I have heard the desert fox are well built. I’m more worried about the mud on the quads making a mess
We had a open rear toyhauler before, put a good tarp down for anything that falls off, run the quads out and drag the tarp out and knock it off

The fuel station out of anything made it smell, only when adding fuel mind you

I run the 5ver and quad trailer behind. I find the convenience of the 2 trailers easy to manage, leaving home, setting up and venturing out. In many areas we go, we camp at base camp and will drive to staging areas. I works for me in my situation, the trailer is winter and summer use. I can't ever see myself loading a sled on a deck.
A friend of mine has a toyhauler bumper pull. His Rhino rides in it. One trip to Nordegg last summer he almost left it there. It was so dusty inside! The doors just don't seal up really well I guess.

Tell him to seal all the holes where the water lines and stuff come through the floor. Mine was really dusty and thought it was the rear door, it wasn’t it was all the other holes. 2”” hole for a 1/2”” water line to go through now time that by ten or more adds up. After a few tubes of silicone it’s all good now.

Curious to what the best options would be with a open living quarters with muddy quads? I’m sure a tarp would help.

I been packing a small pump and giving it a quick wash. And it’s not really to big of a deal, but I try not to ride the day I go home so the mud isn’t fresh.

Heavy tarp then drive quads on that, really not a big deal. Biggest is thing don’t fill the fuel tanks 100% full, just in case it gets hot in there and agitated so you would smell gas

Any body have experience towing a v nose camper with a Sled deck extended out the full width? Curious if the V front would help? Seems like the normal style has a longer tongue then the v campers I have looked at online?

Way less room with a v style trailer

Turning room. The trailer is close to the truck. My v nose trailer the front of the v is only 6” from the tailgate when it’s down.

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 ?

I would think they are. It’s the manufactures way of getting a bit more room. You might be able to get a few more inches of room depending on what hitch you get. Some might stick out farther then others.

This is my trailer lay out. Depending on the deck you have and how far it hangs over the box and hitch you can still turn good.

Ya that is true with the hitches sticking out farther then some. My box is the 6.6 box and the deck is 7’ so hangs about 4”. What make and model is that trailer?

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?

I did that for years it was fine. Quick wash before loading
