It will drag if you go up or down a inclined driveway. I dragged the hitch while double towing and the hitch is only sticking out a foot from my 5th wheel. That thing is sticking out like 3 feet which is ok if you only drive on flat surface but that’s not going to happen.

Myself and many of my camping friends have done this exact thing for our golf carts,atv etc...

It looks great!

So smart! How do I get my hands on this idea? I’m pulling a Cricket mini Golf cart, what’s your thoughts? I also have a fifth wheel

Also selling the plans implicates him for liability, good luck!!

How hard would it be to put one of these on a 550 Ford SC class? Motor home being 4 wheel drive.

This rig would work on very few 5th wheel or bumper pull campers. The average tongue weight on the majority of rear-mounted receivers is only 300-500lbs. This unit has to weigh at least 200+ lbs by itself. Then even a lightweight Dual Sport bike is going to weigh 360lbs and up. Now, take into consideration the down-force every time you hit a bump or dip in the road. That weight will increase exponentially! I wanted something this simple for my KTM 390 Adventure bike. Researched for weeks... but the only viable choice was a trailer. Ended up ordering a 4'x6' Swivel-wheel trailer. The calculated weight at the receiver is 245lbs, and dips and bumps will have minimal effect since the weight is distributed between the receiver and the swivel wheel.

Can you tell us what you used for material. We have one we are trying to figure out how to do the same thing with. IF you could forward that info that would be great.

Very nicely done.

Not being able to see how you actually fabricated this platform and attached it to the frame I hope for the people's sake that will be behind you in a Vehicle that you reinforced the I beams that the Trailer sits on. Those I-Beams have only 1/8" thick web and when we do modifications like this we add 1/4" X 6" X 4' steel plate to each of the two I-beams and bolt them together. Those I-beams will crack due to fatigue with extreme side and Vertical loading on them. Looks real nice though.

Did it have any adverse effects on the towing of the trailer ? Such as adding bounce or causing sway because of the extra weight behind the axles ? Looks really nice !

I would love to have this for my 5th wheel

show it work before asking for $

Jeff are you still making these for people? I’d be interested in talking about one for my rig.

Do you know the max weight this could hold?

Well I'm no engineer, But I am a Licensed plumber, And I also extended 3 ft. bind my Rv for a tool box, in-house Battery, solar batteries ect. I also extended my hitch and I will be manufacturing my own wheeled trailer hitch so it will help with wight and my Tow Dolly.

"As a structural engineer" you should know that the trailer is only rated to carry a specific load regardless of what you attach to it. The tires, axle and frame are only rated for a specific weight. In addition, if one modifies a vehicle and that vehicle is involve in an accident, understand that there is sure to be a lawyer questioning the modification. With that stated, if you're offering this modification as an individual be very careful. I would seriously consider forming a business and having the proper insurance before simply posting such a video. I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope my comments help you.

Depending on weight depends on the overlap distance of the c chanel.Doesnt take a engineering degree is you have common sense.lol

How would this be for a motor home? Not a pusher please call me back and let me know thank you very much for this Video it looks sturdy

Lets see you get the motorcycle up there and take it off.

Lose your balance halfway up that ramp and goodbye Harley.

say goodbye to your warranty on that new trailer

Is Monopoly money acceptable?

You lost me at ...send me money

Would love to know what university gave him a degree in engineering. 800 lbs x 3 ft = 2400 ft/lbs of torque over every bump. When you examine factory welds on the frame, you will see they are inadequate for these loads and torques. I had a standard approved hitch welded to the frame by an experienced installer, pulled a trailer with below maximum tongue weight and had factory welds fail resulting in the entire hitch breaking loose. The loads were far less than those in this video.

Nice try Jeff but looks dangerous.

I am interested in your design. And sent you an email Dec. 1

I am still waiting for a comment back

Your ramp is dangerous and tailights hidden. I see liability issues here.

Simply buy a 5th wheel with a toy hauler!!!!

Why would I pay you any money to tell me how to attach or even build this.

I wouldn’t pay a nickel for your plans. Nice try.

All 4 wheels were off the ground at the same time? You lost me at that exaggeration.

Wow...the almighty dollar again, what a shame.
