solid built toyhauler
« on: July 05, 2019, 03:21:28 PM »
here is a company that builds solid toyhaulers and will customize them just about any way to fit ones needs. opposing slides and auto leveling systems.

Very nice. I was told by dexter when I built the trailer that burned to not use triple torsions. Said it would prematurely wipe out the rubbers. Then again my red toyhauler trailer has triple torsions. I think it has more to do with if it is used only on the pavement or flat ground. They said that torsions don't "equalize" the load over all 3 axles like springs do and it is easy to overload one of the axles if the pin height wasn't where it should be or if used on uneven ground.

the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

fabr, i don't doubt that one bit! i have never liked torsion and pre fer leafs. i have seen the after math of shot bushings in torsions! now i know we differ on slipper springs  ;D but after having pulled a tandem with slippers i did like the way it handled whiled dodging storms at 70 mph. that company and one down by enid oklahoma, have specialized in horse trailers with living quarters and have begun branching out to toyhaulers/ race trailers with living quarters. the outfit by enid just started branching out. i posted it as i believe those style to be stronger than any camper based toyhauler on the market imo.

there is another company in tulsa as well but so far the one in florida is the only one that shows slide out on there models and they'll do opposing slides.

No doubt about it.

i actually reached out and spoke with one of the shadow trailer dealers in florida as he stocks a number of there toyhaulers.  he basically said if i can dream it and there engineers can make it fit then they will build it.  based on pictures alone there fit and finish looks to be top end compared to the other 2 companies i looked at.  the one thing they don't do and need to is a platform at the base of the bed like my th'er so you can sit on the edge with your feet on the floor. its not walk around but maintains the shorter ceiling. these new toyhaulers are 13'5" tall for true walk around beds. that's a lot of side wall to catch wind plus makes for steeper ramp gates. none the less you know as well as i do that carg trailers are designed to haul weight first where th'ers are an after thought. the slides are manual, which i don't understand that part but not a huge deal imo.

Manual slides? WTH?  Is the landing gear manual as well? Fook that. For around 80K I'm not manually doing anything. I'm not buying one either though. Soooo, :nw  I'm going to OKC tomorrow with a side stop in Waynoka. Enid is right on the way. Does the place in Enid stock any?

edmond oklahoma, my mistake. i don't think they offer the same camper like conversion that shadow does.  shadow does offer a $50k model but that one ad said manual slides. i do not know why but thats what i read.

so i talked to a rep at grand design today.  they won't make any changes to there models at the factory. he said he'll pass along a couple of my idea's and i'm sure 1 will make it but the rest fell on deaf ears. i flat out told him that if they want to be #1  in the toyhauler market then they need an actual off roaders input into the design ........not a golf cart jockey!  at this point weekend warrior was the only th'er built by an off roader for off roaders. real shame he doesn't build anymore fifth wheels but is back building travel trailers toyhaulers.  he's building under a different name as lux rv bought the weekend warrior name.
