I think as I get older my tastes and needs have really changed. I still would like to get a large motorhome and pull an open trailer with a Jeep or other small dingy vehicle, along with 2 quads and a side by side. That would be a pretty long open trailer. If all I needed was a trailer, then I'd settle for something that could haul a side by side and a couple quads. You can do that with an 18 ft car hauler as long as it has side extensions so you can load the quads side by side.. then I am back to hotels. I already have the truck to tow it with.

Johnny, I haven't seen it, but then again, I am not out in the desert or the SW for that matter. I pull in the East and upper mid West. And the climate has more moisture to keep the dust down. If anything, Mud is a problem. Thankfully I have a built in external shower can can hose my machines down prior to loading. I also carry a small electric pressure washer.

Look into closed cell spray foam. Many contractors insulate their trailers with it. The closed cell will not allow dust or water to penetrate. I will need to be covered after the fact, its flammable.

A couple of the enclosed trailers I've seen have vents to let the gas fumes out. It's probably where the dust comes in if you have them.

there is no way around the "dust" for us. It's a "fact of life" in West Texas.
We MUST Improvise, Adapt and Overcome.

The "dust" will finds it's way into places even God does not know about.
