Thus the TWO car stacker over the three....

If the lighter/smaller philosophy is good enough for Stielow...:unibrow:

So this is what I'm thinking -- two car stacker - M2 truck - with some living quarters in the stacker.

Although not this ugly....

I like it. :thumbsup:

You'll be able to limb some trees with that trailer.

The problem with a truck like that is that because it's not an RV you will have to get a license to drive that rig, Legally. Even with my F-450 I was required to have a license legally. But those M2 class trucks have never really impressed me, they lack power and seem to be horrible rattle traps. I kinda thought with all the drama you "could" have to entail you might as well go to a real truck. That's how I ended up where I'm at.

Not sure what they do about that -- as far as a CDL -- because you're right - the Truck GVWR might make it just enough that a CDL is required. I'll have to ask DMV about it. The trailer would have living space but it's not motorized.

So maybe back to the Toter - with a gooseneck two car stacker.

I don't know about that, if it is not commercial, you shouldn't have to have anything special to drive it. In theory, he could flat out buy a semi, and drive it with nothing special, as long as it is personal. This is a big discussion on other boards with people that move personal loads that have some weight to them.:)

not in my state he couldn't. Needs a commercial license for three axles over 6000 pounds.

In correct a semi truck is considered a comercial vehicle because it is over 24,000 lbs.

Here's the Washington law....

All single vehicles with a manufacturer’s weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more.

All trailers with a manufacturer’s weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more, and a combined vehicles’ gross weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more.
