GF's parents use a Monster Hauler, a really heavy steel rack, with 2 utility ATV's, and they tow like a 32' travel trailer (snow birding).

They have a single rear wheel 3500 Cummins powered Dodge, replaced the stock hitch with a stronger one, and they use a weight distributing hitch with sway control. The one ton also required air bags, and I would guess is over it's rear axle weight.

Anyway, that works really well for them. The advantage is once they have the trailer set in the park (where it stays all winter) they can take the ATV's and pickup for a day trip in another area where you can't ride ATV's to from the park.

Myself, I used to run a SRW 3500 Dodge with a 30' seperate garage 5th wheel toyhauler.

Typical of many RV's it is a little less than 8' wide inside, so to get two utility ATV's in they have to be turned sideways. Although I could do both by myself, the second one was a real bear. The first one was easy, up on the flat floor, but the 2nd one starts from 1/2 on the steep ramp, and the lugs of the tires tended to catch the transision of the ramp/floor.

I eventually installed a mini-jib crane on a piece of 1/2" plate bolted to the frame. It could be used to lift the rear of the quad so you could swivel it in.

Now I've got a 3500 dually and a 40' 5th wheel with a 14' seperate garage. I could probably pull the first machine in kind of diagonal, and pull a second straight in.

Usually, however, I turn the first one by hand, then carry another utility straight in on one side, and a BMW R1200GS Adventure on the other.

Naturally, if I want to haul quads to a trailhead that I can't legally ride them to, I have to break camp. I'd also better know in advance that I can turn a rig of that size around at the trail head.

On the plus side, 5th wheels tow very nicely, and when I get home, I just unhitch in my yard and maybe take some tension off the straps.

With a rack, you still have to unload and find room in the garage if you want the quads out of the weather.
