Question:
I'm trying to figure out the best travel trailer set up. I want to go with
a fifth wheel b/c of the superior handling, but then I have no place to put
my dirt bikes (2). Can a rear deck be welded onto the frame of the trailer?
Is two bikes too much weight? Maybe I should find a way to put one on the
front of the truck? Maybe I have to give up on the 5th wheel concept? I
really don't want a motorhome--anybody have ideas?
Answer:
-Yea, get a Toy Box Trailer/5th wheel. Carries all of your bikes in the back
end. I have a Weekend Warrior Roadhouse. Although the model I have is not a 5th
wheel, they do make one. They are great for Dirt Bike Camping.
-The Toy Houses do work, but they compromise the living quarters of the
trailer, and also increase the weight of the trailer. Depending on your
pick-up, the additional weight could be an issue.
I have used a regular travel-trailer for several years. This set-up has
several advantages: there are a virtually unlimited number of
floorplans, the newer ones are lighter and easier to tow, and you can
pile all of your dirty dirt-bike stuff in the pick-up (this is important
in keeping your trailer up to your spouse's standards). Be sure to get
enough truck to pull your trailer, both in terms of motor and
frame/suspension capacity.
