    Does anyone know of anyone who makes a fifth wheel trailer that is enclosed in the front and a flatbed atleast 25' in the back ? Need to make front into living quarters and be able to load boat on trailer on the back. Being we can't pull two trailers out of the state of Florida.

    That would be an interesting idea. How big of a boat? How much living space are you looking for? I've seen it done for 4x4s with a cabover camper mounted to a gooseneck and then drive the car on the back. maybe you could convert the back to handle the boat instead.

    I've been thinking creatively since I want to get a camper but bringing the boat would be a necessity. two trailers is going to be my option since I'm already getting my class A and I rarely (haven't yet) leave CA with the boat.

    I have never seen one, and I have looked. I have seen a travel trailer with the axles removed sitting on a goose neck trailer, with a truck on the back half. Doesn't look great, but it worked. If you find one, let me know. waytogo

    I don't need to much living quarters, mostly just a place to sleep. The boat is a 21' Ranger bass boat and outside measurment of tires is 101". I have seen the campers on a flat bed trailers but doesn't look all that good and sponsors don't want it looking that way.

    Ya the camper sitting on the trailer doesn't look to good. I'm suspecting a custom build to make it look respectable.

    I was at the dirt track races a week or two ago and they had some trailers that had living quarters in the front and had tracks for the car to pull up on the back. I am guessing that something like that would work for you if it was made right. They used a winch at the back of the living quarters to pull the car up the wedge trailer part. Maybe you could use the winch to pull the boat on the trailer up the same setup. Maybe the dirt track guys could help you out. The other option would be putting an in bed camper in the truck and towing the boat. would kinda work the same way.
