I have an old enclosed ramp truck that i use to haul my drag boat inside of. Recently, I considered converting the inside of it into living quarters and then towing a trailer behind it with the boat inside. Seemed like a solid idea until i hooked the trailer to it. It rode horribly and didn't have enough power to climb hills very well. The CAT diesel makes 250hp and 640 lb/ft of torque My current setup works but unless I go to the expense of retrofitting an air suspension and adding another 300 lb/ft of torque to it, I can't see myself continuing to use tow the trailer behind it. On flat ground it will run 75 mph with power to spare, when i encounter a hill, I'm pretty much climbing it at 30 mph with the pedal on the floor.
who's got experience towing a 32ft or larger enclosed car trailer behind an RV or toterhome? I'm Looking for recommendations for a solid used rig at least 30ft long that will ride good and have plenty of power to go up hills. My guess is that it will need at least 900 lb-ft of torque. thanks for the advice.
