Mainly something like the above but I dunno what brands are out there that I can compare to. This one has room for 4 racebikes (everything folded up) freezer , fridge, stove, range, a/c hot water, heat, shower, toilet, awning, sleeping for 8, stereo, and more. 12,000$$ BRAND NEW NEVER USED!!! What others can I compare it too and I need sites to look at as there isn't any REAL dealers in the area. [/COLOR]

Hey Tim,



Have you tried a search in New Hampshire? It seems that you can't go more than 200 yards on the road (the road to NE Dragway) without seeing a trailer or truck place. I'm drawing a blank as to what road or number that is.



Let me go find my atlas... .

Toolman, you might take a look at horse trailers (I know--sounds dumb), but I recently saw quite a few on a lot in eastern wash. with living quarters, slide-outs, room for up to 6 horses(bikes,workshop,whatever). Just a thought---

 

[Pogodually]

I've looked at several different brands. Have owned a Hitchiker http://www.Nu-Wa.com (fifth wheel). I know they make a nice unit and have looked at there TOY TOTER. This unit is lower to the ground than others (less of an angle to bed). Thats what I liked about it, lower CG and better handling My Nu-Wa fiver Keep me warm down to about 2 degrees, and was happy with that fact.

Here's one

TMTT,

I've been considering one of these.

Patiohauler. I like them because they have a wall between the garage and living area. Plus, the garage opens up on the sides to be used as a patio / porch.

BTW, "Welcome back,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,starterd to think you & Mini-me had left the country"

Tim,

Theres are a lot of Brands out there.

Weekend Warrior

Carson Trailer

Dunes

Fleetwood

Toybox

Sandpiper

Wildwood

Aljo-->Since your back east, This one has a "Snow Roof"

12k sound like a good price. The Weekend Warrior is gonna be about double that price though. Most of the other brands out there are about the same price range as the one you looked at.

Doug.

I've got a 32' Patio Hauler 5th wheel. it has a 10' long garage area that fits my 2 racebikes and all my gear. Its nice because there is a bulkhead and door between the garage area and living area. Its very well made and has everthing, stove, refer, microwave, bathroom w/shower, queen size bed over the front. Tows real nice too.

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Man I had no Idea

I sold my U. S Cargo utility and am now in the market for one of theese babys and I saw one up at CCS Race weekend at loudon and man I NEEEEEEED to have one hotels and whatnot are a thing of the past now wake up go and reg for races and back to the trailer and live it up a bit.

I just purchased the Keystone 21 Tail-Gator. It has everything that you've shown on your post. I will take it on it's maiden voyage this weekend for the Florida Georgia Game. One of the things my Wife liked about it was it does not have a bedroom to be wasted. The unit was designed to accomodate a generator. I am having an New Onan Emerald 5. 5 KW installed today. I am very impressed with the hauling capacity (5000 lb). Mine has fiberglass on the exterior, so I spent a little more than 12 K. I have installed cables on the ramp so that it can be leveled off as a deck.

Tim:



Another idea you might want to consider is a truck camper (e. g. Lance) and an enclosed trailer for your bikes.



Why? The reason I went that route is because that way I can go camping even when I don't want to take my car, and be able to fit into much smaller places (like the national parks campgrounds). Nothing to tow, so less length to deal with, etc.



If I were to do the trailer with garage and living quarters, I'd look at the various 5th wheel race trailers with living quarters like others have mentioned in this thread.

Hey Tool Man Tim

I bet it was my rig you saw at the CCS races at Loudon. I'm there every month. My Patio Hauler 5th wheel is always parked in front of my garage (#10 in the center). I race a TZ250, #39 expert. What are you racing?



Hey, if you want to come by and check out my setup, let me know, I'm in Salem NH.

Nhis

LRRS/CCS # 605 Am ZX-7R Good thing is I finally woke up and Started this season after goin up there 20 or so times and after turning a 1:24 Someone suggested I start racing for giggles. After watching you guys 2 laps I ran for the digital audio reminder recorder and hung by the wall and still listen to that sweet sound of speed comin' hot into turn one

Tim,



There is an RV dealer off Route 8 in Litchfield. Hemlock Hill is the name I believe.

love mine

I had a Tailgator 235, liked it, but sold it. Bought a 34' 5er , also a Tailgator, Love it ! Both had the rear bulkhead seperating the cargo from the living areas. The cargo areas are 8'X10', I don't know if that is enough for you but it serves me well. No hassels converting from hauler to camper. It is a nice rig for the money, although the Patio Hauler is nicer it will run about $10K more. If you need a big race shop on wheels and a small camper check out Featherlite, they make some really fine rigs for bike racers, just be prepared to come off some coin !

Ya know......

fireman56,

I keep tryin to find featherlite's Website but all I can find are dealers and not an ACTUAL featherlite Website. Any Ideas on what it might be (The closest thing I found featherlie wise was only 46-53 footers for Semi's) Man I still am reading and pro~conning all of the above sites (Aljo being the best lookin')

Do a search on my user name & you'll find more info. I bought a '00 Patio Hauler 351F (living room s/o) in June for $22k. This last weekend was its maiden voyage w/two dirtbikes in the Patio. Patio Haulers are made in Idaho. Sportsmen in Missouri makes a similar trailer.



Here's Featherlites version - I priced one at the local dealer ~$50K
