No shit right? Sundowner makes a bad ass crawler hauler when the whole back end an open flat bed. That would be the easiest. Width and height are no longer issues and trimmed weight. I'd love to pick one of these up.

Just gotta fork over the $90-$120K for one. That why most people will buy a long ass flat bed and put a truck bed camper on the nose of them.

One of my Pet Peeves is cargo weight. Gotta estimate high not low. Unless somebody has a weight ticket, a angle iron POS, or an actual aluminum trailer. There isn’t a car Hauler worth towing a bunch that’s 2k.

And no, adding armor and lift and bigger tires/wheels is not going down from the curb weight that was already probably a stripped down base model.

Redneck Hauler would be awesome. I almost bought one of the legit badass ones off Pirate back in the day.

No way I’m dropping almost as much as my house on a trailer. GF and I aren’t looking for lots of creature comforts. A warmish dry space to crash is plenty. Standing upright room is good. A hangout of the weather turns would be nice. Hence my desire for a basic enclosed trailer.

That thing is sweet!! How wide is the garage space compared to a Sundowner?
The sun downer is designed to carry a vehicle. The RV manufactures are designed for side by sides and golf carts not a 4000 pound truck. gotta watch the weight and axle ratings.

Yeah exactly. The garage space inside the RV we’re looking at is 16’ long by 8’ wide and has a carrying capacity of 4500 lbs. Thats 4500 lbs for the whole trailer, so if you have supplies and water and gas onboard, the capacity for the vehicle decreases by that amount.
Our car only weighs 2700 lbs, so it’s no problem. I like that flatbed Sundowner for weekend getaways with a bigger rig, but I definitely couldn’t live in it fulltime.
