We're closing a deal on a Class A this week and I'm going to need a trailer of some kind for the SS. I have an 18 ft flatbed that's just toooooo tall. I tried different things to get the SS on the trailer but it's just not going to happen. If anyone knows about a trailer for sale that will work with the SS, let me know. I don't check this forum a lot so drfubar@bellsouth.net is my email. Let me know... thanks.
Looking for trailer
-

Just sold mine (8.5x24 V Nose Cargo Trailer) a couple weeks ago. They generally have low enough ramps to get the SS in easily.
Have you looked at the car hauler specific flatbed trailers (not a pipe trailer)? I've noted that those generally are pretty low as well as they have a duck tail at the back that is a little lower. You have have the separate ramps switched out for a tail gate (expanded metal). I also saw one somewhere where they had made a hinged tail gate ramp that folded down pretty low for traveling.

thanks, still looking.

I've been contemplating a class A but would go for a toy hauler version. I don't need a big bedroom and bath. So I'm willing to sacrifice. Hauling a trailer is not fun especially when trying to back up. Had a class a in the 90s 34' looking for smaller if I ever make the leap again.

31 ft.... I've never had a problem backing trailers up. I'm just having a problem finding one... LOL

Let me know when you find one with a 13' garage that will fit the SS. I've been looking but haven't found one yet. Most of them are about 10' garages.
-
yep, that's an issue
-
A 12 ft garage works if u only have 3 wheels. The rear sits into the center of the living space. My issue is 4 wheels and even longer wheelbase.

Saw a guy loading his ss on a trailer. Stopped by to chat. It's an alumalite he had them modify to hold the ramps etc.. Really nice but only has about an inch on each side of the tires.

Yeah, that's about what I had in my 8.5 wide Cargo Trailer. That's about the widest you can get.

Yep and that’s why I also have a winch in mine. I pull it in and don’t hit the tire and keep it straight. I also have the E trac for tie down on tires, not frame. Love that stuff.

All trailers need a wench…

I had remeq snowmobile trailer. Loved the trailer. I would try to find one that fit the ss.

Just a matter of $$$$.$$

I have a 2019 Vortex 2715v - that has a 15ft garage in it. I know the sling will fit, just a matter of getting it in there. I priced out race ramps and I was 70% towards the cost of a sling specific trailer so went that route. One of our sling friends has a toy hauler as well and hoping to split the cost of those ramps with him one day!

Yeah, the problem with almost all of the "Toy Hauler Trailers" is the deck height to ground - ie the ramp angle. I measured it out and used a ramp calculator online and found out you would need a 14' ramp to clear the top and bottom angles to get a SS into these toy haulers.
That's why I have been looking at the motorhomes instead. I've found some with smaller garages that also have a flat lift attached to the back, ie like a Nascar race car trailer. I even found a Renegade RV that someone had customized with a 20' garage built on a Freightliner chassis. But 1) It was pretty much all garage - bare bones sleeping or other arrangements, and 2) It was already sold.
There used to be a couple brands: "Work and Play" and "LRV" that did trailers meant for the Harley crowd - low to the ground. But LRV got shut down and Work-N-Play went to the standard high deck height. -
It’s all about innovation…
-
Yup, that's my issue around 14' of ramps and three of them was like $1700 bucks I think it was, then storing them with the sling and the weight of them.... easier to see why buying a separate trailer won out!
-
A few people I know use the "Race Ramps" along with the fold down ramp from some trailers. They are nice and light and you can store them in the trailer under the SS or on a wall. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Had this delivered this morning. Good to go now.
