Default Looking at small Toterhome to pull the race boat

The boats a 30ft Superstock Cat on a triple axle steel trailer, the trailer weights almost as much as the boat.. LOL. But I can pull the sucker pretty easy now with my 5.4V8 3/4 Ton Van so I dont think I need a monster Freightliner and I'll only be towing maybe 8k miles pr year.


I would like something small so I can move the boat around the pits easy but also something I can sleep in with a small bathroom.

Option 1 :
1987 INTERNATIONAL S-1700 TOTERHOME
HONDA ES 4500 GENERATOR
AIR CONDITIONING
COUCH
MICROWAVE
TV/VCR
AM/FM/CD
232540 MILES

One each I would think we would have to fab a shop area for tools and parts, I was even thinking about a Box Van like we used for Motocross back in the day that way I could build a small shop area in the back for tools, props, extra powerhead and lowers.

Whats everyone using in SBI ? I sure as hell cant afford a full on semi with 53ft Trailer ...

I already have a Full Size Ext. Van that I have been using. It's set up with a small sleeping area and shop but you just cant walk around and it would be the same with the sprinters.

Plus those sprinters are $$$$ I can pick up those two above toters for around 10k.

Wife is after me to buy something we can use to bring the dog along, we havent vacationed together in years. But I just cant justify another gashog, plus the extra ins. and reg. Would rather just pay for hotels, but then again, I can sleep at home for most races, or at least be within a 3 hour ride.
