Toyhauler

Welcome to my Toy Hauler Project. This particular trailer dubbed the Hellier Hauler is in loving memory of the late Robert A. Hellier (my father). This Trailer has a brand new title, can be financed, and can be insured for full value. For any additional questions, please email me at danhellier@aol.com
To give a quick overview, the trailer, (16 foot) has a bed that folds up, and the bed also folds out into a dinette. It has a 12000 B.T.U air conditioner, a retractable t.v. antennae with amplifier, hot water tank (6 gal), a 12 volt battery system with battery lights, battery exhaust fan, and battery operated 16 gallon fresh water tank. It has a 20 gallon holding tank, a refrigerator, microwave, sink, 110 volt track lighting system, industrial style coin mat floor, an awning, and a few things I added along the way. The final price is negotiable. $11,995.00 was the orginal asking price. Call or email for current price and mention whatever trades you might have. When the trailer was delivered it was 2,675 pounds. I added 850 pounds to it, bringing it to just 3,500 pounds, with a max weight of 7,000 pounds. It will easily accommodate two Harleys (even one of them being a chopper) or two 4-wheelers. If you haven't already, please stop by NC RV Solutions, home of "Trick My Trailer" at www.trickmytrailer.org or call 919-522-6731
We are located in Raleigh N.C.
The next trailer is ready in GA. It's almost identical to this one, 16 ft. V-nose, 30 inch windows and similar doors. The base price of the trailer is $5,000.00 If anyone wants to have this one custom built with as little or as much as you want, make sure to email me at danhellier@aol.com or find me at www.trickmytrailer.org

Dan,
You did a great job on this toy hauler! I think I'd like to get an estimate for some work I need done on a truck camper. Thanks

Hi Dan, Your trailer is looking great. I hope I get to see it before it's gone. I'm sure it won't last long. Keep up the great work!

Hey it looks good, I have a question for you, how much does it weight and how much can it carry? I love the idea and the fact that you are not to far away. One more question do I buy a trailer and then bring it to you or do you buy the trailer and start from there? Thanks and it looks great.

Looks like you are off to a good start. What are the ideas you are using to keep the weight low? Hi Gary. Well a few things, only painting the walls vs going over them with paneling. There will be 3 nice wood grain looking cabinets going in. They're actually plastic, very light weight, and supposedly hold 30 pounds per shelf. You will see that most of the componets will be on the floor, not elevated in cabinets. Not the most convienent, but cost and weight effective. The airconditioner can be removed and left at home the months of the year that you don't need it. This is very popular. It takes up a little floor space, but who wants 150 pounds of airconditioner in the middle of winter. The fold out bed is made with a light weight steel frame. Very Sturdy yet very light. That's enought info for now. Keep checking back. Thanks Dan
