Is your 44 foot hauler something similar to this?

I have a friend with a 52 footer like that up here for sale, but the living quarters is unfinished. The trailer has been used one time, to haul a Corvette up the Alcan Highway.

Remember once you get over I believe its 28k GCVW you will need a CDL to tow it legally.

That's Tim's rig isn't it?


The few Toy haulers I've seen that have load ratings of 5,000+ lbs have a maximum ramp loading limit of 2,000lbs.

I'll keep looking

Thats easy, get some ramps made like a lowboy trailer to put over the ramp of the hauler. Or what Id honestly recommend if youre dead set of on a trailer, is get a smaller fifth wheel toy hauler(must be fifth wheel to tandem) and then haul your rcsb on a low boy with a rock shield on the front or a small 20" enclosed trailer. Youre going to need to go with a 30' max toy hauler to keep your total rig length short enough though. The first trailer MUST be a fifth wheel and your hitch HAS to be rated for the weigh tof both trailers. The tandem trailer has to have atleast one braking axle too. You could put all your tools in the toy hauler. Again you would need the newest one ton diesels that are rated for 22K.

Either way Id highly suggest some seat time with a rig like that taking it easy, youre talking about a long wagon train and a lot of weight rolling behind you. Ive got a 31' fifth wheel with a trailer hitch on the *** end that I use to tow my Bronco on a low boy trailer. Works great for me but Ive been towing trailers since I had a drivers license. My trailer will be for sale here soon too BTW
