We were kind of in the same boat. The toy haulers didn't have the layout or feel of the traditional travel trailer, but it would be real nice to drive the cart in and tow everything in one hit.
@@2199031 Joe check out Grand Design momentum toy hauler its a travel trailer toy hauler i have one and love it my garage area Actually turned into a private bedroom for my girls the top bunk.

James they all are not ugly in my opinion look at Grand Design momentum toy hauler floor plans you can get it in a 5th wheel and a travel trailer i got the momentum 29g we love it
Hey how’s it going? So was curious of the dry weight of your camper is. I have a 2015 2500hd I am pulling it with. But I do have bigger tires. And about to try to start pulling my camper with my golf cart on the bed of the truck. My camper is about 8350lbs dry weight. And was wondering how close you are to your max weight
Our camper loaded (no water) weight is 9,600# on the scale as it sits. 2016 Keystone Sprinter 316BIK (if you want to google the specs) You need to get it on a scale before you try to figure anything else. Sticker dry weight is not accurate. My gasser does struggle sometimes because it just doesn’t have enough torque like the diesels do. We don’t pull more than about 1.5hr from home anyway so I’m not worried about it. If you plan on long trips or keeping your load near max, maybe consider a diesel. I’m pretty sure we are technically over our total CGVWR with a golf cart in the bed. I also have bigger tires 275/65/20.
@@2199031 yeah I have a diesel. Yeah I have a keystone outback 325bh. Power wise I am good, motor isn’t stock. Just think I am still over the payload weight. I am running 35x12.5r20 with a zone 5” lift set at about 4”. I have had my truck on the scale it is about 8k. But could shed some weight taking the tool box off to fit the golf cart. And brush guard off. And maybe going down In tire size some.
Actually I can't. Because of the roll up tonneau cover and the brush guard on my cart, I can't pull in enough to get the rear cart wheels off the tailgate. If you had no cover and no brush guard, a regular golf cart would be able to go in a 6.5' long bed far enough to tilt the tailgate up 1/2 way and out of the way of the trailer tongue jack.
No it shouldn't if so go back to the dealer and tell them they didn't tighten some up and what I did with the window flipped it down and wrap a Bungee cord or strap around it
No, I haven't used the ebrake since I got the truck because they are known to drag or not release if they haven't been used regularly. This summer I'll have the brakes apart to swap pads, clean, and inspect to make sure everything is working properly before our cross country camper towing trip.
th-cam.com/video/NsqASqp3Ias/w-d-xo.html Another link for you. My beds are both 6.5ft too. The golf cart video I sent is my 1500 ram and my side by side video is my 2500. Same bed size..
Very cool! But with one of our compact Cricket Carts, you could go up that ramp AND close the truck bed!
Sweet heavy Chevy , I need a 2500
Where u putting the ramps ???
Did you remove the tailgate after loading the cart? Have you tried loading the cart without the tailgate attached?
Hey can you put a link to the ramps
This is why i am looking for a toy hauler . It just the toy haulers look so ugly inside.

Thanks for the video. I assume you are able to tow your camper with the tailgate down and it doesn't make contact with the tongue jack?
Actually I can't. Because of the roll up tonneau cover and the brush guard on my cart, I can't pull in enough to get the rear cart wheels off the tailgate.

How long is your golf cart?
Joe,
Just got a gulf cart. At highway speeds will the roof and windshield of the golf cart blowoff?
No it shouldn't if so go back to the dealer and tell them they didn't tighten some up and what I did with the window flipped it down and wrap a Bungee cord or strap around it
Agree, flip the windshield down. Everything else should be fine. Sometimes people loose their seats so maybe want to tie it down.
@@2199031 yeah I forgot about the seats I use to put Ratchet strap across it up under the handles
Was your Ebrake engaged on your truck?
No, I haven't used the ebrake since I got the truck because they are known to drag or not release if they haven't been used regularly. This summer I'll have the brakes apart to swap pads, clean, and inspect to make sure everything is working properly before our cross country camper towing trip.
What brand ramps are these?
7'-9" trifold black widow ramp at discountramps.com Link is in the description
What size bed is that?
I mention it a couple times in the vid and it's posted above, 6.5' bed.
Wow you need to take the tailgate off put the ramp on the bed of the truck that tailgate could crumble
The chevy tailgates aren't known for buckling like other brands. I knew the risk when I did it.
Yeah I've seen a lot of people put those ramps on tailgates and a lot don't have problems I'm just an overly cautious person
