P500 New trailer / garage.

[kf9ez]

I've been thinking about getting into a setup like that. My car is only good to tow 3500 pounds, so that really limits me. No toy hauler till I can afford to buy a truck. I'm primarily going to use it for weekend trips to riding areas. I don't want anything fancy, just a roof over my head for when it rains. My dad is huge into RV's. His is like 45' or something crazy. Doesn't make much sense to me. Go out riding and get all muddy then you're worried about trashing the RV. Not to mention trying to drive that thing back in the woods to some of these campgrounds.

I've been itching to buy a cheap trailer (non enclosed) for hauling my toys. I hate borrowing trailers. Probably just going to wait and buy an enclosed one next year as a makeshift camper/toy hauler.

Maybe instead of two birds with one stone (garage and trailer) it will turn into three birds (garage, trailer and camper). As busy as I am with other things it may take a few years, but it would be a fun project.

Different strokes, but the huge rigs don't interest me at all.

I want to get off-road to camp, not just off-Interstate.

My 1-ton 4wd Ram/Cummins dually with my 9' Lance camper (full bathroom, fridge, A/C, ducted furnace, oven, nuke, TV, stereo, queen bed) and indestructible steel cargo trailer can cross creeks, negotiate jeep trails, and get me to places where people on ATVs look and say, "How in hell did you get THAT in here?"

Low range, I say.

Cool. What is the make and model, if you don't mind me asking. I'm looking for ideas.

Carson Trailer - RV Sport / Toy Hauler Trailers They are out there.. I like that it's half ton towable.

18' double axle. Can drag this behind me down most two tracks. Plan is to put P5 in truck bed.

This is how I secure the P500 in the back of our toyhauler...

I thought I would post a couple of pictures of my trailer which doubles as a garage for my p5.

The trailer is a 2005 Featherlite model 1610, 14 foot enclosed cargo trailer that I bought used last fall. It has a 6'6" interior height, aluminum floor, white drop ceiling, extra interior lights and aluminum wheels.

Besides its traditional use as a trailer, I also use it as a portable garage at our place in Adams County, Wisconsin. When parked and unhitched I put jack stands under the frame at the back.

As background, the p5 is too big to fit in our existing shed up north. I thought about building a new, larger shed, but this seemed to be the better solution. Two birds, one stone.

One picture shows my p5 pulling the trailer. I was re-positioning the trailer into a tight spot so decided to see how it would pull with the Pioneer. I was surprised that it pulled so easily.

I plan to install some cabinets in the front of the trailer for tools, etc.

I hope the pictures work. View attachment 15279 View attachment 15280 View attachment 15281

looks good! I have the same trailer but my issue is I just bought a 700-4... its 2 inches too tall!

Does it have brakes, and what does that one weigh? Looks like a perfect solution for me, but I only have a vehicle with 3500 lb towing capacity.

Thanks
