I wouldn't. To much weight behind the axle, it'll get you killed or someone else.

Best is to go with a open type trailer. What Im talking about is a flatbed trailer that has a camper up front. You could build your own like this, or assemble is rather. Take a smaller TT or popup and attach to a flatbed sized to your choice. Or some rv dealers actually carry something like this. I have seen some toy haulers, I think from featherlite, that have living quarters with storage in back that may fit a jeep, though being featherlite they are liable to be pricey.

I did not say in a 4 wheeler version...
I want to know if anybody actually makes one rated for that kinda weight???
is a enclosed hallmark with front live in quarters the only way???

you mean like this???

This Member "drillpipe" set-up...
I talked to him about it sounds cool...but I want to know what other options are out there???

Yea. As far as I know, only those and the featherlites I mentioned are out there, though you can probably find more. We shopped toyhaulers for a few weeks last summer. IMO, most of the toyhauler TTs were really basic inside. We ended up getting a front compartment for the bikes because of the how nice it was. But With the weight ratings I saw on them, I dont know that a normal tt's frame is capable. Good luck searching though.

Campmaster trailers would do the job I think they have them up to 40' (5er) but you wouldn't need one that long for a jeep

40ft triple 6K axles based on a 27.5 ft 5th wheel...Could not find anything built as good as this for my purpose. I put the axle way back pin weight is your friend....most fivers have the axles too far forward for my liking.

A local RV dealer sells flatdeck trailers with tent trailers mounted sideways on the front of them......

Check out cargomates. They can be ordered with 4 different floor plans.

Check out Roadmaster. They make some nice stuff. I looked at a triple axle 42 or 48' model (not to buy, just looking) and it had a 12' living area. It was a gooseneck.

Aluminum Trailer Co. has several models that can handle one. The t6 model has over 6,000 lb payload capacity, and the construction quality is as good as it gets.

There was a nice article in Off-Road Magazine a month or two (maybe three) ago. It shows a lifted jeep being loaded/unloaded.

Edit: Found the article. It's in the May, 2007 Off-Road

Check out these Work and Play Cargo Trailers, they all have cargo capicities of 4k to 5k and they are just like a camper inside.
