In search for a car hauler in the 24' range, preferably not longer, but also not too short. 

It needs to have a bathroom and a small kitchen. Really looking for at least 15' of cargo, and 102" wide.

I know there aren't too many of these floating around but if someone has one they are willing to part with let me know

How about buying a 24 or 25 ft toyhauler and just removing the beds. You can probably find an older one cheaper than a newer enclosed with the bathroom and kitchen added. Plus it will have air conditioning, maybe even a genny.

That’s what I currently have. Problem is I have to take off all 4 wheels, strap the front end, winch it in backwards, and every trip I tear something up on the trailer. Really just looking to simplify my setup so I can do 2 day weekends and not take 2 hours to pack up

Is the enclosed trailer wider than a toy hauler on the inside?

That’s what I’m looking for. My current 24’ fun runner is 86” inside door width, I’m looking for 96” inside door width. Currently I have to take my hubs off, put special made trailer tires on, and strap the front end. My car is 94” wide up front

I think if you find a toy hauler that's 102" wide, the inside width will be 96".

Unfortunately I've never seen a toy hauler in the 24' range that is 102" wide. If anyone knows of an MFG that made one please let me know

IIRC the widest allowable width by the NHTSB is 102".  anything wider & you have to have a permit to run on public roads (and if its wider than something something else, you have to have an escort with the permit.  this is why the 102" magic number.  the trick is finding a mfg that will make the door opening as wide as they can w/o making it weak...

I have three electrical bids on my desk right now that are from either earlier this year ( Feb ) or from April and May of last year.  They all are going up about 20% and my mark up is going down if I want the jobs. Plus I get to tell them don't even think of having any of the light fixtures for about 2 months after we are approved and the panel boards and Service section are 2 months out minimum.

The job I was awarded on Friday was supposed to be completed over the Thanksgiving Weekend I was told by my lighting vendor No a shot in hell to get the fixtures here by then, Maybe Christmas and that was a big Maybe.
