Well, lots of people have asked, so here’s some detailed information on the River Ranger:

This is a DUAL USE Unit – For Work N Play – Perfect for landscapers, painters, carpenters, plumbers, window installers, surveyors,  handyman, debris haulers, movers, kayakers, paddle boards, fishing, hunters, camping, surfers, atv’s, snowmobiles, motorcycles etc.

My Black Lab Reggie and I love to fish, camp, hike and photograph the great outdoors. I also work. I needed a multi-use trailer I could use for my landscape business – as well as for trout fishing, camping, drifting rivers – and outdoor photography excursions (BEAR-PROOF – meaning – Grizzly Bears) and floating rivers with a pontoon boat, river raft or kayaks. Thus, the idea for River Ranger was born. I designed the trailer and used subcontractors for the sheet metal work.

This rig is set up for accessing rivers and remote areas…and camping in a bear proof/weather proof unit. It is a one or two person unit. It is NOT designed for people who desire a traditional RV – carting all the creature comforts of your home into the outdoors. Frankly, for me, leaving those creature comforts behind is one important dimension of the beauty of getting away. Perhaps you feel the same way…and desire a multi-functional unit that you can tow easily and safely with an SUV – and avoid the price of those damn traditional RV’s — see the itemized features of the River Ranger below the photo section:

This is a DUAL USE Unit – For Work N Play – Perfect for landscapers, painters, carpenters, plumbers, window installers, surveyors,  handyman, debris haulers, movers, kayakers, paddle boards, fishing, hunters, camping, surfers, atv’s, snowmobiles, motorcycles etc.

SALE PRICE $7,000.00

  1. Cost – approximately $10,000. Comparable RV products start at around $14,000.
  2. Interior Size is 5 x 10 – perfect to sleep two people and their pets.
  3. Interior height is 7 feet – you can stand up without whacking your head. Interior lighting options available – I just use a headlamp to keep it simple. Exterior height from pavement to the top of boat rack is 10 feet exactly.
  4. Insulated with R18 foam panel insulation – with walls and ceiling sealed in quarter inch, stained plywood.
  5. The interior has a bracket system for all your outdoor gear, bedding, fishing rods, tools, ice chests and foodstuffs. I like to pull over at a nice piece of water and have six rods rigged up in the trailer, mounted on the walls – so I can just grab one and get the damn fly in the water.
  6. Rear door ramp can be closed from the trailer’s interior via a pulley system.
  7. Upper rear door can be locked from both the inside and outside.
  8. Rear door access ramp has slip resistant coating.
  9. We camp, hike, fish and enjoy photography in the Tetons and the Rockies – oftentimes – in areas populated by Grizzly Bears – where soft-sided camping is NOT ALLOWED. Thus, the 11 gauge sheet metal. The River Ranger trailer is Grizzly Bear Proof and is a unit that complies where soft-sided camping is NOT allowed due primarily to bear activity. See soft-sided camping prohibitions in Yellowstone, Banff, etc. Soft-sided refers to all tents and any vans, campers or trailers that have soft-sided pop-outs. Don’t think this prohibition is limited to National Parks. It’s common sense if you’re in bear country and desire a safe and serene sleep.
  10. The roof has pvc rollers over the metal piping that allows for carrying 4 kayaks, one inflated 14 ft. river raft like the Outcast PAC 1400, or a 14 ft. inflatable pontoon boat – Like the Outcast Pac 1200. Easy loading and off loading – just bring along a 4 step step ladder.
  11. The trailer is equipped with 8 ply radial tires and a spare tire.
  12. A 5,000 lb. axle provides high clearance for Forest Service roads and the heavy duty suspension that navigating to remote wilderness locations requires – as well as superior load handling.
  13. The trailer is equipped with trailer brakes.
  14. Trailer is equipped with LED safety lighting/running lights on the front and two sides.
  15. The floor is covered with three quarter inch plywood, above the base floor of two by sixes.
  16. The rooftop carrier can also carry ladders and supplies. For photographers and those who enjoy wildlife viewing – the rooftop of the trailer can be accessed via ladder to enjoy a superb, elevated viewing/photography platform.
  17. Safety striping and reflective tape/emblems adorn the unit.
  18. The trailer is secure.
  19. The trailer is waterproof.
