Hi, since you have a 5er, you could just add a hitch and flat tow a jeep or samurai.


That is only legal in certain states, so if he wants to go to another state that doesn't allow it he'll have to obtain another driver or put it inside.



That being said i was not aware you could put a vehicle inside a TH, that gets me thinking about what I want to do for full timing. And would be curious if I could fit a jeep inside a 30-35ft TH with a separate garage compartment that is 10-12ft along with a 50cc motor scooter/moped. The question would be is how well the TH would support the vehicle in the rear garage, and whether I would have to tow the TH empty or if some water/gas could be carried

The main limiting factor is not so much the floor load,but the door/ramp load limit.

Not really. most TH I have seen come with a 3000 LB door. My whole Jeep is never completely on the door so not really an issue.

No the Limiting factor is the Trailer axles..

Since I only have a 30 footer it only has two axles at 6000 each.....12,000 total

Trailer is 8000 plus jeep is 3000. That leaves 1000 for water and gear.....
