Re: Project 30 Be Low

Yeah barely fits is an under statement. It did not fit by about three feet. But we were already up there with no other options. U haul is the only company that rents their trailers and you can return them somewhere else. All the other companies I looked at wanted their trailer back up in Fresno.

We figured since it did not have a bed or a camper on it the tongue was still the heavy side, but it was just 36" longer than my C20 long bed. If you look close in the picture you can see that there is a 4x6 wood beam that spans the frame rails about 3 feet in front of the rear axle. We used the custom camper leveling jacks to pick the back dualies off of the loading ramps and strapped the hell out of it. It road pretty well without much sway at 65 mph. It took a fork lift to get it on the truck and some back yard engineering to get it off since I do not own a fork lift at my house.

Old51: I like to post lots of pics, and this time my build will not rely on file sharing sites like Photobucket. I will upload directly to maintain the integrity of the build.
