Guy thinks this weighs 6000lb empty. United is a real trailer and so I'm assuming axles are not Chinese junk. Researching the difference between 5200 and 6000lb axles now and doesn't seem like much. Asking for trouble?

Weird how so many trailers seem to be under-axled. 10k 32' trailer? Hauling feathers...

i bet 5K cash would take that 42' 


Matts is a 40' that will stuff two cars.  that 42' would be great if you had to haul two jeeps with even a couple feet for gear on the deck, sleeping up top. 

probably last a season or two with the rubber on it with only one rig.  if you have a place to store it id snap that one up.  its also done loosing value.

walk on roof is cool, also looks like good extra height looking at the attic picture height.  truck not going to care about 6 more feet of trailer and another 1000lbs of tin and axle.

http://www.racingjunk.com/RVs-and-Motorhomes/182863757/1999-Itasca-Sunflyer-Slide-Out-Coach-Loaded.html#1

275hp 24v cummins w 6 speed allison. air ride freighshaker chassis, one slide 36' pusher

$30k

And for $20k a no-slide 8.3L Cummins with 6 speed. that's probably a LOT less of a 6 speed than today's Allison automatics. I quietly wonder what it would take to put a 9 or 13 speed in a pusher.

I shall go back to quietly keeping an eye on the Class 8 truck market now.

You're going to want a slide out.

The first one is being sold by 'elite motorsports' so my guess is its been used for towing a lot.

Speaking of motorhomes, I saw this the other day on CL and thought it looked damn cool - not the typical white/tan motorhome.

That thing is a beast

Mo' slides mo' problems!
I'm pretty familiar with the layout dictates of staying 102" wide.

That said - As long as I have a BIG shower I really don't care about much else. And places to store race gear without having to move it allthefuckingtime.
