Invention award of the month.

Saw this in Orange Grove RV in Bakersfield this morning on our walk. Chris





  • Wouldn't a little longer trailer easily solve the issue without that complicated set up?
  • Top heavy? Just a little. Lots of dumb Californians, kerrlake.
  • And to think of how many folks in Cali laugh at us in the south for being redneck. This ranks right up there.
  • Well,
    Everyone's got to do things the way they are happy with, when it comes to this sort of thing. I however, would have opted for just a tad longer trailer and, loaded that thing on normally. The trailer can be built JUST long enough to get the rear tires on the flat and level and that's it. A small, raised rack could be constructed above the front wheels that would hold all the paraphernalia he's got "under" his present setup. The ramps that would be used to drive up on to the trailer, are then stored under the bed of the trailer, as they are in many cases. It would be a whole lot safer and considerably easier to load than the way he/she is doing it now.

    But, apparently, it works for him/her/them. Good luck is all I can say.

    On edit:
    After reading John Waynes comment, I re-looked at the picture(s). If I'm not mistaken, that's one of those that is not considered A TRAILER. It's considered an extension of the coach. If it's not considered a trailer, then the legality of towing a toad behind it is potentially legal. They use these same type systems for hauling larger motorcycles or trikes, when they want to tow a toad too.

  • Think he hooks the toad to the back of the trailer and stays under 65 feet

    How do they load and unload that?? :h


    VERY carefully!

    It obviously works for them, but I would get a larger trailer.
  • Scary set up........

    Necessity IS the Mother of invention

    Not always a good idea or improvement.





    What , no oranges??

    Agree. Seems it might be a little unbalanced with a lot of weight one side.
