Kickin' moto campin' up a notch...

[Mr Whiskey]

Now I need some ramps (or a deal on a lift)
& a travel trailer under 30'

[Rams]

Seek out a Toy Hauler, you'll be glad you did. 

Diesel I presume?

[deadpan]

Hey,
I have a 3 piece ramp set, I believe they are 9' long and the center section is 18" wide and the 2 others are 12" wide...I will confirm the measurements and send pics if you want....
I WILL MAKE YOU A KILLER DEAL! These were about $450 when I bought them...

I am in AZ zip code 85213, reply with your zip and I will try and nail down shipping

That Ford looks like a serious towing machine.  She looks in excellent shape, like the PO loved her.

Toy Hauler   5th wheel 

So many advantages.  Bikes under cover, large built in ramp, bike security if you park the trailer and travel in the truck, easy access to gear in the garage, tons of storage room, garage becomes a second bedroom.

     Nice  ! Great to have options

[dragonslayer]

There are some killer deals on Craigs list for lifts and campers just don't be in a hurry and something always pops up.

Can you shut the tailgate on a Valk loaded straight in? I've pulled camper with tailgate down but hooking/unhooking a little tricky sometimes.

No travel trailer here...just this comes with bed shaped air mattress and electric pump




Love the ramps

5th wheel toy haul would be my first choice. More convenient/versatile (wouldn't have to disconnect to unload bike, that's a biggie!), easier to maneuver, fits in smaller campgrounds (we really like outta the way places), garage for bike/outta the weather & more secure.
It's got alot of +'s but... ya give up quite a bit of livin' space, they're heavier (but that wouldn't matter too much, she's a 7.3 turbo), & considerably more expensive. I've still got my eye out!

Love that Loadall system! If we definitely go ramps that one's at the top of the short list.

Mind to pull a tape on 'em (I'm pretty sure I'll need at least 10'ers).
If they're longer PM me $ to 37918, thanks!

'97 F350 5sp w/410 gear, "bagged" rear suspension & add a leaf, hide-a-ball in bed, class 5 hitch (came with the class 4 reducer) & rust free. Took my Brother LawDog with us to shake it down & he said "If you don't buy it I'm gonna, it's in nicer shape than my '08 Dodge".
Yep, somebody luv'd it!

Yep, been huntin' right deal on truck for months

I'm pretty sure we'd hafta get a goose-neck tailgate, we're haulin' Wing. She'll fit in bed fine but trunk/bags make her jus' shy 10' long.

Cool set-up
I know we're goin' alittle overboard but we wanna go to...
http://www.balloonfiesta.com/
in the Fall (been talkin' 'bout it for years) & we're considering doin' some work campin' (or something) so we could stay awhile.
Lots a places we'd like to see, & ya know what they say "Go NOW"!

There's a 38 or 39' fifth wheel toy hauler here at 16125, two slides. Think it's an 2006,2008 he's asking 18k obo
If you need his phone number holler

[Jopson]

This was our camping setup when we went to Minnesota north shore last summer. Probably a bit too long for southern states though. Would like a fifth wheel toy haul myself, but this works well so long as I check towing laws of states we are going to.

[Bighead]

Hey whiskey you do know you can ride that wing to NM don't cha I was there last year on my IS and it is 18 yrs old
never thought I would even hear of you towing your Scoot
in all seriousness if you do get out there check out TAOS NM and north of there where the Rio Grand Gorge passes through it is cool :cool dude: been there three years in a row and loved it every time :cool smiley: US HWY 64 and yes it is the same US HWY64 that runs close to your part of the world,I have ridden US 64 from end to end

[cookiedough]

as said, definitely check craigslist.

I snoop on their 1-2 hours usually almost daily and find some really good deals on all kinds of stuff,  even camper trailers.   Some I say wish I had 10-20K laying around that is a good deal, this is a good deal, but then comes both kids college tuitions to consider???  ???

Wife and me went today to Gander mountain first day of 25% off clearance items and right next door was Camper world RV place and drove the lot closed on Sunday and we both said a smaller RV like we saw that sleeps 2-3 would be the ideal cruising rig in 20+ years if we make it that far that is to retirement to enjoy it. 

I bought a 7x23 v-nose snowmobile trailer less than 2 years ago new for 6.5K and keep telling the misses  we can easily camp and stay in that since have plenty of sleeping bags and propane heaters and fans to keep us out of the elements is the big thing?    This summer going to see if I can fit both my ATVs and the Valk I/S all inside maxing it out space and weight capacity wise.  Would really like to go with truck and trailer and 1 ATV and 1 cycle out west for a few weeks or more and see the sights.

[RDKLL]

Hey Mr Whiskey,

They are 9 footers. I looked at the 10' when I bought these and I think it was the cost difference. You would be just fine with the, you put them all down and you have both the center that you ride up on and the side one that you can put a foot down. I use to have to move from school to co-op every 12 weeks and I got so good, I could have the Valk loaded, secured and ramps stowed in about 10 minutes.
I will get shipping cost and let you know.

Friend just bought one of these

Going to Sturgis in style this year.

[Mr Whiskey]

Yep, me neither, but Doc. says the arthr is "progressive & degenerative" so....my days of tent campin' are quickly comin' to an end. (I'm really gonna miss it!)
Tryin' to turn a new page, eat better, loose weight, stop sittin on my fat a$$ drivin' roll-off 10/12 hours a day (some exercise sure wont hurt) & see what we can see.
Caint really afford this little adventure/lifestyle change/total madness, but I don't feel waiting is an option.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not sure if we'll really go through with it, but there sure are alot of places we'd like to see!

Just a thought...

Holy crap ! Is that real ?

It may be real but you ain't going down the road with it.  Using the door as a guide of 6' (doors are 6' 8") the trailer is over 60'

That's a pretty handy thing to have!
So technically it's illegal to pull twins in my state with pick-up...
Footnotes;
1) Maximum length 28'6" each. Must be towed by a truck tractor.
Thanks Brother, really 'preciate it
