Default RV/car hauler?

I've googled so much that my fingers now hurt (SHADDUP, Dave, lol), but I can not find a used RV that has a built-in car hauler. Any leads? We can use this for (a) trips to the track/races, (b) trips around the country where we can store a daily driver, and (c) trips to the tracks where I instruct and hope to see a 993 in soon. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling that 993. Oh yea, I would like to find another, preferrably in Arctic Silver or Arena Red. Sigh . . .

Bwahahaha, I knew you couldn't resist, Dave! Hopefully you won't detract too much from the thread. I really do need a hauler. But fun in between never hurts. Oh, wait. That was just yet another lead in for you, wasn't it? Lolol.

Now back to the subject at . . . well . . . you know!

Try googling "Toy Haulers". They are usually for ATVs and Bikes but some of them are capable of toting cars.

There was a guy from Canada that had a nice "toy hauler" at the WG PCA CR this year. He was carrying his 911 around in it and it looked like a very nice compromise way of traveling. The rig was still very large. My concern was room for carrying spares as the car compartment area was probably only 14-16'. That doesn't leave much space for more than the car.

The go big idea is what we're trying to avoid, actually. The RV idea is better for registration purposes, and you don't have to have what Florida calls a "chauffeurs license." I have no idea why they call it that, but it's what you must have to drive/tow more than three axles. Thanks for the advice so far, though. And thanks for callng me hot lips, Dave. Lol.

Are you certain the "three axles" is a combination of the tow vehicle and the trailer. In my area, no CDL needed by many friends who have Toters, three axle motor-homes (Monacos), etc., all towing two or three axle trailers. They tow in many States, including Florduh, with no CDL or any other special license.

I may have misunderstood it, Bob . . . I'll ask John. I think it means not more than three axles per vehicle? So that you could have a three axled tow vehicle plus up to three axles in-tow. But I'll ask to be sure. It could very well be that I misunderstood. It won't be the first time.
