http://www.wilsoncamps.com/index.htmlWhat I find most interesting is the hay wagon steerable configuration.. I did a little research a year ago because a hay wagon has better ground clearance than a conventional trailer,
but it didn't belong on the highway imo. But wilson camps seem to have it figured out apparently.
Other than making it difficult to level, are there any major drawbacks to this steerable configuration and any idea how the suspension works? I cant find any close up pictures, but it looks like leaf spring.. And I imagine the steerable front axle isnt available to buy..
Anyway, what do you guys think?
go look at 2 horse inline trailers
the frames/undercarriages are built super stout and frequently the upper portion will rust out way before the undercarriage is compromised
these undercarriages can be had quite reasonably
they do run on leaf springs and are designed to haul precious(translated EXPENSIVE) horses down the highway at speed
most of them will have side boxes which could be incoorporated into a sheep camp build quite nicely
the stock fenders are usually super tough
with a hitch mounted on the front of your TV(i have one on the front of both my F-350 and my Jeep Cherokee) you can learn to accurately push them backwards w/ little trouble
if you giggle
Sheep Camps be ready to be overwhelmed w/ their possibilities
same w/
Vardos
i do have one of these frames and if i live long enough i'll use it under a sheep camp for travel and as an extra bedroom for guests
