I don't know anything about the weight but this thing looks huge. The picture doesn't do justice to that.
I asked Mona what she knew about it and she told me the guy says "They pulled it with a 3/4 ton". If it is light enough to be towed with a 3/4 ton I'm wondering what got left out. Besides that I'd hate to be trucking down I-80 through the Wyoming wind with that baby hooked up.

That's a Gypsy or Traveler trailer. They don't like windows cause then you can see inside what they might have 'borrowed' from other people.

From that site; it looks as though they make them all the way up to a 54 footer.

What a junky website. Was 2007 their last year? On their homepage there is a link for "New for 2007". When I googled it I didn't find anything newer.
I see people pulling 3-axle 5ers with a 3/4 ton a lot...the truck salesmen will tell them the truck can pull anything. And the junky 5er salesmen just want to sell the RV. Just because they are pulling it with a 3/4 ton doesn't mean they are doing so safely. JMHO

I knew a guy who would buy those, drive them to Texas, mark them up about $5k to $10k and sell them. Several years ago someone else told me that they aren't bad as long as you leave them in one place, don't move around alot. Maybe that's why you always see larger models.
