good luck on your search for a good one.

Are you looking at Race trailers with living quarters or toy boxes?



The toyboxes I looked at didn't have the cargo capacity for real cars (just dune buggies/ATV's). They were also too high off the ground to drive a street car into unless you built mega long ramps.



That said, I bought a 36' southwest expressline GN race trailer. I couldn't afford the living quarters so I bought it as an empty box and have been adding amenities as time/$'s permit.

Eric,the ones we were looking at are what they would consider"toy box",I need one to haul the race car and sleep in. dang hotels are getting over priced! There are at least 10 people when we go and the hotel and food add up real quick.







Thanks,Mike

5er or GN are the only way to go. They have much better stability and manuverability.



I ordered a 48ft GN from http://www.aluminumtrailer.com/ I'll be picking it up in March.



The price might be a bit higher than some others but I liked the construction and I saw a thread where another TDR member was very pleased with his.



I ordered mine without living quarters and intend to install my own.



Good luck

These look interesting and seem to be reasonably priced.

Mike, What kind of car? When I was looking (not very hard) at toy boxes I didn't see any that I could get my (SCCA SoloII E-Stock MR2) into. Hopefully the model avalibility has increased in the last few years.



Good luck.

I'll bet you could fit about anything in here:

CScott is right you can't buy a better trailer than One from The Aluminum Trailer Company. I have a 28ft tag and have never had one problem with it. There is no wood in my trailer. Why would you buy a heavy wood and steel trailer like Pace? I figure the weight difference will put a lot less stress on my truck and more than make up any price difference. It tows like a dream.

Good luck in your search,

Rod



CATOILER I just noticed you were from Lancaster do you ever get to LACR?
