I looked at a couple of the "garage" trailers and found the living quarters to be very cramped. Of course I was only looking at models that were under 26 feet, so that may have been why.

Shootecogo, it sounds like you're looking for something that's gonna be too much for your suv to haul.

Can you talk the wife into a new/used heavy duty pickup and a 5th wheel?

If you can, does she have a sister? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Now wouldn't that be nice. I had a hard enough time convincing her to get a trailer in the first place. So I'm prety much stuck with what I've got. What about this idea. I have a 20' 4 plave snowmobile trailer and Iwas thinking of mounting an 8' pop up camper sideways on the front of it. That would be light enough and easy to tow, but still give me room to sleep 6 and haul 4 wheelers. Any thoughts???

 

Have you looked at the Scorpion?

I looked at those, but the wife is short, and her feet wouldn't touch the floor when sitting on the bed. (couldn't put her shoes on) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

They're light enough you could pull them, the deck is big enough for 4 quads and it also makes a nice patio when the quads are unloaded.

 

It doesn't seem like the deck is big enough for 4 full sized utility machines? I haven't been able to find one that is big enough that was the reason I thought to fabricate my own on a big enough trailer.

 

I looked at a 2005 model, and I thought it was big enough. But, for the price they wanted, I got the WW for 1000 more.

Still, I did like the deck area. Make a great party patio, provided you didn't fall off. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Finally tracked down a site that gave the deck size.

Rear Deck is 105" X 96"

From this dealer.

Looks like another one that would hold 3, but not 4.

 

That is the deck size on the Scorpion S2 the S1 has an 8ft x 12ft deck. I also have been in the same situation looking around at some toy haulers. I was trying to find something light enough i could tow with my wagon but still had room for the quads a bathroom and shower and a little sleep area for the 4 of us. The Scorpion looks nice but at 15k for a popup trailer with so so amenities i am not sure. I found this trailer the other day
Pace Explorer

It is basically a box trailer that has the amenities added into it. the biggest one with the two 5000lb axles starts at 14,900. I would rather spend that kind of money on something like this then the pop up Fleetwood. For right now i think i am just going to look for a basic box trailer for hauling and wait til the kids are old enough to go along then jsut upgrade to a truck and something like the WW. Its so hard to buy anything anymore as you can't really get the good service. Most dealers will sell you anything even if you can't pull it. Really need to use the internet and look around. Go to some sites like RV.net and talk to people and see what they say.

 

I bought a 2006 Keystone Hobbi HB260 (biggest one they make). Dealership told me it was 1/2 towable. I've got a 2002 F-150 Crewcab 4x4 5.4 triton and it pulls ok empty, but when I put 4 quads in it w/gear and such it gets unstable. I purchased it at Pontiac RV in Pontiac, IL and am pretty unhappy with it. the laminate on the bathroom walls are separating, the lining on the ceiling is buckling. A couple of the cabinet doors fell off.

I'm actually pretty disgusted with it.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I was considering buying one of those trailers. Now I will have to re look at my options. Has anybody made there own Scorpion type trailer by using a snowmobile trailer and pop up camper??? It doesn't seem like it would be to hard to do, and then I could get the size I need and still be light enough.

 

Can't remember where I saw it, but someone has made their own trailer like that.
