    Sadly the trailer is on loan from another guy from church. The trailer is 8' long with 4.5' high walls, double axle, drum brakes, and a single ram for lift. After using this one my wife and I are seriously considering buying a hydraulic dump trailer; haul the toys, trash, yard waste, loan out, and just haul whatever I want knowing that I don't have to unload it.

    Awesome dump rig! Wish My father in law had seen that set up before he bought a slide-in dump bed for his truck. Is the trailer you have commercially available?

    This trailer was built by a place out of Fresno, but I have seen similar trailers at a few other places up and down California. I'm sure a quick search and you would find something similar. I also like the low deck, I have to take a little bit more than a regular step to get in the trailer. The size is great and teamed with the compact size of the Tacoma and I can literally back this thing anywhere.

    Thanks! The property is awesome! The location is great; in the country but less than 15 minutes from town. The house is brick and stucco with a lifetime cement tile roof. 10 foot ceilings throughout the entire house and a fully enclosed three car garage. Several outbuildings and loads of fruit and nut trees. If the house work out, my wife and I are already planning to put a fruit stand out front for all the wine tasting traffic and tours in the area. There is even a 5 acre pasture next to us that we could possibly use for our horses. If we get our foot in the door now we might end up owning it all down the road.

    yeah. are trailer is big. and about 90% of the time to big. but we much rather have it a little big 90% of the time than just right 90% of the time because when you REALLY need it it’s most likely going to be something big put on it.

    are’s is 7’ wide by 12’ long tandem axil 3000# rating we mostly haul atvs and it have a side gate the is full length and a back gate the is 6’ wide.

    That is the exact size i want, im looking for a enclosed that size so i have somewhere to sleep when i go to the dunes or camping. So far i haven't had any luck finding one for a decent price. the 6' x 12' ones are cheap but id be running into the same problem with the 7' wide i could turn the quads sideways and fit 3 which would be ideal.

    yeah are’s is open. and idk if you can turn the quads side ways in a 6’ inclosed. are honda rancher gets put on side ways and front tires touch the rail on one side.(but what stick out past the wheels hangs over) and the back rack almost touches the gate. idk how long you’r quads are tho they may fit.

    we have thought about getting a 6’X10’ or some like that, thats inclosed or open. something we can put are mower on. are trailer is kinda high(being 7’W the wheels are under the trailer)( will post a pic) and the gates are kinda short mower wont go up. need one that sits a little lower.

    i know my quad doesnt fit in the back of my truck with the tail gate up unless the front wheels are up on something so id have to do at least a 7' wide if i wanted to turn them.
    your taco would haul that just fine i've towed one like it with 3 450 quads 4 5 gallon gas cans 2 cooler and the back of my truck loaded with gear and it pulled fine a little slow on the hills but for a v6 i was impressed.

    yeah i know it will tow it fine. rhino is 1250* atv is 535* and trailer i’d say is about 800. steel. plus extra gas drinks snakes a chain tow strap and some other stuff. and the trailer has a lock box on the front. has a spair tire and a jack and tie downs a tarp rope in it.(you can see the box) and thats why the rhino is on like it is.

    I like that type of trailer with the ramp on the side. Seems so much easier for loading/unloading quads, plus you don't have that 4 foot tall ramp sticking straight up acting like an air brake when you're driving down the road. I met a guy at hunting camp last year that had a side load ATV trailer that carried 3 ATVs & was all aluminum. That thing would be perfect for towing with our trucks but was pretty pricey IIRC.

    yeah it has a back gate as well. we can fit 3 atvs easy! ares is steel but really good made buy a company a little north of knoxville. this one a guy had ordered but never came to get it. we went and looked one day and owner gave us a good deal because it had been sitting for like 2 months. are trailer tows really nice, weighted down or empty!

    Looks like a "Jay Feather" & approx 20'-21' from the looks of the pic.
    Looks similar to my R-Vision Trail Cruiser - but I think its not an R-Vision.
