I'm looking to upgrade to a fifth wheel but once I loose the truck bed I can't take the bikes with me anymore. I don't consider a toy hauler an option for several reasons, chief among them that I just don't like em.

One thing that I've considered was a small trailer behind the fiver, but there's laws against that even though I see it all the time. I'd be the guy that not only got busted but impounded for it.

However way back in the dusty archives of my feeble mind I remember seeing a motorcycle hauler that attached to the frame of the fiver and used wheels to support it something like casters.

My problem is I'm googletarded apparently and can't find anything of the sort.

Another consideration is a hydraulic lift but I'd prefer to avoid that much cost if possible.

Anyhow am I crazy or is there a solution to my problem? TIA.

Is there any reason you couldn't do this?:

sknight,
I have on on the back of my motorhome similar to the one tmh462 recommends but it's rated for 500 lbs. Don't forget about your axel ratings.

I think this link maybe more what you are looking for. I did a search on swivel wheel trailer and came up with it. Isn't Google something else. he he he

Good luck with your search.

Edit: Sorry if forgot to paste the link but I see others found it and posted. Must be a senior thing, I think I qualify for that now.

The ultimate single wheel trailer system.

There's another site with dual wheels but this will do.

This one shows a picture being towed by a fifth wheel.

The is another one made in Idaho but cannot find it. They advertise in the Good Sam Highways magazine from time to time

We are going back to a 5er from a class A and will be using one of these on the back of it.

My friend tows the swivel wheel trailer that OneRVer suggests behind his 5ver and has been towing it with a 700 lbs ATV on it for 3 years and has been all over the US with no problems. He has changed the tire once.

And that's just what I wanted to hear, thanks. Manufacturers can say what they want, those that use them or their friends are who I listen to.

I showed the wife my current choice (I'm still shopping and evaluating, but the Eagle 321RLTS just makes my blood boil.) and after a quick look she's actually on board so this may happen sooner than expected.

Bwahahahaha!
