Ultimate 5th wheel trailer hooks up to the roof of your car
When it comes to automotive accessories, we have seen people create some pretty wild gadgets. From the minor little handheld tools designed to help you with random tasks to larger objects like this weird trailer, there is an automotive accessory for just about anything that you can think of and even some for objectives that you would have never thought possible!
This time, we check out a trailer, that unlike normal trailers, attaches to your tow rig using the roof as a sort of fifth wheel to secure the pull behind. As if that isn’t kooky enough, there is another fastener on the rear end of the trailer to tow behind yet another trailer!
Check out the camper fifth wheel as it’s attached to a larger SUV that looks to be an older Chevrolet Suburban. The Suburban seems to tow it around with ease and it appears to distribute the weight a little bit better than a traditional setup while doing it. On any kind of long trip, however, we feel bad for whatever transmission is in that truck, though! We can smell the burn already.
Check out the video below that shows the wild trailer design and tell us if you think that this is something that would ever catch on in any sort of mainstream capacity. It seems to have failed on its first try but maybe with some modern retooling, it could be worth a shot. Personally, I’m not sure that I could ever see something like this going down the road on a regular basis.
