Gooseneck trailer tips

Dang it man, sorry to hear this.


If it would help I can bolt the wheels back on my house, we could put a door on the end and you could park in the living room. Not as much square footage and no flat screens but it'll get you down the road.

Awesome! I think we might be able to make this work!!! See Sieg's idea below.

How about Featherlite Greg? They seem to do nice stuff! Sorry to hear this, I was hoping to catch some of my favorite shows when you hit Columbus with it. Guess we'll just have to "Go Out" for a steak!

My buddy just had a custom Featherlite done -- with room for a hot rod and a side door ramp for his Harley....

The interior in that trailer is just absolute crap. The trailer is nice - if you're in love with rivets.... But I'm not a fan. Mind you -- I'm sure they can build whatever a customer is willing to pay for - but the $77K he spent... I'd have rather tossed it in the wind.

5150 may have potential. Based on their gooseneck trailers and motorhome interiors they may be able/willing to do a custom living quarter gooseneck.

Another option would be the custom coach builder in my neighborhood, Marathon. I've seen big tag trailers at their site and their interior work is pretty good. Possibly sub the interior out to them?

Yeah, sub it out to one of the luxo moto coach builders! Newell, Tiffin, Marathon, Gulf Stream (yes that one), etc. It'll make for a better trailer, and a better conversation piece!

Edit: lemme add Newmar, Powerhouse to that list

Maybe we're just shopping on the wrong continent:

Clill says he'll be fine outside:

I think there's just something wrong with me..... Here's how I shop....


I tell someone up front --- If I tell you that you have "good, better, and best" I'm going to ask you what you have better than that.

Then once we're working on an order... or a contract... and you tell me you need 25K (for instance) up front... I'll tell you I'll give you 50K up front. Just so you know I'm a for real buyer.

I'm very easy to please - as long as you understand that all I'm asking for is the very best you have - and to please bring me ideas... I love it when someone says -- "hey! You know what would really be kool!".... Or says... well this is the way we normally do something - but if you want my opinion I'd do it "X" way because it only costs "X" more but it's a way better way to do it.

Apparently I just don't communicate very well.

Is this what you mean about no rivets down the side?
