A Cyclone is a toyhauler

 

If the guy had of had a 17 SD he wouldn't have needed the backhoe!

 

I'd like to do that ride, leaving the TH in camp.

Rumor has it that a coworker was showing this yesterday as he knows the guy. Waiting to hear the rest of the story from him. Will post if legitimate.

 

I'm not sure my shorter, bumper pull toy hauler could have made that corner.

 

He just needed a side shifter... Start at 1m53s....

 

This is why he will not be getting a 17SD.

 

Nice truck.......Nice trailer.......terrible decision to try that! Who does that?

What good was the backhoe? Help finish off the rear of the trailer? Ridiculous

 

Doesn't he know that is Arctic Fox Country??

 

This is actually a light duty adaptation of a typical machinery/heavy hauler mover. They have all kinds of powered tugs that drive things around like that.

I've actually used pallet jacks to side shift my work trailer before, it's not as big as an Rv but sometimes in order to park or get around wherever I need to go interesting things need to happen. I couldn't have helped that dude on the hill and rough terrrain, but my rigging gear can do most anything on solid ground.

It's a neat thing though.

 

Neat idea but I am not sure commercial trucks would adapt to the idea of carrying extra weight that could be in the box as revenue. This is not new. A similar design was around years ago and featured in Popular Mechanics or Science, I don't remember which but it was a long time ago before the adverts ruined the magazines.

 

It makes me cringe just looking at those pictures. For those of us that pull these over priced fragile toys you know exactly what I mean.

 

Yup, watch out for a really good deal on that model on RVTrader!!

 

New unknown, unpaved, back country mountain road, switchbacks, boulders, 45+ft ToyHauler in tow...
Bring it on!
But, the big question....did he make it the rest of the way down or how many times did that backhoe dig him out?

 

These pictures ended up on our RV talk group. lol And I didn't put them, there

 

Looks like you might have been luckier than me, I hooked mine up to my camper Monday and with my hitch set at 15 1/2 tall looked if my 5th wheel was way out of level and that was with only about 5" of bed clearance which I am in no way comfortable with. Could just be my unlevel and not very flat driveway. So I hope!
