Crawler hauler pics

Diezl · Jan 20, 2023

Show off your crawler haulers. There's a cool page on face space but want to see what people have on here. From truck campers on goosenecks to school buses to big trucks with flat beds built or bought. I've been just tagging along on a buddy's setup cuz he has the room on the trailer but sleeping on the dining table in the camper kinda sucks when your 6'3"

I went with a minimal trailer and a truck camper after I sold my last enclosed trailer.

I picked this up last year for cheap. Trailer is overloaded and a flimsy piece of junk, but works for now.

Why the change from an enclosed to a slide-in and trailer?

That thing looks tall as hell. How does it ride down the road?

We "haul the crawler" with this guy sometimes for weekend trips.

The RV is a toy hauler , we use the back for tools , storage , whatever.

Nice setup. What's the mpg like with and without trailer on the Class C?

That is a very good question Patrick.

I have zero idea.

Probably something like single digits without a trailer and lower single digits with a trailer. :rolf:

But it sure beats the hell out of tent camping.

My old school bus hauler got 9 mpg & it weighed in at around 20k with Jeep.
Slow but dependable.

It is. It's right about 12.5' overall, but i can stand inside it without hitting my head.

You can feel the height for sure. I usually roll 70 on the highway while towing with it and it's fine. I run airbags, and I'm considering a heavy sway bar for the rear as well, but I've hauled it for a couple thousand miles to date with no trouble.

The first 5 mins is always sketchy feeling, then you don't notice after that.

yeah i had one for a bit and i ended up putting a beefier sway bar on mine and the next step was air bags. it wasnt bad until you got near a semi then it got a little sketchy.

The only thing that's really gotten me to pucker was the expansion joints on the bridges coming up i95 when I first bought it. I was driving back from Tampa running 75 and it was all fine, but some of those bridges got the whole rig rocking a bit side to side and I had to back it down a bit to settle things. I added airbags before I hauled it again and it's been solid since.

Sharp trailer setup. Big fan of that length enclosed gooseneck.

Enclosed would be sweet and no problems fitting in the door it looks like

I wish mine was a 32' and not a 28', but better to be a little short when the truck is inside rather than 10' too long.

28' haulmark 8' inside wall height, domed roof. Pretty dang comfortable. This is when I got it:

That's a big change!! Funny you say that you wish you had a 32', I wish mine was a 36' for a bathroom addition and would like to change the outside door to a camper style like yours. Do you have any interior pics?
