Because of how the Harley is positioned, the tongue weight does not exceed 300 lbs. Note my profile picture.

Hi Bob,
More pics/info !!!! Is it the 6' or 8' model ?
Side loading ?

Does it articulate up and down AND allow twists of the tote?

Allows wondered how much they can articulate for cases like cresting a RR track or crossing big dip at an angle....

Thanks in advance !
would you happen to be in the DFW area ?
if I could see your setup, that would be great !

Caribe77,

Did you have your rig up for sale not too long ago? I remember one for sale on here with the Tote.

John Boy,


I have the 6 foot tote that I load from the side on the LoadAll ramp. We had to have the 6 foot model to stay under 65' total length. The tote articulates fine and has not caused any issues going over railroad tracks. I do have to be aware of severe dips because I have a storage box. mounted under the front end of the Tote and do not want it to drag.


I am in Denton, but the rig is at Explore in Boerne until next week getting its annual inspection. I will be at Destiny RV in Denton most of February. When I get settled I will shoot you an email. Feel free to come by and take a look.

Super - Thanks and stay dry this week

Atom Ant,


We did not have our rig up for sale. Coincidentally though, a new extended work contract may dictate us coming off full timing so we are accessing our options on the rig.

FWIW, the DRV rigs have an option for a lift if ordered from the factory. At least they did prior to them being bought a few weeks ago.

Hmmm, given that, and the Carriage shown on the lift in my earlier post, I wonder if the lifts require the box frame that both those units have. Would require a call to see if the lift would work on the I-beam.

I just had a chance to measure mine I am at 57 ft with the crew cab standard box
You could add 2 more feet to that

Her magazines and a bottle of chardonnay and she really world's care

Bob
Is that the 6 ft tote
How much does it weigh empty
Do you have electric brakes on it or some of the available acsessaries?

Thanks Shane. If I hooked my trailer on the rear of it, that would put me at 77ft. I think that might be asking for a ticket. If I decide to pull a second trailer, I'm going to have to buy a smaller utility trailer.

Ya same as me I have a perfectly good 14 ft overall length trailer that will put me over as well
The only thing I can do is go to a 6 ft tote for the bike.
There is new horizon that has a 5 ft garage with a door and ramp on each side that looks good but I am happy with what I have and can't see spending 180000.00 for that 5 ft luxury

I've thought about having a NH custom made with a garage. Ginny and I are going to do some quilting together when we retire and that garage space could be turned into a great quilting room once the bikes are removed. It could also serve as a guest room for the grand kids.

Is Quilting like spooning
The problem with that large a 5th wheel is finding a spot to park it with the TV and another vehicle.
Most of the Parks in the country were built when a 25 ft trailer was huge
