Big Toy, Toy Haulers???

Whats up guys? Im new here and looking for some information. Me and the gf are looking to make a big decision in the next year or so to buy a brand new hauler. I already have a tow rig i wont be getting rid of anytime soon. 1997 Mack CH600 with a 400+ hp E7 Mack motor that only hay 150k on a full in frame rebuild, all rebuilt front end and brand new tires all around. What we are looking for is something i can haul my crawler in or any future crawlers. Its 94" wide and has a wheel base of 123" on 44" tires so even 14 foot is cutting it close. Plus it weights 5300 pounds. Then add to that 4 8gal propane tanks, 2 sets of axle shafts, a couple driveshafts, another transfer case, another tire, 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid, 5 gallons of oil and some other miscellaneous parts for spares. Then we still have to add all of our camping stuff to that lol. We currently haul 2 rigs on out trailer now but she just got a new Samurai that will be hauled on the back of the semi like a smart car. I know that there are race trailers out there that will suit our needs but are entirely to pricey. I could resort to building a new set up like we have now but the insurance is in a grey area and we dont want that. Who out there is hauling similar things and what are you hauling it in? I also should note i REALLY want a door between the LQ and the garage because of the smell. When we yard sale it (break it bad) it can really start to leak and stink like gear lube BAD. I posted some pics of our current set up for everyone bellow.


and one of the rig that has to go in our future TH


Mod Edit: As previously mentioned please do not post photos wider then 800 pixels as it skews the forum. Details are in the photo thread, that you previously posted to. Thanks.

Work & Play would seem to be your best bet but like the idea of a 5th wheel on that setup you already have. Getting your crawler into a factory built TH is going to be a tough one......

Welcome to the forum. You have a unique rig but, it works for you. That's all that matters.

We see some on the forum with not enough truck for what they're pulling.
You definitely don't have that problem. Your TV is a beast. I like it. 🙂

Enjoy your travels.

Problem with that is you have to sit them up real high because the neck of a gooseneck is taller then the step up of the 5er. For what i paid for this camper i could not pass it up.

I was looking as sort of the same thing, but my thought was to use a small 5th wheel - might as well make use of that extra space up over the goose neck.

Well, no disrespect intended, that's the most humorous rig I've seen..bar none. Small campsites any issue? LOL Is that a 6 foot climb to the "trailer?" LOL
