At the top of the thread, I show what I have,..... Not now, I have the Raptor. What a nice coach. Like a 24' 5th wheel with 2 slides and oh yeah, a 12' garage! I have 2 quads... A 4x4 Polaris and A polaris predator 2wd "zipper" They fit side by side as this is a wide body trailer. There is a work bench for tools and such. I added a small compressor with a hose and reel (not in the pics). The front bed slides out and has a front closet and dresser. Corner shower, 12' slide has couch and dinette. Cieling fan, Floor ducted furnace, 15K A/C All this on 3 axles that can support 15k but when all loaded up only weighs 12K so no worries on tire failure. Tires on the truck is another matter, gonna get ricksons 19. 5" Rims and F rated Michelin tires to ride better and have a better margin of safety.



Here are some pics

You see here the garage for the toys. Has lights, power outlets, I added 12volt outlets and the compressor.

Here is what saved me $1100. I was planning on getting the automatic slide from pull-rite untill I saw this. Now I can't do 90 deg but close..... like 70-75 deg. Thats enough... This extends the pin 10" back. Not alot, but it works. Some have said the pinbox can't support it,... . Leverage... . E-mailed the company that makes it, showed them this pic and they said it is fine. I also looked on the pin box. There are 12 bolts on it. This unit also gives the truck rails 3" more clearance. so that helps...

So here is how my truck sits when the trailer is hooked up.

I would be careful with these products. They themselves are stout but the chassis may not be up to the added stresses if the design/fab is already borderline. No doubt, some will be fine, but many won't.

I just bought a new 2005 Sandpiper F37SP toy hauler. I have been looking for several years and came upon a great deal for this rig. I paid $33,539 for it, well optioned. That includes air/gen/micro/onboard fueling, etc. In the garage area it has lots of overhead cabinents that I can use, instead of that drop down bed that I have no use for. Even with both slides in, the room inside is still serviceable.



Good luck on your purchase!
