I would consider the flat trailer to haul my dirt bike and jeep wrangler but then what do you do with the trailer once at camp site? Most CA parks I'm finding only allow 35' or less (my excursion I'm buying is 33'). Plus some only allow RV and one car... but now you'd have trailer to deal with too.
Trying to figure out the most efficient and easiest way to take RV, Jeep Wrangler 4 door, and Yamaha TW200 dirt bike (only 300lbs)
Are you getting the Excursion from Holland motorhome in SM? If so, it's a nice coach ;)
I have a 8.5 x 20' Carson flat trailer, but it's not long enough to fit both my RZR XP900 and my JKUR. Additionally, the weight of the trailer alone is around 1500 lbs empty. :(
There are many RV parks that offer pull-through sites that are 60' or longer. Additionally, there are also RV parks that have over flow parking lots, but you will obviously have to disconnect and 'drop' the trailer. With a little bit of planning and research, using a trailer is possible but not as convenient as flat towing.
I love the 2013 Excursion. It's perfect for my needs and not too big, yet has everything.
I think as a first time RV owner, I want to keep the logistical issues to a minimum. I'm already a little concerned with flat towing the jeep and having to disconnect before back-in sites or smaller spaces, etc. Plus I don't want to further limit the parks we can visit. I know many parks up the coast only allow 35' and have limited space.
I think I found a good option with a dirt bike hitch hauler with pass-thru hitch to also flat tow jeep. Probably my best bet for now until I think a full trailer makes sense. Luckily my dirt bike and jeep are used to dirt/mud so I'm not as concerned with road grime/rain etc for now.
