I am considering the purchase of a camp trailer wherein you can drive the ATVs up a ramp into the camper. Just wondering if this is a good idea. I am a little nervous about getting gas/oil smells in the camper. I would appreciate your thoughts. THANKS.

All the people I ride with (10 families) have Weekend Warriors and they all love them. Never heard anyone complain about smells. I see you live in Utah, so I guess you know what desert winds are like! On a windy or cold day, it's great to have a place to hide. I looked into getting one. I would need something huge, probably a 5th wheel. I have a half-ton Suburban with a lot of money sunk into it. So a new truck is not an option.

Check out the Dutchmen 27' SRV-TT. Its has a divider wall between living area and the garage with a walk thru door. I've been looking at getting one. Room in the back for two full size atv's. I was priced one last weekend for $17,500.

I have a 30ft. 5th wheel trailer that i tow with my atv trailer hitched to the back. It becomes a pain hooking up the atv trailer all the time. You better know where you're going when you double it. I should have purchased a toy hauler, it would have made things a lot easier. Just my opinion.

Hello,
I just bought a toy hauler made by thor. It's a 21 foot Wanderer.
I got a good price for a loaded one for 16,000. It hauls 3 quads
and is the best thing on earth. Just load the quads air out the windows. You will not smell any gas when you get to your destination. I have taken it out five times and I smell no gas. You will love it.
goto : www.thorca.com and look at the wanderers.

LakotaBob:
When I thought I could afford one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I looked at just about every brand made. The best brand that I found is the Weekend Warrior. If you look at the different models, the Weekend Warrior flooring does not allow for the spills to "soak in". It is constructed for more "boondocking" or "dry-camping", off-road type of use. Better in almost every way except the price [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Do like I did, buy a Coleman tent trailer for $6200 then the ATV Pickup Caddy to haul 2 atv's for $1130, and spend the extra $9000 on a couple new machines!!

Do you have any pictures of your setup. I've been looking for a camper but the hauling of the quads has held me back so far.

idahoatver.

I thought about loading quads on top of a pop up & asked the guys in my atv club about it. They said the axles don't hold up real well to the extra weight. Any thoughts on this???
