Anyone ever put a 158" on a car hauler?

OUTLAW SPRINTER!!!
Just curious. I've been shopping for a "deal" :lol:

Ran across a couple that "need work", which is the sorta thing I get into sometimes. :crazy::crazy: But would have to tow the home.

Thing is, I have a 18' dovetail dual axle car hauler. The math is so close it *might* fit. Basically, with the nose at the front of the trailer the rear wheels should just barely be on. With the nose over the front edge of my deck I could get the wheels further up the deck.

Anyone actually done it.

Yup. When mine broke down once, I had it up on one. The whole Sprinter behind the rear wheels hangs off the back really far, the rear wheels jusr barely are on the tow vehicle.

Yeah, I kinda figured it would extend beyond the trailer at least 4-5' depending on how far forward I could get it.

Any pictures. Any idea of the tongue weight? (Since there won't be much room for adjustment)

No pictures. I was too upset and didn't feel like recording the breakdown, 2 days into a vacation with the wife at the time. :)

Not exactly the same thing but I have had my 02 158" towed a couple of times on a flatbed tow truck. Usually a tight fit on a AAA tow truck.

One of the times the Sprinter could not be loaded nose-first. The tail-first loading resulted in the front tires hanging off the sloping lip of the tow bed about halfway. I was dubious but it was well chained and did not budge from that precarious position when towed.
