Red says he has room for two ultras in that Raptor. So I figure you could put a bike and a 4 wheeler (ATV) in there. I guess you can drive (ATV) them at most campgrounds can't you?
I tell ya...those Keystone Raptors are looking to be the best value for the money.
Right now in my life I can't justify a $150,000 Diesel pusher to sit in the yard.
I have to have a truck so I can partially justify a 5th wheel sitting around. The depreciation on the Toy Haulers is not to awful bad. RV's on the other are a black hole.
It for the exact reason you mentioned Six that we bought a 5th wheel and truck. The truck and my Ultra are my primary means of transportation, my wife has her car...if we had bought an RV, I wouldn't have a truck and the RV would be lying fallow in storage for probably 7 months out of the year (at least until we retire). This way, the trailer sits in storage and I still get to use the truck. It's kind of a win-win if you're going to do any sort of trailering. The big pushers are nice, but we won't consider one of those until we retire and know that we'll be using it a lot more than what we are using the trailer now. We're very happy with the Raptor...look around at all the different toy haulers and I think you'll agree. They are probably the best bang for the buck, and they are solid trailers. We both love riding the Ultra, but I definitely can't picture momma riding on a 1300 mile trip to Minnesota on the bike... we can take the trailer, set up camp in Minnesota and do a lot of day trips and at night return back to our domicile....I can break out the barbeque, and we can have some steaks, or burgers, or dogs, or whatever we feel like, then after meal I can go out in the air conditioned garage and polish up the bike after a day's ride and have her ready for tomorrow. I know the old "die-hard biker" attitude, ride to where ever you're going...I used to be that way and never believed in trailering, until I got that toyhauler....it changes your whole outlook on trailering. And will I ever break even or save money over a hotel and eating out all the time? Who knows, I don't really care, we both enjoy doing it, and that's all that matters. Plus there's nothing sweeter than dropping the rear ramp, starting up the ride when it's in the garage, and seeing the neighbors looks (mostly always approving and envious) when you back it out. I've gotten into more conversations with the "neighbors" when I've brought the bike out...
