Sure looks nice and I will look into it. Long *** haul; to go get it. Maybe it can come with a CUP car?
Mine is also 8000lbs, but I doubled up on aluminum posts, wall thickness and extruded floor.

Anyway, now its gone.. Too bad, it was like new after 200K miles.
Picture of Aero nose, my favorite feature:

TPD has super smooth walls, awesome features, best cabinets, foldable table and seats, you can make it a nice party place, not the mess you had before.

Generators are hidden away, ladders to sit on the roof and watch race from there.

Listen to Mooty, he had a TPD, and I have witnessed many TPD on the West Coast, best trailer, period.
HAD tpd?
i still have a 44' tpd.
this is my 4th TPD.
there's a reason i keep buying the same brand.

wait, your alum trailer is 8000 lbs? that's too heavy.
i think i am about 8k empty.

the 36' i sold to pjs has a V nose. expensive option. use that and add a 16" extender on the nose, in my short bed truck, i can go full lock and drive in circles, wont crush cabin. unlike you, i can't back the trailer, i make full lock U turns, nothing hits anything.

i have towed my 44' with 2500hd shortbed duramax as well as 3500 dually duramx long bed. you will have no prob towing with two cars in it. i know b/c ..... well..... i let's just say i was late, and i chased down a RS4.0 on the fwy. really freaked that driver out

GOTO RACING BOARD AND SEARCH FOR 24CHROMIUM'S TRAILER JOURNAL.
you will be amazed.
there is nothing to servcie on the trailer. axles are the ubiquitous brands, which of course i cannot remember right now.. the trailer is just a box. go for it.

Yup, same here I can kink it more than 90 degree's.
I never weight it buy I have stupid amount of frame rails, uprights and roof support.
My last trailer's I beams broke a few times and it was so bowed out it looked like a tanker so I went a bit overboard on this one

Its not the weight, its the aero that matters. Not many hills and I make enough speed on the way to the hill that the Cummins doesn't have enough RPMs to downshift LOL.

I'll look up the specs as I got the equivalent quoted on a Renegade and it's 58K.
Bigger 60" side double doors, double strong everything pointy nose, airline track, extruded floor, pre wired for 110V and AC, hidden remote winch, 6 LED Brake/turn signal lights, 4 backup lights and top and bottom lights every 3' an LED as well, 2 airline tracks and 5 E tracks all the way around, dove tail with 10' of foldable on ramp, hydraulic landing gear, 7' inside height, 24 recessed lights running on both 110V and 12V with track running, 2 nose generator doors and the most expensive heavy duty tires you can get, regrooveable, Tripple 7K axles, disc brakes. I think that's it.

I can basically jack knive the rig and still wont touch the cabin. The taper on nose is more agro than yours.

It’s probably the widest trailer allowable legally. 85” b/n wheel well, 98” b/n walls.

My 44’ has double door totally 5’

You can opt for airline track, D ring, or E track. Just show them the money. Tell victor at TPD john sent you. He knows I am crazy so will assume you are as well. He is crazy too.

Floor is composite white, slippery. They can spray truck liner at $8/sf, you wil go broke for 44’. Take std floor, drive to FL, have linex done on it. Better cheaper.

Their AC is weak. Have them frame and wire for AC, goto FL and find your guy put in the gnarliest AC you want. But 44’ I would put 2 or 3 AC units.

110V can be prewired to generator. They have a side slide out. It will only fit 3000 watt sized generator. I don’t think that’ swnough for 44’, have them put trailer up at the nose, sealed with door open outside like your previous trailer. Get two of those, you need 6000 watts minimum if you want icy AC., micro wave, coffee maker, *** warmer *** cooler…

all brake lights are LED standard. You can add more led on the side for extra money, 3 per side included in base price. It’s like Porsche. you can pay 50,000 in option easy. Sky is the limit. I MEAN IT.

E trak and such, just pay and they will install.

Landing gear is hydraulic standard even though it shows it’s optional on their site. They are not computer savvy, worst than mooty, imagine that.

12v wired dome lights are std.
7’ int ht is std

44’ has 7k triple std

you can opt for the G series tires you have right now. I have it on 36’ pjs has now.

Yes, disc brake is possible, I have it on 36’. But 44’ has drum which is just as good.

Call me should you want more info. I charge small fee ;-)
I don’t drink beer.
Can be bribed with 100 oct fuel or Michelin n1 slicks.

There's a little Mooty history here that needs explaining:

1. Mooty buys 20' TPD, keeps for a year and sells it
2. Mooty buys 24' TPD, keeps for a year, sells to PJS
3. Mooty buys 36' TPD, keep for a year, sells to PJS
4. PJS sells 24' TPD to Leigh2
4 Mooty buys 44' TPD, keeps for a year...still has it...but there has to be another in the works...
53' semi maybe??

So I buy the 24' which is loaded with cabinets, N racks, E track, work bench, generator cabinet, built in tool box etc. and I ask both PJS and Mooty why they are going larger...for DE's...they both (obscurely) refer to the California DE CUP trailer battle going on there...TPD being the winner so far
