Sell my house, quit my job and travel the country doing autox's.
'Course I'll need a truck to haul it with.

That looks pretty cool, my only question is, the thing is designed to haul toys, not a car, is it long enough to fit a 914 on? That would be the queston I would be asking. I would also bet that it will go for around 20k or so.

Posted by: ! May 9 2005, 09:44 AM

Nah....I'm seeing the enclosed ones go for like 12 to 15K....I emailed the seller to see what the bed is rated for. I believe the ebay one retails for like 8K....

I'd like to get my kids into Go Karts and Willow has a nice track...only two hours from home and Granny lives 20 minutes away....

That looks a bit small for a 914, but maybe.

Where would you put the Go Karts if you used the toy hauler for the 914?

Posted by: ! May 9 2005, 10:17 AM

Weld a deck above and throw the Karts up there....

Make them drive the Go Karts to Willow while you tow the 914.

Karts will outrun and out corner the Teener....buy 4 karts....You need what they used to call the Super America Kart.....125 MPH....lap times at Riverside were equal to the CanAm cars.

Dan: Nice Trailer. I used to go to Glamis every other week with Inland Empier Off Road Ass.
Mike: I'm am currently looking at 26 or 28 foot enclosed trailers.
I think I can get 2 in and give me 2 more covered parking spaces and take 2 cars with me.
Pull it behind the coach.

i've got a 1996 28ft weekend warrior that i haul my jeep in when i go wheelin.

there great everything is secure while traveling. and lots of room.

the newer ones have longer ramps, and you can always build support stands to hold the ramp up to a shallower angle with motor cycle ramps to that.

count on useing at least a 3/4 ton truck for a tow rig. fully loaded trailer, jeep, tools, compressor, water, and what ever, i'm at about 10,000lbs of trailer weight .

but i love it. can't beat it.

Geeez, worse than buying a boat on the lake in the middle of summer with a high water table. Them there toyboxes be espensive Looosey.

Looking at a 20 foot enclosed trailer with batteries, tire racks, dome light...yada yada....trying to snag it for $4500. Anyone live near Temecula CA and wanna go scope it out for me?

Figure it's worth a 12 pack of suds at least....

Geez mike, are you gonna turn frank into a trailer queen?

Posted by: ! May 10 2005, 12:46 PM

No Butthead.....

I want to take Manfred up to my Mom in Law's house in Lancaster, drop IT and the trailer there....free storage 1/2 hour from the track....

Z,
I just saw a toy hauler for sale on HWY 18 going up to Big Bear. Looks like your 914 would fit in it.
Will try to get the phone# and a photo the next time I go up, if you are interested.

Mike: Carson makes a 20 for about 4K, as soon as you go over 24' they go up in price. I'm looking for a Sport Trailer, made in San Bernardino. I think for what I want thay are the best. I'm looking to spend around 8K. You should be able to find a really nice trailer for 4K.
