Toy Hauler for 2 Spyders - Any Suggestions?

[Frank G]

1800 is about the weight of TWO or more 4 wheelers, depending on the 4 wheelers. Point is, make sure that the 5th wheel picked can handle the weight. You make another point though. How do you balance the tongue weight empty?

There is no easy answer to your question. Each manufacturer each model has there own unique characteristics. With mine fully loaded (about 1000 lbs of Spyder and gear in the garage) and a 1/3 tank of fresh water it weighs 9600 lbs with a tongue weight of 1300 lbs or 13.5%, about what it should be. When the Spyder is missing the tongue gets considerably heaver, I have never weighed it under those circumstances. Compensations are made through the Weight Distributing Hitch. I tow with a F-250 witch is very forgiving for the size of trailer I pull.

Perhaps you should trade the 458, for a Maserati Quattroporte...:thumbup:

I always wanted to be able to spell and own a Buggati! :joke:

At $760,000 I would have to ease back on the "Princess's" allowance and that would not do anything for

Jack's happiness and well being.

We have a 2014 Dutchman Voltage 3800 which has a 14 foot deep garage. The garage is not part of the living quarters. Walking in the main door you would have no idea what was in the garage We can get 2 Spyders staggered side-by-side in the garage or one Slingshot with no problem. Our Voltage has the bunkbed options that goes up-and-down on a chain driven motor the weight restriction for the top bunk is 600 lbs. Given we do not need to use the bunkbeds for sleeping purposes, with a little modification We can put our Freedom trailer on the top bunk raise it up and still have room to drive the Spyders or the Slingshot underneath. We Love our Voltage

Next time you staggering your bikes could you take a pic? I would like to see how it looks.

I will look and see if I have one. If not It wont be until April at the earliest where I can get a picture. I can explain it. I've done it 2 different ways. pulled the RT in straight hugging the left side then back in the ST hugging the right side. What I find works best is backing in both Spyders. The ST staggers the RT front end round 4 feet.

Give this one a look, I have been doing a lot of research as my wife and I are planning full time RV later in 2017 hopefully.
