I like this setup better than the big motorhomes, and I'll guess this one is cheaper than most of the newer full size motorhomes.
I wonder what he uses to get the little vehicle off the back? Ramps?
Ramps??? Yup.
The tow vehicle probably costs in excess of 150K and the 5th wheel probably around 90K. Call it 250K and be done with it. The Smart car … who knows.
Motorhomes run from 100K on up to millions. Pick your price point.
5th wheels, bumper pulls or motorhomes? There are plusses and minuses to them all. It's a matter of personal choice.
Cool setup. Minus the smart car. Lol
My inlaws had a single axle freightliner they used to haul their 5th wheel. Theirs was the 3/4 sized truck with quad cab. It hauled the camper fine down to Arizona each winter but since they didn't have a smart car loaded up, they were stuck driving around in a freightliner all winter.
My parents opted for a 39' diesel pusher motorhome with 5 slides hauling a 24' matching enclosed car hauler that hauls both their jeep and dad's Harley as well as a garage full of tools. I think the only thing he doesn't have in there is a welder.
For the first couple years, my parents hauled their vehicle down behind their old motorhome. But dad wanted his Harley down there as well seeing as they spend 6 months. So they bought a newer one with a matching trailer. The previous owner had a race car and only used it to haul around his car to the tracks. I believe the motorhome only had 22k for mileage and was 6 years old when they bought it.
