Low height trailer

[Mike_E_]

OK, this might sound crazy, but here goes.....

Is there a trailer that's overall height is less than 7 feet while still having at least 6'3" interior height?
As I type this it seems ridiculous, but maybe it exists 🙂

Looking to find a small runabout for DW and I when we want to venture out instead of going to the RV lot we have.
Kicker is that it has to fit into my townhouse's garage.

Anyway,......discuss :

I'm 6'5 and the popup style trailers do not have a tall enough interior when popped up. I think an Aliner would work for you, but they are only tall at the center. Of course the best bet is to go find a few on Craigslist or a dealer lot and step inside.

This was my though too. Drop it onto some dolly wheels (usually sold for shops to roll cars around) and shove it into the garage dropped.

I've seen some Hi Lo's locally and they look pretty cool.

I know the parameters I was looking for were pretty much impossible to achieve but thought there might be some old-timey unit out there that would fit the bill.

That 'garage model' is something I've never seen before.

Oooohh....just had a crazy thought: air-ride suspension. Low-rider for the garage and pump 'er up for the road 🙂

Personally I would purchase a trailer that fit my needs instead of the garage and put it in storage at another location.

Air suspension mod would work - it would likely have to be an “axleless” design so it would kneel far enough. If yer handy you could make an enclosed cargo conversion that would work.

A “pop up” type would be the easier way... 6’3” would be common in the standing area one would think...

Hi Lo TTs are cool if you are willing to pop them every time a family member wants a potty stop.

Years ago RVision offered what they called a "garage model" - the tenting enclosed top section of the roof dropped down about 18" for travel & storage ...



These are rare here but common in Australia where they're called "poptops" ...

Impossible. With 6'3" interior, you only have 9" left for the frame/floor, roof, and suspension/ground clearance under the frame.

And Trailmanor, another fold out hard side trailer. Don't know the interior height.

[afidel]

Is it 7' exactly? The reason I ask is the Aliner Ascape is 6'4" interior with a 7' 5" exterior height.
