Is there a good way to transport a golf cart with a 5er?

I got my Swivel Wheel used and saved half the price of new. Check craigslist nationwide at Searchtempest.com.

Okay...the Idaho Tote is pretty cool and all...but it's over $7,000?! Seriously?! It's not THAT cool!

Give the Swivel Wheel a look. Pretty unique but pricey.

do an add on reciever to the rear of the f'ver and a platform that tilts. I saw this with a motorhome several years back, A father son team would travel the countryside striping high school tracks and had this setup and carried a golf cart for transpotaqtion when they got to a school. Yes you will need to go toa welding shop and have everything mounted but i just remember their setup.

I saw a truck parked at a RV show that had a heavy duty rack over the cab of the truck. It sure looked like it was designed for carrying a golf cart or other toy. You have to have some HUGE CAJONES to drive it up there - no matter how long the ramps!

a year or so ago there was a post about a small golf cart that sort of collapsed like a swiss army knife and could be carried in a standard receiver. both gas or electric.

This this subject is a royal P.I.T.A. to me as I want to bring my cart as well. Firstly for full-timing a toy hauler wouldn't work for me,i feel you give up too much in the way they have to layout the interior to allow for the garage and the ones iv'e seen so far just don't look like a home. For a couple of years now iv'e toyed with the idea of building a swivel-wheel deck to hang off my fiver(iv'e even bought all the parts and steel to build it) but after a blow-out last spring the idea of those two small tires on the highway at 60+ MPH has turned me off the idea,anyone need any trailer parts,lol? On the way home this spring while parked at the Flying J another fiver-driver pulled up alongside towing his cart in a Home Depot utility trailer that came with a ramp and I asked him if he had any problems towing it and he said he's been double-towing from Michigan to Florida for going onto fifteen years without a problem and even though double towing is illegal in Georgia and Florida the fuzz have not bothered him about it,as far as fuelling I always use the truck fuelling station so getting in and out isn't an issue. All this aside we decided to just but a cart down there this fall and leave it.

Recreational doubles are ok. I've done that, but a toyhauler is the ultimate way to go. I realize it has a high up front cost, but it simplifies things alot - including backing up and lack of parking area on sites.

As far as fitting a family goes, it doesn't get better. I have three little kids, a 80lb Lab, and they all absolutely love this thing. Versatile is right. Most people don't realize it's a garage, a bunkhouse, and a high end trailer combined (depending on model). I take my parents & my brother's family a couple weekends a year, and we can sleep 10 of us in real queen size beds comfortably. It doesn't get much better than that.

I've towed tandem for over 10 years now. If your state allows it, it is a good way to go. With a little utility trailer and a golf cart you would be unlikey to know that it is even back there. The main challenge is finding a place to fuel up, but if you are on the interstates you can find a truck stop with RV pumps (or use the big rig area if you are a diesel). I have a 60 gallon aux tank, so I never ahve to worry about filling when I am towing.

Rent one. I know the rates are high. But in the whole scheme of things, it is a lot cheaper in the long run. Avoid the initial purchase price. Avoid the cost to transport it. Avoid the maintenance. Avoid the hassle of loading and unloading. Something breaks...take it back. They won't let your kids, use it. But some think that is not a bad thing.
