just a couple of questions:

1) what is the weight rating of the receiver hitch on the back of the trailer? i am interested in attaching a motorcycle carrier (abt 500 lbs.) total

2) what are the storage compartment dimensions, not including the galley?

thanks!

I can't give you exact dimensions but I can tell you the front compartment can hold up to 8 Front Runner boxes. I don't own a Turtleback, yet, but have been in the shop and tested the amount of boxes it should be able to hold. I have seen them install a 63qt ARB fridge on heavy duty slides and it took up 3/4 of the space. So just to give you an idea. There is plenty of storage room unless you try to fill it with a bunch of odd ball shapes and sizes which reduces its efficiency.

You can stack the Front Runner boxes 3 high I believe, W 510mm (20") x L 400mm (15.7") x H 230mm (9").

I am thinking putting that much weight on the back would be a bad idea. What would that do to your tongue weight of the trailer? Check out the Turtlback Trailer site and you can see photos of them being built. There is the front cargo area, the middle is the water tank, some electrical and plumbing and the rear is the galley.

I'm not an expert. You might want to shoot Dave at Turtleback Trailers a note and ask him.

Edit: I went ahead and asked Dave. The wheelbase of the trailer is too short to do something like this.

Possibly. Pm me if you are seriously interested, and we can discuss.
