Festiva towing mini toy hauler??

[Movin]

That is a cool web site! Love looking at this stuff.
This is what I am thinking along the lines of, all composite
about 900 lbs. Air suspension to almost set it on the ground
Handicapped walker, hoveround scooter can go in and out
the big rear door. 7 foot tall at highest point inside. The
rectangle front would be 5 feet wide and 4 feet tall to
fit inside the slip stream of the Festy. Looks like I need
to shorten the tongue some more. At middle it will be 84"
if I go to 8" trailer tires and move them underneath.
Chromolly tubing, foam and fiberglass!

I'm totally with you on the site! WOW, that's a big trailer... The car itself is almost 12 feet long! That trailer looks almost 25 feet long! Will that be the real size?

[Movin]

:eeeeeek: The box itself will be 16 feet, the tongue as short as possible
maybe 3 to 4 feet, so tip to tip it could go 20 foot 6 inches max, 19 min

This was just conceptional not to scale, and the trailer tires will be
8 inch and tucked under so that they will track inside the car tracks..

probably use the rear width as it is most likely to be breaking wake for
the trailer.

Rethinking this, Maybe 24, 25 feet is better, If I add a V nose to the rear that lifts
up to make a "porch roof" it should reduce drag quite a bit. Flat gated rears have a
lot of negative pressure area to pull back on the trailer. A V nose has the same effective area but adds pressure for less drag. It works just as good on the rear as it does on
the front.

Tilt V nose..

Sweet window tint on the festy

[Movin]

Yeah right! I do think it will look better if I get it put on. The metal of the car no
longer gets hot, an amazing difference in hot weather. Tint should do a little of
the same for glass??

My wife is most thoughtful, she thought I would go hunting without her
and that one of these would be just fine..






A Big old Bull Elk might get a little challenging to stow away for the trip home...
need to add a trailer hitch..LOL

[Movin]

Reworked somewhat, drawing conception closer to scale.

Again, collapsible air suspension to accommodate camping,
4 wheelers and handicapped electric scooters and the
other normal camping gear.

I look forward to your build thread.

[Movin]

Not ready for that one yet !!
I have to finish the car first!

Have you registered with TnTTT?

[Movin]

No, but I enjoyed reading about some of the builds. The HF
ones were cool, there was even a stretched one.

[Movin]

Conception drawings about done, ready for floor plan.
Want galley, solar and lithium something batteries,
shower and water.. commode. Bed in front, toy in back
Note ice box rack to fold down on front, awnings on side.
Back door to be porch roof in warm weather, with bug
magnetic screen for blocking inside. Thinking about using
wood gas generation with no propane. Wood pellets a city
slicker option. Wood gas to power generator for emergency back up power.
Any idea's? A floor plan for the bullet shape?? I like to be in the wild
with no hookups, but if set up for no hookups
it would be easy to use hookups if stranded in civilization.

With a trailer that long and with some surface area on top you might as well make an electric festiva and house the generator+solar panels to power it. I've seen wacky stuff like this done in person. Maybe not for toy hauler operation but if you ever made a second trailer...remember zombie apocolypse is coming.

Good idea, you dont want the bugs getting out. :p
