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. The nice thing about that is I have 20 feet of deck the camper will take up 10 feet and the pair of golf carts take up 8 feet of deck space, leaving me 2 feet to put right in between the camper and carts to get in and out with the trailer loaded.Re: Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy haulerSo my decision is to slide my axles on the trailer forward to reduce tongue weight.Re: Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy hauler burningman wrote: I measured mine just out of curiosity and my swing-out dually brackets aren't enough to clear my flatbed trailer. I'm not saying you can't do it - I have set campers on car trailers before myself - but it took a bit of creativity to get it on there. I've done it by making an extra-wide steel brace that bolted across the front of the camper and held the jacks way out, then removed them, and I've done it with a boom truck crane. I've thought about rolling one on steel fence piles. I have a forklift and front end loaders I can use to put it on the trailer so that's not a concern.Re: Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy hauler horton333 wrote: kregernick wrote: 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? Wouldn't it be easier to put the camper in the bed likes it's designed for and tow an open trailer, is it a weight issue? There are also trailers that have a large open section at the front for toys and then a trailer behind like this that would do the same(but I'm guessing you already have a unit you want to use?) LIke this. I've got a 9 1/2 foot TC and a crew cab 2500hd with the 6 1/2 foot box. Not real friendly to be pulling a trailer behind with the camper in the box. I have a 7000 lbs 22 foot flat deck trailer that I plan on turning into a camper/toy hauler so I can still fit my 2 golf carts on the trailer.Re: Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy haulerI've looked through those pictures on google before. Most people set the camper back on the trailer. The closest to what I'm planning on doing I've only seen in the pictures with the avalanche.Truck camper on bumper pull trailer for toy haulerDoes anyone have any experience mounting a slide in camper to the front of a bumper pull trailer to have open deck space for toys?Skamper 950 truck camper manual/ electrical helpI just picked up a skamper 950 camper I believe it's a 1990.
