First Toy Hauler looking for informed input
Well here is the situation. Getting ready to retire. Currently own a 99 F550 with a 7.3 and 4.88 rearend. 11 foot TC and 20 foot open trailer. This set up has served me well for a number of years....

You can order these with added height and heavier weight ratings. I have seen many 40' goosenecks pass through a lot of owners due to the length. You may want think about where you want take this combination and whether you will fit.
Agreed on weight, I owned a 37 race trailer years ago. Fine for taking to the track but a bit Spartan for retirement travel. The work and play in the 42 ft range seemed to be a bit nicer.
Just to be clear not thinking of a standard toy hauler but the Work and play should do the trick. I need a 16 to 17 foot garage Min for the Lightning. Hauling the Bronco length is no issue and when just the Rhino really no problem.
Thanks for the Carson, Millennium, Feather Lite, InTech,suggestion. I'll do a little research on them. A site called racingjunk.com has a number of race trailers with living qtrs. listed.
I hear ya on the 40ft and over trailers passing through a number of owners. My 37 footer was great when going across country to race and spending a week or more but was a PITA to load and haul for a night of racing.
Now that I'm going to be retired I see mostly week or more trips to the mountain's to play with either the Rhino or Bronco or cross country trips.
thanks again.
