I have many dozens of hours into researching this very topic. I have my current 44' Vintage for sale here. After traveling the country racing U4 and committing to do it for years to come this is a very important topic to me.
Here is the ideal set up in order...
1. Tractor trailer
2. Class A or Super C pulling an enclosed car trailer
3. 48' Vintage, Millenial, ATC, or what ever with living quarters.
4. Anything else you cobble together but works.
1. Tractor trailer.
Buy one and register it as an RV. Buy a used trailer and do anything you want to the interior and living quarters. Surprisingly affordable. A new trailer is $30,000. Near unlimited weight for what we do.
2. Class A or Super C pulling an enclosed car trailer
This is an awesome set up but you will be in $200,000 or so for a middle of the road set up. $100,000 for a 10 year old set up. This way you can keep your tools and buggy in the trailer and tow it with a truck or the camper. It keep everything safe from weather and in a bind you can sleep in the enclosed car trailer. Set up a mobile shop in the trailer. keep the buggy in it at home, what ever. You only need a 30' trailer to jam 2 buggies in. when pulling with an RV the passengers can use the bathroom and make you sandwiches going down the road. you need a 330HP D motor at a minimum with a 16,000 lb hitch on the RV.
3. This is also a great set up. 2 buggies and living quarters. Its the most obtainable and reasonable option. For $300 a month you can get a nice one. for $400 a month you can get a custom one any way you want. I have been in this set up for 3 years and really cant complain. You will need a 3500 minimum. 4500 or 5500 truck even better and safer. These can get pricey if you go to custom. you can get them for new for $40,000 or $115,000. mine was $50,000. Used you can find them for $30,000-$50,000. They hold their value really well. Used ones can be only a few thousand less than new.
4. this option is better than an open trailer and tent.
I am in #3 looking to change to #2. but with a twist. I have been negotiating on a bathroom trailer. a 34' aluminum trailer that comes with a bathroom, shower, workbench and tool cabinets. AC, heat, insulated etc. Now add some drop down beds. You end up with basic camping in a tag along triple axle trailer. it can fit a buggy and a UTV with feet of extra room. Grab the truck and go my myself for a wheeling weekend OR pull it with the RV. Now you can sleep 6 people in the trailer and 6+ in the RV. you have 2 bathrooms and showers, tons of water etc. Just the trailer would be a great option for some of you guys. http://www.trailernut.com/2017-34-bathroom-shower-trailer-auto-master-car-racing-trailer-enclosed-trailer--KCcb%7CSW.html A lot of companies make them. For me this will be my pit crew sleeper at races. 3 queen beds drop down from the ceiling, etc. RV for the family.
And for the record. Work N Plays are total junk. do a little research. Most dealers won't carry them anymore because the quality is so bad, it reflects poorly on the trailer dealer to have them on the lot :****:
