    Thank you tmreyes

    Yes trailer home built but I can't take credit for it found it on cl. I did add custom rack the tent sits on. Along with the fenders and Tacoma rims I purchased from tw member and I added lights. Still not done with it, I'm going to add a side mount table and tongue box. And a slider with drawer. Also could use a paint job. Going as I can afford it though.

    Great trailer!

    Full toilet or "cassette" type? I think a Casita would be at the top of my list.

    Full toilet, i think all 17 ft'ers only come with the full bath. It's the 17ft. spirit deluxe. 2450 is the weight and my v6 1st gen taco towed it easily.

    I know guys like to post pictures of tacos pulling giant trailers so mine doesn't look that impressive, but I love it. This spring's project is to redo my front lawn. So I rented a 350 pound sod cutter at the local hommers. Because my trailer has a loading gate I was able to load and unload the sod cutter by myself. Then I filled the trailer up with sod and hauled it to the dump. With a trailer like this I really don't need a truck. :rolleyes:

    I was always partial to a trailer that was low and light for skid steers, that small of a bobcat just Bout any trailer will do but you really want one lower to the ground. You should probably ask yourself, what other things do I need a trailer for? Try to get a trailer that will accommodate your other needs but will carry a bobcat also. For some this will be a dump trailer, a trailer for mowers, or a car trailer but make sure the bobcat will fit.

    a multi use trailer would be perfect. is there a construction debris trailer with the sides that can also serve to haul the skidsteer?? possibly with ramps???

    Towed this home the other day. Couldn't be happier with how the Tacoma handled it. I have an equalizer WD hitch and prodigy brake controller.

    Folds flat, so it's easy to pull. Has more room than it looks, plus plenty of storage. It was on its last leg when I got it. (Water damage) I completely gutted and rebuilt, new floor, rewired, replaced cabinets where needed. And installed some new accessories.:thumbsup:
