Thanks Mark
I'd also thought of going this route, found some pics on shutter stock. Had a good pic of a horse trailer from the rear, and three [different] donkeys that I had put together. At 95 bucks an hour to edit it was going to add almost 400 to the bill.


....the ass thing started to get expensive.

So my rear tires were getting tired...weather cracked as it were.
1/4 inch crack between the bead and rim, hard to see...so they had to go.
replaced the 10R 22.5's with 295/75 22.5's and added wheel balancers.
Scrapped the all four rears and sold the fronts for 200 bucks.

So I changed the decal from "built half ass", to "toy hauler"...
...changed the locks/handles on bathroom doors, were a bit of a bitch to open.
...added some more logistic track for securing "stuff".
...finished installing electrical box for taillights and ran electrical down left side for shore power to rear.
...added a ladder rack to the rear door.

Got the ATV ramps for the rear beds finished. Welded in 3/8 inch aluminum rod for pins to keep them in place and easy removal.
E-Track on both sides to keep mattresses against wall when ATV inside

Did some camping on the weekend, like real camping no ATV.
I don't think the camp site had ever seen a skoolie, could have given tours all weekend long.


Young couple showed up with new Jeep and trailer, fallowed by the OPP.Half dozen of us drinkin and wondering what all the fuss was....turns out it was his first trip with the trailer he bought three weeks ago. He hit the building at the entrance punching a hole right through the roof smashing the cupboards inside. Was watching side to side and not up. Felt bad for the guy... Pay attention skoolies have a bit of height

Nothing like having the PD & FD show up to calm a party right down!
Good cautionary tale on the hazards of being high while driving...

Anyone in Ontario Canada interested in a Toy Hauler M/H / camper?


Don't really want to sell it...but.


Let me know if there is any more info wanted...


Asking 20k...y'all know how fast money gets spent building these things.
