Yeah that's true... Or you could just grab a tape measure

Just play'n with you ALJO. I don't listen to the naysayers too closely either.

Cheers.

The 4-Wheelers wouldn’t fit side-by-side without the front wheels sitting on top of the camper wheel wells. In order for all the front wheels to be at the same level, I build a ramp for the two center wheels. I also build ramps/covers for the outside wheels over the carpet covered wheel wells to make it easier to drive up them and keep the carpet clean from the dirty tires.
I used the Jayco cargo area carpet as floor protection under the ramps and rear tires. I cut holes in the carpet for access to the six floor mounted hold downs.
The tube thing is simply a floor rug that’s rolled up and out of the way for the 4-Wheelers.

Well done. I did something very similar in a friend of mine's enclosed trailer so we could get 6 machines inside it. That space under the wheelers is great for storing things like fold up camping chairs n the like.

One dealer I called flat out told me it couldn’t be done. Also told me I was crazy to pull it with a half ton truck. I think it was because he did have one in stock, though.
I did my homework and took measurements from a 222 (only thing local I could find). They actually fit nicely.
