I am looking at an old 38 foot jayco it has 3 7k axles i will be pulling it with my international 4700 4 door truck got a bunch of good ideas from you video your trailer cam out really nice
Because of the rub rails and style of ramps you can with this trailer. And I would normally agree with you, however the person who started this trailer only framed out the rails to 7'6" which would make it tight for a UTV to sit crossways. Although it's done frequently, most UTVs are over 8'6" wide which is the max width on highway. Most are like 9' so no one really bothers, but a bored or grumpy DOT/highway patrol officer could make your weekend riding trip very frustrating.
To move it yes, unless you have the short short bed. It was reasonable to turn with the 6.75 superduty bed. With a couple of side by sides on it, yes. but take it easy. Short answer, yes, but only if you have to. There is an extra 1000 pounds in the gooseneck at least. Stick with a 20ft utility trailer, much lighter, then put one more atv in your back end.
@Warrior Woodshop would a 2022 f150 with a 6.5ft bed be able to pull this without having to narrow the front? Looking at a 5th camper to do the same thing to. Thanks
Not this particular one. it only has a 6" frame. I wouldn't hesitate to load a car or utvs, or utility tractor. Equipment such as skid loaders, etc would need an 8-12" frame. Several of the 5th wheel frames are doubled up to make 12" thick which allows them to get over the axles. This trailer had to have riser blocks to get it above the axle.
I would be comfortable putting compact tractors, but not skid loaders. It will haul 10k gross, but not concentrated like a skid loader would be, but bails of hay spread out, that should be ok
It is if it has an I-beam frame. I built one from a 5th wheel camper that had a 10 inch I-beam frame. I've been hauling an 8,000lbs tractor and a couple pieces of equipment on it for about 18 years. Mine is the same dimensions as this one. 20ft flat deck plus a 4ft dove tail.
If it's not too personal, could I ask how much you paid for this frame? I have one I need to sell, my daughter's husband had it and he has passed away and we want to sell it but don't know how much to ask for it. Thanks so much Judy
This was before the metal prices went up. I paid $600 for the frame, he was asking a $1000. He countered with 800, I said 600 is best or I'm on my way home. He wanted it gone. However the big thing was is that it had a title. No title, most states are really skeptical due to stolen trailer getting called "homemade". IN missouri, you have to show receipts and sometimes photos to prove you built it. Finally, I expected to have $1500 in it, so a $2500 trailer, ended up with bad hubs, tires, etc, and it cost almost $3000 to fix it up with lumber prices. The deck alone was almost $1000. With all that being said, I still wouldn't offer or even look for more than $750. Yeah prices are higher, but so is everything else and I would rather buy an actual utility flatbed for $5k then do all the work to a converted camper for $3500 in costs.
@@WarriorWoodshop I think your input was really on point for your situation. My only input, in oregon, u can find 5thwheels for free. But if I were to purchase today, 600 is very fare

Nice trailer, any updates? I have a similar trailer from a 69’ 5th wheel, looking to weld up some sturdy structure to beef it up.
how did your trailer turn out?
Would a f150 5.4 short box pull this well ? Have trans cooler etc etc .

Kinda a bummer as it does indeed have the short box crew cab . It’s got electronic brake controller etc etc

Got one i want to turn into a car trailer

Is a camper frame like this strong enough to be used as an equipment trailer? I have a farm and need a trailer for hauling tractors and such.
