That’s pretty much the same trailer as I got for sale. Just the tv is in a different place. It’s a boogie box. You get my pm?

No I didn’t get the PM? And I was looking for something a little smaller to pull easily and get into remote places with out dragging bottom

If it wasn’t for the amount they cost I would buy one in a heart beat
Doesn't have to be a pusher....I've had 3 gasser class A's....still cheaper than a diesel 3/4 ton and a trailer with the equivalent features.

Are all the v nose that close to the truck? Wonder if having the sides angled back would offset the tongue being closer and letting a guy turn sharper ?

My deck kissed my v nose inclosed this year and the v starts really far back. I can put the tail gate down with lots of room before the jack, then another 14 inches behind the jack before the v. 8’ deck on 8’ box. Sides were not extended. Don’t really know when it happened. But I have lots of room with our holiday trailer that rounds over like the pic Tex posted.

How’s those big class A’s for getting to the random camping spots? Been keeping an eye on class C’s but rare to find a decent priced one with our amenities...

I found the class A's are actually a bit taller than the C's, F35 chassis vs a E350 chassis....but your days of mud bogging into a wet spot are done for sure. We hit a few spots near Caroline and a couple of spots out by Southfork, but no "Neufie Creek" camping for my rig.

Any body have experience with the open garage toy haulers ?

I don’t own one but had seriously considered it. The 2 main drawn backs for me are.

1. Tongue weight is heavier because your quads are up front on the open deck. I prefer to have more weight over the axels.

2. You lose so much interior space in the trailer since you don’t have a garage anymore.

Also it becomes a one purpose toy hauler trailer which usually is fine for me. But when you travel without quads you have a huge open wasted space on the deck.

My 2 cents

So by the sounds of it a trailer that is angled back is better then a V nose style one ?

Yes, think about where the deck and truck pivots on the ball and angle when turning

The more hitch gap and slant the more room

With a deck! I have a nice hole in my v nose and my deck is even with my back bumper.

I have a few things I hate about my deck, but that’s a different topic.
