I am definitely interested. I have 2001 20' V nose that has had enough of long hauls. It has outlasted couple trucks. These should be fine for a couple 163's and some camping gear. Aluminum is a nice touch too!

Sorry thought I had a pic for the winter travels. But just imagine a open two place instead of the boat. My dad and I traveled like this for 5 years till he 70. Its very nice and warm at minus 30 with hot shower. But it drinks propane you can bet almost 30 lbs per day weather pending. It has a slide on the other side with no issues of frost or heat loss as some claim there is without knowing the fact. Sounds gross and I know I'll get feedback but a little vaseline in the fall so the rubber does not stick to the rails. I usually get upwards of 80-90 nights in the camper per year. By the way it pulls straight as a arrow boat or sled trailer.

That's perfect for me right there!, 3 place enclosed for sleds and SxS or river boat

I dropped by the Carefree RV to have a look at the units. Only a couple units would be able haul 2- 12' long sleds, which is not to much of an issue for me. The fenders inside create a tight spot at the front, so this will require driving in 2 163's in backwards or remove the flip down chairs (10 min job). Then you might fit in a 155" parked in between.
The unit is not winter proof so you are gonna need a dry bath set up and toilet (LugaLoo).
I think this would a good setup for a qwik weeknd rip, but any longer than 3 days without a decent shower or bathing, its gonna get stinky, especially with my boys. I would recommend laying down Superglides on the aluminum floor throughout the unit for the sled to load and unload and then a roll of thick carpet thrown down for the occupants. Lots of room and pretty decent beds for 4 or 5 large guys. Lots of vents for drying stuff out, but would still bring fans to move the air around.
32K pays for a lot of hotel rooms, but would be the cats ass for a short notice trip to to get you on the hill to ride hotels or not. 2 -3 sleds in trailer plus a couple more guys with thir sled could easily handle 5 for a weekend. No hottub tho :(
