Yes and no, was saying (not complaining) that time in my industry is pretty hard. Also said in the same post that I was fortunate to not be affected by it being in the R&D department and working hard at improving our boats.....

Here it is. Really small and modest trailer with living space. It's an 18 foot R-Vision Packer. I think it's one of the smallest, well though little trailer I've seen. Everything is there but noting is fancy.

Single axle and 2200 pound empty, rated for 3500 pound. Perfect for my need and still really easy to tow around. The bed folds down up front, making the thing quite bigger. A/C and heat, shower and toilet, hot water..... mmmmmmmmm can't wait to go racing in May and have a good night of sleep

Here's some pics I just took.

Looks nice, but it does not look 18' in the pics. Nice trailer though.


What is that white stuff on the ground?

Sweet.

So since the back opens right up, can you move things around to fit a bike back there?

Nice I suggest you also investigate a shell for your truck That way you can move some storage weight to the truck and keep it light and easy on the axle. I considered one like that but in Alabama it is considered a recreational vehicle and plates go up ten fold compared to my utility trailer

Yep, you just fold the 2 "couch" up and voila. Plenty of room for up to 2 bikes, weight would be an issue though. For one bike with gear it's a nice set-up

Will definitely put a cover on the truck so I can store the gen, compressor and fuel back there.

I'm telling you, I've been looking for a bigger trailer or a toy hauler for a while and this one is PERFECT for my needs. The guy was trying to sell it for over a year. I was really lucky to see his add as it was in a really crappy local magazine that I usually never read.

I sold the other trailer over a month ago. I was quite sure I'd find a deal before spring, if not I was going to get a new one.

That is really sweet JBD and you have an awning so maybe you won't need to set up the EasyUp. All you need now is a premium sound system, a tv, whirlpool and microwave and you are good as gold!

Trey cool!

Congrats on the purchase. Nice looking rig. Is the "Weight issue" your way of telling me I need to drop a few pounds? hahaha

Can't wait to see it in person.

Nice find!!!! I sometimes toy with the idea of getting something like that so I can just stay at the track and bring the dog with me.

Nice diggs. Don't forget that you'll 'need' a satellite dish. Gotta be able to watch the races when you're not at home.

I dropped all of my bikes last year... mostly in the garage...

I'm sure the motard will fit somewhere...
