Just got this earlier in the week.
In fact, I have yet to even bring it home.
It is still sitting up at Champion Trailers.

I wanted something big enough to haul the Jeep and the 4-wheelers up to our property (or where ever).

It's a '07 PJ I-Beam Deckover
24' x 8" , 2 5/16" Adj. ball, 3' Dovetail w/2 18x60 Ramps, 2-7000# Elec / Spring Axles, Front Toolbox, Weight 4,300# GVWR 14,000# Cap 9,680#

More than I really needed weight wise.... but it's all good.

Soon I will have pics of it being used to transport our toys.... until then, this is the best I got.













Now I should be able to get everything on one trailer..... vice either taking the Jeep, "or" the 4-wheelers on the little trailer... like this:

 

SWEET man!
Must be fun...

 

what does that thing weigh. Did you really want a deck over? The extra with is nice but the added deck height doesn't help fuel mileage any.

 

It weighs 4200 pounds.
I wanted a deck over for two reasons:
1 - the extra width
2 - the extra ground clearance (our property is quite wooded and full of under-brush)

It is definitely more heavy duty than I really need, but it leaves room for upward growth a little.

As for the mileage impact... it this point what does it matter.

I may pick up another off-road vehicle or two, possible a side-by-side, if so, this should be able to tow them as well.

 

I see where you are coming from. I am in the same place, sort of. I want to be able to haul my samurai and my dad's tracker. I need at least 24' of trailer, but I really want 28'. The problem is that anything 28' long is way over built for what I am going to be towing. So we are going to build our own. As for the mileage thing every little bit helps and when you start getting taller the mileage falls off. For example when I towed my friends camaro to Dallas for him I got 14-14.5mpg, but towing my zuk on the same trailer I get 12.5-13 tops. The camaro is an easy 1000lbs more than my zuk but the zuk catches a ton of air.

 

I see said the blind man.

As I understand it, it is wind resistance that accounts for the majority of the energy required to move a vehicle.... more so than weight.

 

Nice score. Can I say one thing? Get yourself a air ride hitch with that trailer and truck set up. It'll really smooth things out.

 

Yeah it is we are not going to build a deck over just to help keep the trucks out of the wind. Our trucks are both really tall already. The good thing is that trailer is more trailer than you need so it should last a long time. I would look into a weight distribution hitch. pulling 8,000-10,000lbs is going to bring a lot of tongue weight.

 

Those are freakin cool!

 

Just got her home.... and to be honest, my truck rides better when it's pullin a load.







I need to move on some property....
