Not nearly as nice as your toy hauler, the last couple of events several of us have slept in mine. One of the nights/mornings, the temperature dropped below 30*. I'm guessing you all don't experience that too often. And this was in early November.

As long as the track has a shower facility, sleeping in an enclosed trailer is . Don't bring wife though.

I am also in the market for a trailer and have not decided between open or enclosed. Please post up trailer photos, prices paid, and impressions.

Thanks!

Add car, tools, and tires, and I'm suprised that mini-truck is rated to to it all.
That "mini" truck is a F250 diesel and can tow 12k lbs. It does just fine and gives me 13.7mpg at 60mph.
