Similar but an aluminum model with a retractable awning over the bed rather than a permanent one. I've had a vendor setup like that but was very heavy and only offered in am 8' wide model in steel only. In fact nobody that I know of builds these trailers in aluminum except the company I solicited to build for me. That's a perfect setup for sure if a guy had a diesel truck where weight is no factor
As I said I've had a few different models and lightweight is the name of the game for me. This model seems to be the perfect size and weight. Especially when hauling a 2400 lb truck bed camper with it. Headed to Wyoming next fall and it will accompany me on that trip.Holy hell Ive never thought about a trailer like that for shooting. That would come in handy as hell all over the place!!!
The camper in the truck bed works great. It stays in the truck due to me never leaving camp. The trailer bed has a tight tonneau cover that I had made and snaps around the upper sides. Has flat fiberglass bow beams that keep it rounded and tight allowing rain/ snow to easily slide off. Snow slides off easily because in November at deer camp, I run the generator under that tonneau heating it melting any snow that falls on it. The bed also doubles as storage for fuel, propane, water and coolers. I had the trailer made for exactly why I use it. It's years of buying other set ups that has led to this final one. After hauling tow behind, fifth wheels and outfitter tents, this is the simplest most practical. Fifth wheels need a trailer behind them for quads( long and heavy). Tow behinds don't allow that option and are less appealing to tow back deep in the woods. Tents work but tough breaking down in 2-3' of snow. The truck camper trailer setup rides good, tows good and makes it thru deep snow if necessary with the bed weight and small trailer. Aluminum trailer too was a must. No rust or corrosion like steel trailers. All around the best hunting camp I've had for quick and easy set up and take down.Very nice! I thought you were going to say that cabover slide-in would mount on the trailer - make the trip, slide camper out and set up base camp.
I've studied on trailers for 40 years or so and never pulled the trigger. Very nice to see a thoughtful setup.
Another consideration for this hybrid trailer was for a great platform for setting up 2 BR pivot shooting benches for prairie dog shooting. I added a stabilizer jack in each corner of my trailer to keep it solid for shooting from. If necessary, the trailer can be used to sleep in with the two 32" wide bunks/shelves inside. There in place using E Track mounted to the sides.The camper in the truck bed works great. It stays in the truck due to me never leaving camp.
