Did you buy the one they had on ad for $15 that you mentiond above?? i was gunna buy that one too or the big 26ft one but i found the one i bought and couldn't pass the deal up

 

Take a look at the Predator toy hauler by spirit RV. I bought one a year ago and have been very pleased with the quality and customer service<u>Text</u>. two of my co-workers have an Attitude and WW.my freind with the Attitude has had major issues with the factory in getting things repaired(major things like structure). He is in the process of getting it Lemon lawed. The other one has had electrical problems because of the way they run their wiring resulting in shorts. Both problems seem to be a result of hi volume production. But best of all Predators customer service is top notch. Here is their web link. http://predatortoyhaulers.com/

 

The original they had was 19k, but they sold it. Just happened to catch them at the right time, and got this deal. They never even had a chance to advertise it for sale. A lot of the dealers put one or two on the rv site, but then I check their websites too to see if they have anything else they haven't advertised.

Did take mine out this past weekend, and had a good time.

 

I have a 24ft Funrunner that I haul around 3 reg size quads, 3 reg size dirt bikes and a KX60 along with a full size tool box and gas bbq pit. I've also been able to haul 4 Harley's (2 Road Kings, & 2 Softtails) no problem. It's gets kinda squirly when I go over 65 but thats because I pull it behind a lifted Excursion (6.0 td w/CAT tranny) with 35's. Squirly even with the torsion bars on the tongue maxed and played with weight distributing many times in the trailer. When I had my dually(7.3 d) I could go like 80 easy on flat highways. Behind my motorhome it pulls no problem except I don't go over 55-60 with it. The dealer said that the squirly issue is due to the side wall flex on my 35's on the Excursion. I'll just deal with it because I'm not changing the Excursion.

Now that I have bought a 4th reg size quad (LTR450) I can't fit everything in it w/out standing 2 quads up and I don't like doing that.... I'm looking into getting a 24ft cargo trailer since I don't really need a kitchen or restroom in the trailer. I love the Funrunner but have just outgrown it. It also nice having my garage back and being able to lock up the toys in the hauler.

 

No Disrespect, but 1/ ton's aren't really cut out to pull a decent size load. In most cases if you have a decent sized trailer (tandem axle, over 22 feet) you'll be over loaded (exceeding the GVWR) after you have all your stuff loaded into it IE: ATV's, gear, clothing, fuel, tools, food, water, Kicthen stuff, towels, Etc... I tried it and didn't like how the loaded trailer pushed the truck around and braking was not so good either... I beleive having a truck bigger than the rated load is very comforting thing. Now if I was going 30-50 miles, or all flat ground I might bend the thought some... At a minimum.... I've towed with them all... 1/2 ton w/Pull trailer and 5th wheel, 3/4 with both and 1 ton crew cab dually with a 35ft 5th wheel. The most comfortable was the dually... I'm not trying to rain on your parade at all...don't get me wrong.... 1/2 ton's can do alot, but their really not a serious tow vehicle when the load is decent in size (smaller brakes, ligher duty frame, rear-end Etc...

While I do only have a 1/2 ton, I've gotten the bigger brakes and a bigger rear end. In my situation, I'm only pulling about 6000 fully loaded. Well below the listed rating ( 10500). And good working trailer brakes are a must. I could have gotten the 3/4, but at 12mpg (without trailer) and only going on serious (over 150 miles) trips no more than 3 times a year, the 1/2 ton is working well for me.

 

This toyhauler discussion is a big one in our house. Right now we have a regular TT and are talking about upgrading to a fifthwheel toyhauler. We do not want to lose the luxury of the TT. But we want to be able to put the toys in the back of the toyhauler and not the truck. The other question is a garage or no garage. We are looking at the Keystone Raptor 3310SS, Holiday Rambler Next Level 34CK, or the KZ Sportsmen Sportster 33P. We are leaning toward the Sportmen Sportster 33P since it has a slide and a garage. We get the best of both world. And it is still short enough to fit into some campgrounds. If anyone has an opinion on any of the above fifth wheel toyhaulers I would love to hear them. Good luck on your toyhauler search quadduck..

 

Hey ATVrider37, we have a Raptor 5th wheel. You will not be disapointed with the Raptor. We liked it so much I went out and bought a Raptor 700R[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
