    I think you will find what you need in that topic/forum

    Wow, thats a great idea. I am surprised some manufacture has not started producing these yet.
  • Do a google search for a show called "Extreme 4X4". About a year ago they did this on a series of episodes. They built their own trailer and mounted a pop-up body on the raised portion. They even made theirs modular so you could remove the pop-up portion by taking out 4 pins. I think you can purchase previous episodes on DVD.

    Here is the link to the episode: www.powerblocktv.com/episodes/XT2006-19
  • not as long as you were talking I think but the same idea.
    24foot car hauler trailer, 11 foot pickup camper with framed in underside and doors for storage. 13 feet of open deck for toys.
    I fit two wheelers, the generator and a large cooler and could still open the door to the camper.
    when you park and offload the toys you have a nice raised wood deck to set up your camp chairs!


  • Attitude makes a couple toy haulers with 10' garages. They have options in the brochure for an additional 2, 4 or 6 feet added to the garage. That makes for up to 16'. We looked at one last year, but 16' wasn't necessary for us.
