Haha yeah I don't think its crazy at all. People spend huge cash for sticks and staples toy haulers that can collapse so easily. Sure they look a lot nicer and more finished, but I prefer function...

Hey BN,

Where in Canada? I haven't checked Kijiji in a while but that is where I found my bus. Most of them are overpriced so you really have to be picky, at least in AB from when I was looking. ...

Great question and I'll be looking at a similar challenge in the future when I do my tires and balance the daytons.

If memory serves me right, I had about 9' from the back to the back of the wheel wells - which is now my toy hauler deck :)
The wheel wells were maybe 8-10" tall
