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

What? Three pages already and no weight police telling him a golf cart will put him over his GCVWR which will result in his death and everyone else within a hundred mile radius?

I tried to talk her into a toy hauler and I know it's all relative, but she just wouldn't go for it... too 'utilitarian' for her.

besides, I'm glad I haven't resolved the golf cart issue yet, she now wants a redwood 38gk :E

no matter that we would lose $10k+ on our 1 year old 5er :(

Exactly what my wife said too. We looked at many toyhaulers and they were most designed for families, not couples. After I researched platforms to haul our Goldwing, it opened up conventional 5th wheels for consideration.

Don't misunderstand my post,toy haulers don't work for ME,i'm not saying their junk,actually the KZ with the bar and keg fridge/tap looked pretty cool but for us who full-time the garage still looks like a garage,you can put a lace teddy on a pig,it'll be a better looking pig but in the end it's still a pig! The point that more and more rv parks aren't allowing transients to bring in their golf carts is a very good point to bring up and I think its growing trend.

Wow. Mine looks as nice as the rest of the coach really. Warm color walls. Walnut colored cabinets. 27" Flat screen tv. I bought the wall paper border that matches. Wife made chocolate colored curtains for in there. Rolled down carpet that matched the coach. Hidden mini fridge, and...it's pretty much the same interior...just a different room. Guess it's all in how you do it I suppose. To each his own right?

I pull mine behind the 5er on a 6X12 trailer.

keep in mind many parks do not allow transients to use golf carts

Move to a toyhauler or pull doubles. About your only options...

You omitted - - an HDT..:W

Lots of the HDT folks carry a "side loaded" Smart Car on the deck behind the cab (and tow "standard" 5th wheels).
A few carry golf carts the same way. (load, un-load either while hitched)

Pics can be found on the Escapees HDT forum.

"Randy A" carries a golf cart the same way - and can be found on here as "Professor95" - usually in the Tech forum.

If you call up his profile, there's a pic of his rig (before it was singled).

I towed a SmartTrailer for a few years to carry our bikes on. It worked great with no backing issues. We've had many more problems with our 5th wheel tires than we did with the little tires on the tag-along. :)

In the long run it probably is cheaper to rent a golf cart. :)
