Trailer for a TC as a stopgap until getting a one ton?

Is there such thing as a trailer for a TC? I'm looking to eventually buy a Ford F-350. However, until then, I wonder if I can buy the TC I want, put it on a trailer, and use it as a TT until I am able to get something that can carry the TC.

Has anyone done such a thing? Even though 4000 pounds will crush a half-ton truck if plopped on the bed, even adding a ton for the trailer is still within tow capacity.

  • I see them quite often on either a pickup bed made into a trailer or a flatbed trailer.My neighbor has an Arctic Fox that he mounts on a long flatbed trailer then he loads his UTV's behind that.When he takes the UTV's off,he has a nice deck behind the TC.Kinda neat setup..

    A guy can buy a used pickup camper much cheaper around here than a small travel trailer, and pickup bed trailers are a dime a dozen..But one would need a heavy duty trailer to haul a TC on same as choosing a pickup.The 3/4 and 1 ton pickup bed trailers are hard to find.
  • Yes, you can trailer a tc, but it needs a stout trailer. The question is why though. You probably can buy a travel trailer for less.
  • I’m in the Calif Desert right now, and so far I have seen two of what .your describing. Both on duel axel trailers that are long enough that they also have their Side X Sides loaded on the back of the same trailer, so yes people do it.
    Not sure how they load the camper on the trailer..... but there is such a combo out in the world.
