My Toy Hauling Train

This is what I have to take to Windrock. We tested it for about an hours drive yesterday. I did not feel real comfortable, but it will have to do for this trip. Got a wireless camera to see if the hitch fails on the rear of the 5th wheel. It'll be to late by the time we see it though. I tried, with no success, to get a trade in price on our 3 year old 5th wheel, on a new 30 foot Work & Play by Forest River. The local dealer is kind of a one man operation on the sales end. His dad has had a stroke, so he is slower than ever. Maybe we will work something out by the next trip.

You got more guts than I do. I could not drive that without being nervous.

Bet backing up is fun.

more SAC than me, id make two trips...lol

How many guys are going to the ride from Louisville? The RZR can't hitch a ride with someone else????

Ya....I was gonna say....see if anyone else would haul your S on their trailer.....

As long as the weeble-wobbles don't happen, I think it will haul. Comfortable?? No, but I've hauled way more sketchy stuff than that......Right Yank???

I'm leaving Thursday morning. His trailer can only hold one RZR. The mountains will be the biggest task, besides not putting it in situation to have to back up. Still working on a Toy Hauler trade. That won't happen until I get back.

Gimp you should be ok, till you get up to 100 MPH

gettin up to 100 not too bad, slowin down from 100 now theres where the fun begins, on about 3% grade....... better wake up Earl. If I see ya on the trail going down there I'll be sure to give ya plenty room just in case, lol

Hey Les, I can take the tool box out of the truck and I bet we can get the RZR to fit. Unless you know someone with a 28 foot+ trailer.

HEy you can get a RZR in a long bed. You should only need a 20 triler for 2 rzrs

Earl dropped his Cigar......
Gimpy..... so long as you load everything correctly you'll have NO problem.....the wiggles usually happen between 40 and 50......just make sure that you have some tongue weight. With out it ya get wiggles

Shane and I are riding together. Therefore, I will have two machines on the trailer already. So I would need 30 footer to get three.

Gimpy, you shouldn't have any problems with that set up. We pull doubles like that in the past with four wheelers, motorcycles and never had any problems. Should be ok with your setup. It is pretty much like ours except we have a Wildcat.

If anything happens, I have good insurance. We are commited to do it.

I haul like that regularly. But, I tow with an F350 dually diesel, a 29ft Jayco fifth wheel camper, and a 20ft triple toon pontoon boat going to Cumberland, or a 16ft utility trailer with the rhino on it when we go to Brimstone. Getting over Jellico is not a problem at all. I wouldn't do it with anything less than a 1 ton, but that's just me.

Properly working brakes are a must on all brake axles! My boat trailer and the 16ft utility that I tow behind the camper each have surge brakes. The fifth wheel camper has electric brakes.

I've never had a problem towing in this manner. Stopping is relatively easy, and cruising on the interstate @ 70mph is effortless. I've taken the entire setup through downtown and around city corners. It tracks great, nothing to it, really.

You'll get some looks, and your picture will probably get taken a few times.

I even had a Ky State Trooper turn around on US 25 once and follow me for about 5 miles. Then he did another U-turn and went the other direction. I guess he was checking to see if I was creating a dangerous situation, holding up traffic, or something. He just went on his way and didn't pull me over.

Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I think you will be fine. I was crazzy I had a Jeep wrangler and would pull a popup camper and a 5x8 trailer with a golf cart on it. It would track great but stopping took a few extra feet. I know your camper is a lot bigger but the Jeep was a lot smaller and lighter than your truck.
An like Mollieandgil said I see people pulling there pontoons behind there campers all the time. I think your trailer would pull better than a pontoon would.

It did ok. I did not like to do it. Looked at more haulers yesterday. Haven't made up my mind on what to get.
