Couldn't find anything bigger?
All aluminum too, nice trailer man!
Lmao.. I finally decided it was like a shop. If you think it’s big enough, it probably isn’t. I can fit 2 machines this way and still have a little room up front for stuff. Rather, than having to pack s*** in and around machines if I had gone 20ft. We did that last year at Moab and it was a pain in the ass. Soooo, problem solved. Plus the girls have been talking about a camper. Soooo, problem solved. Plus, I just f***ing wanted it. Soooo... problem solved!

It took me a couple hundred miles to get the feel of it... but I went thru rush hour in St. Louis and two hellashish thunderstorms in CO and Kansas. It’s really not bad...

And we fit, even with room to spare!

Ps.. my sxs sits at 81-82” at the tallest point. View attachment 145165View attachment 145166
You going to make a camper/toy hauler out of it out of it? That's along the lines I've been thinking. I can bum sleeping arrangements and pay for the camper site for camper, than buying a 44 foot camper and a 1 ton truck 7 times a year. Until I wear out my welcome! HA!

Wow that’s nice. Yeah the wind sucks especially pulling something like that. Can’t believe u wouldn’t stay a night in a hotel!

I just did a 1400 mile round trip to get my machine. Fought wind the whole way there. Worst tank was 11 mpg empty. The trip home wasn’t fighting wind. Got 13-14 the whole way back, loaded with a Pioneer 1000!

Must have got a heck of a deal to go that far to get it. I missed out on a 24’ enclosed a couple months ago. Guy had it all set up as a poor mans toy hauler. I called him immediately but he already had a buyer. Was all set up with ac, shore power, fridge, beds etc. for $2475. Older trailer but was a steal at that price. Probably wasn’t tall enough for a 1000 anyway

That was cheap.. yeah, ac is also on my list. The intech’s are pre wired and braced for it. So it’s an easy add. Fitting mine in an enclosed is especially difficult as I have 30’s and a lift.. and Honda roof and fox shocks with preload and I’m not doing a cage chop. I also looked at a sundowner but the doorway was slightly shorter by an inch or two. After loading mine in this.. I don’t think mine would have fit as is in the sundowner. But I did really like that sundowner too. Trailer World in Bowling green Ky was the cheapest I found the intech and the was largely due to the salesman really cutting a deal. (I have his info if anyone is interested) That’s a 24k trailer new with the options it has. It’s an 18 and still smells new inside despite being a used trailer.

X2! I'm looking at them myself are you happy with that size? Or would you go. Bigger any direction?

I think I’m really going to like it. If you get it tall and wide enough for the pk5 then it doesn’t make a lot of difference on the length. The longer they are the better they pull. 24’ will allow for 2 machines and stuff in front. As I look at it. It’s a lot of room, but it’s also not. The big kicker for me was the physical door opening clearance. The header for the spring on the ramp kills a lot of opening. The intech does a very good job of keeping that header low. And they have a nice 4” dove tail. So on a 7’ interior height trailer I have a door that allows 83 1/2” of vertical clearance. I’d have to go to a 7 1/2’ trailer to get that needed clearance for my machine in most others options. I won’t say it’s perfect for everything.. but we’ve got options with this where you get limited options if you go smaller. 2 machines is a biggie. And if you’re going to go 20’.. you may as well go long enough to put your s*** up front vs in your way. I had started out thinking 16-18 but as it all progressed over the last 2 years. This was the deal and I’m glad of it. It’s really not bad pulling. I’m going to get a weight distribution hitch and see how that helps with the sway/push you get in the heavy wind.

That sounds awesome! 2 sxs is a biggie f0r me also that and a old car would prob be the only use. Possibly one machine and makeshift camper. I've looked at 28' also. Guess you cant have too much room as long as you can pull it and park it
