| Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Saw this on Saturday at the track in Pahrump. What a setup. The front is a camper, and the back is a double-decker trailer that has EVERYTHING. The thing was new, spotless, and loaded. Filled with expensive Ducatis and whatnot. Even a little red scooter for the pits.
Unfortunately, bike #91 got wadded about 2 hours into the day... |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Have you guys seen the campers that has trailer space in the back? It's like half camper, half trailer. I can't find a picture but we saw one at Barber. It was pretty cool. |

| Re: Tell kwhip this is what I want for Christmas... Yep, the trailer versions of the toy haulers are everywhere here, too.
HUGE with the ATV / dirt bike market.
I like the FunMover motorhomes better myself, but the wife likes the bedroom in the back instead of a garage. |
