Right now it's on my 16 foot flat bed trailer, it could go on my f 150, looking for suggestions!

Dude, thought you were getting a boat….¿

That should be a nice project to tackle!! I see airbags in your future or at least helper springs!!

Yes, I may do that after all, but it's not as heavy as it looks. I'd gain a lot of interior room if I took those shelves out and replaced them with some smaller boxes,

That hydraulic ladder rack is coming off, it's worth almost what I paid for the whole thing, so you'll be seeing it on the internet marketing sites.

Not sure if I need that slide if a bed is going there. While there is a big flat roof up there, I'm not really into ladders going to my bed.

Then again, it may stay on the flatbed trailer, it can be forward and the Razor or my 1800 VTX trike can ride behind it. My F 150 can tow it or my Commander 5.7 Hemi can make short work of it. Just need some ideas on what to do with it.

Nah, changed my mind on the boat, that's how I got the Razor, no more boats!

Looking forward to your decision!

With my contractor cap, I removed the interior shelves and it opened it right up! I do not like my roof rack and will be looking at removal and replacing with 1.5” round aluminum that hugs the cap. Also mulling over a drop down cantilever extension over the truck cap. This is where it all started on my truck.

Actually, your topper is what I was looking for, then I found that one, it is stout and solid, a rack would fine with an RTT I'm sure. That ladder rack with ladders isn't light. Since AT&T makes these things under a subordinate entity, it's hard to get specs on this slide-in, at least that's what I was told.

Looks like you did what I'm thinking about. I'm trying to figure out just what would be carried in those side shelves or trays or even bags that could be accessed from inside or outside. If it stays on the trailer, I'd enclose the lower half with storage from just below those side doors to the deck of the trailer, trim it out to be more civilized around in these Ozarkian hills.

The more I think about it the more I think its life would be better on the trailer. It is much heavier than an aluminum topper.

Those side doors could be left up, put screens in the "windows" and have great airflow for sleeping......
 
Some of the things you mentioned is what I did. Enclosed below side windows for storage, sleeping and full kitchen, side screens for bugs, etc... check out my build thread.

Sometimes I think a trailer would have been easier since I have a 5th Wheel and I have to remove everything if I had to move it. Trailers for sale so it won't be long that I have to worry about it.
