Hauling a small car on a tandem axel atv/snowmobile trailer?

[crooklyn]

Ok, dumb question but the trailer is 18ft with two 2000lb axels.

not worth the effort with 4000lbs capacity without the weight of the trailer itself, dont do it

Kinda sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. Even if the axles survive it, the decking and cross members probably won't.

 

[crooklyn]

didnt' think so.
was just the cheapness in me

would a 14ft car hauler handle 2 quads or 2 sxs loaded horizontally?

The ol Lady wants a "Toad" (towed vehicle) for behind our motorhome and I was looking at doing the same thing....I figured a Smart car would fit in my little sled trailer and still be under the weight of two loaded up sleds.

I think the SXS's might to long to side load. I have a 14ft PJ's with 3500 axles in it so it is good for 5000lbs of cargo. I put a puddle jumper on it coming back from Calgary and it was fine. I can fit three quads on sideways or two length wise. SXS has to be load length wise as mine is only 7ft wide.

Smart car is 1600 lbs....my little trailer has brakes and is rated to haul 3000lbs....

I wasn't doubting the trailer would handle it, just that it weighed the same as two sleds. Yammy's are close to 800lbs a piece arent they?

In the end, you would be stuck driving a smart car at your destination.

Is that something you can live with??!?!

Nope. I would be at the motorhome with the dogs having a cool one, a Captain Black, and listening to Sirius Hair Nation.....SHE would be with the Smart car, hahahaha.

Just throw the smart car in the box of your pickup.

Well after looking around I think I'm going to go get a H and H 16ft car hauler.

Thanks for the input
