Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy hauler
Does anyone have any experience mounting a slide in camper to the front of a bumper pull trailer to have open deck space for toys?

So my decision is to slide my axles on the trailer forward to reduce tongue weight.
Now that's some smart, not-afraid-to-make-stuff thinking!
When I had a camper on a bumper pull car trailer it was over the axles because the guys are right, too much tongue weight for a bumper pull otherwise.
I did it because I needed to carry a camper 1500 miles with an '80s 1/2-ton Chevy with a Caddy 500 motor. It had no problem PULLING it, it just couldn't CARRY it.
One bummer about the "redneck toy hauler" if you have deck space at the rear you'll be carrying anything on is you need to be able to get the door open.
