Double decker trailer

whiskyb · 07-08-2013, 04:24 AM

I have been trying to find the picture of the double decker trailer behind a motorhome (caravan) I believe it was a European picture from the plate. The trailer was a open one with a Porsche on the lower level and a boat up top.

I am considering doing something like this for my 911 and Zodiac.

If anyone has that picture it would be great. As well as anyone that has any design thoughts on building one

Thanks,

I've seen it too. It's in the TRANSPORTATION thread. Good luck.

They need to back that trailer a long way in to the lake to get that boat to float.....

The design looks funny as the uprights are tapered in towards the top. Not sure how the top level goes up and down. I do see a cable but thats about it. I want to put a golf cart up there hooked to my 12' zodiac.

Looks to me like the cradle under the boat slides back and is lowered once behind the main frame.
I wouldn't be putting a golf cart up there if it were me. Too heavy with the batteries and such.

I think the front uprights are leaning to the rear. Angle of the photo gives a distorted view.

Gas cart, not electric. Here is an example of a bigger unit

Hope the windows on the truck are closed prior to launching the boat.

I am the admin for the Honda Marine Facebook page...shared this image back in April, and it was hugely popular...many comments re: inflatable said "more power."

The red cover on the prop is evidently a legal requirement during transport.

Anyone know for sure the likely location/country? Is the "D" sticker lower left of the trailer = Deutschland ? Also notice the single red rear fog lamp...is that a German-only thing?
