A few years back we couldn’t pay the agriculture guys to take a tandem style camp. They would only take wagons style camps mainly because it’s all they have ever known. Now day’s it’s not often that we sell one of these style camps....even the agriculture guys are buying tandem axle camps. Each has its advantages and disadvantages but in the end it is going to come down to what the customer wants. Glad you enjoyed the into! We changed it just for you.
Thanks for that walk around. Do you all make the frame and suspension in house on the wagon or is that an agricultural trailer that's being repurposed? Either way, that's an interesting option.
@@peakmountaincamps I had just picked one up to help my mom move a couple 100 miles, but I have to take it on the highway at highway speeds of 60 or 70mph, and I don't know much about wagon style trailers, but on forum's people are claiming they're not safe to drive at these highway speeds and they'll sway or tip over, and they're impossible to backup. I guess no tongue weight makes then unsafe at high speeds? Considering you build them, I figured you with no better... Are these people incorrect? It would be great for using to harvest firewood and taking it on the back roads, but I need to be able to drive safely on the highway to get back to the ranch.
@@nickdial8528 ours are custom built for sheep camps and the way that the weight is distributed in them. We have incorporated 1 ton ends as well as dual steering stabilizers to aid with the issues associated with no tongue weight. I wouldn’t recommend pulling anything other that our camps at highway speeds. I can speak from person experience pulling other manufacturers wagons down the road. It can become dangerous very quickly.
@@peakmountaincamps OK see, I was wondering what you guys did about the tongue weight issue at highway speeds. That's good to know, thank you for the response.
@@nickdial8528 no problem. A lot of the agriculture guys that have older camps will actually chain the front axle solid so that it can move as they are traveling. This allows them to pull them safer on paved roads and might be something worth looking into.
Very good video. Thank you.
Super informative. I've always wondered why this frame isn't used more often. Btw..really like the new intro. No headaches 😁

@@peakmountaincamps 🥰 I feel special. Thank you.

An independent suspension on all 4 corners with all wheel steering could be the ultimate modern wagon.
Very doable. Just not easily serviceable should you run into issues out on the road.
Cool video! Really enjoy these feature explanation videos.
hi i can’t seem to find a trailer shop who will build a wagon frame like this for me. do you know of one ? thanks, k
I have a ranch, so I do a lot off road and on road towing, is a 4 wheel wagon set up OK on the highway when I need to drive on pavement?
Yes they are capable of highway speeds but it is off the pavement that these wagon style camps really shine.
