Unfortunately your "pig" would be too long AND too heavy.
It would be a squeze to just get 2 YJ/TJ's in there and with only inches to spare.
There is 6K of cargo capacity and I'm sure my POS is over 4K by itself.

i guessed as much, i saw the 4k/10k you posted. well at least i get to fix my pig in there

What is your tow rig again Kurt?

I saw an Extreme RV show that had the guy who owns the company that makes those semi based car hauler/RVs... Dude was towing another trailer and a boat (on a 3rd trailer) with his... Was nuts.

You should bring it to the WWP fundraiser with the enclosed trailer. We can hang the BSJ banner on it.

I could probably do that.

EAAAASY now.... anything we do, has to be OK'd by HC dealership. LOL....I asked about a "booth", don't have the answer yet, definitively.

Yeah I was trying to find a picture of that to show as my "purchase." That thing is awsome. Pure awsome.

don't you know someone over there??

If we park a few Jeeps in front of it then it will take up the same amount of space as individual jeeps / dodges.

Oh and stop hijacking Kurt's thread.

She said it would "probably" be ok...not "hey go ahead, bring whatever size anything ya want and take up all the spaces" LOL....I'm not hijacking....just clarifying we don't have total creative control over the WWP show!

Kurt, I like your idea of turning your new trailer into a toy hauler camper combo. One thing you may want to consider however is that in doing so you will have to secure your Jeep in the rear most portion of the trailer. I think that you might find the weight distribution to cause some stability concerns while towing, even with the stabilizing hitch. Also that loading ramp door looks like it may prove a bit too flimsy to handle the weight of your Jeep driving over it.

You can check with Frosty, he is doing the same thing with his trailer. Not sure how long his is but I would guess it is the same as yours.

The work is already done. Fishished this past weekend.
I put up a partition ahead of where the Jeep needs be to keep the Jeeps weight in the correct spot in the trailer.
There is some added weight up front now with what I've put into it. I purposely put the water tank and batteries way up front to keep the tongue weighted properly. If needed I can always position the Jeep back to tweek the tongue weight.
The weight distribution hitch will help to with keeping the truck level.

The loading door is sturdy and is made to be driven on by vehicles. The PO had the trailer custom built extra tall to carry his buggy and gear.

Wired it up to either run from the inverter & deep cycle batteries (like at RC) or it can plug in while at F&F. I put in a external power inlet and a transfer switch to select either. Also added a slew of lights and outlets in the rear and up front. All GFCI protected of course.

Floor Plan of the front third of the trailer. The work bench folds down to make room for loading the Jeep.

No AC?
