That's kind of a question that will have different answers depending on your situation. A single guy will probably like something different than someone with kids and wife. For my family the ultimate would be a truck/toy hauler trailer. I love motor home toy haulers, but they are tight with 2 kids and wife in the living quarters.

Same here. Do you pull a camper also for weekend racing? Or is it a camper van?

Easy, MB Sprinter/VW Crafter.

Want something smaller? MB Vito or a Fiat Ducato.

Money no issue i'd go for something like a MB sprinter to be used only for MX.

Since money is an issue, and we don't have the space for a 2nd car or a big trailer i went for the smallest one i could find. It can even be stored against the wall.

That's going to depend on your particular budget and needs no? I figure a truck+toy hauler, or RV would be the obvious "best" due to space and comfort. But for most people a van, pick up truck, or pick up truck/SUV+small trailer will all do the job just fine.

I've done the tow behind toy hauler, which I didn't like the layout in (furniture stays folded against walls until bikes are out "Weekend Warrior"), then I did a 40' motorhome with a nice garage in the back that I liked very much.

Currently, we're using a 42' fifth wheel Nitro toy hauler being pulled by an F350 Diesel dually. It's a nice setup because it affords the opportunity top have a vehicle to use if needed without dragging your entire MX life around with you.

We've gone from a C-class motorhome with an open trailer, to a toyhauler, and now an overhead camper with a 7x10 enclosed trailer. I like the enclosed moto trailer, everything dirt bike lives in the trailer full time. Tools, spare parts, gear, tie downs, pit bike, chairs, ez up, compressor, etc. Hook up the trailer and go, the stuff is out of the weather (and out of sight). Plus you can change in the trailer so all your muddy stinky ass gear can stay out of the camper.

I am guessing to haul dirt bikes in the box of the truck? I could be wrong though?

I use this for practice days.... Like to leave the bed open and it's much easier to load/unload...



Use this on race weekends. Should've bought one years ago. Love camping out, bench racing, etc. at FTR Hare Scrambles... Wanted something small so I wouldn't have to get a new truck.
