HM 6Place w/SnoCaps Cover
HM (Home Made) started with 30' old camper frame. Rebuilt axles / electric brakes. Relocated rear axle back 2' to make the rear of the trailer better supported, also helps take the sway out of the trailer on the road. One thing that that just kinda happened is that the tire track/width is the same as a normal truck / SUV, not a big deal until you pull a trailer across North Dakota in 4" of snow with it wanting to pull you either in the ditch or across the other lane. Redid hitch, made it so it can extend & retract, did this so it can be pulled with a number of different trucks / SUVs, even a short box with a 8' sled deck in it. Made wheel wells over the 15" tire & rims, can pull at 80+ without a worry of exploding a tire. 5/8 plywood floor. Added 2' V nose for drive off. (Although I don't like to open the front when it is covered with road crap/slush just ask the guys on the last ride about the freak out session one morning in Big Sky, LOL, in the end all was well.) Discount Ramps ramp track front & rear. Stainless Steel sides. LED lighting inside & out. SnoCaps Cover w/ Bump outs for the Long Trackers . Long & Low, cuts through the wind & pulls like a dream. Without showing my check book I have about half of what you can buy a used 6 place with a cover in it. We just took 6 sleds from Central Wisconsin to Big Sky, MT with no problems. It's a bit of a challenge to get the 6th sled in it with the wheel wells but with 18-19 hours one way you make it work. I guess I'm kinda proud, made something out of nothing, Just thought some of you would want to see it.

Nice setup!


How does the cap do for flapping on the freeway? Looks like it is strung pretty tight:D
 
Cover Flapping

Cover doesn't flap at all, not to sound stupid, but it's not to tight not to loose just right, sorry, don't take it the wrong way I hope you are laughing with me. Seriously the Cover is really really nice. The back doesn't even flop around. Not very high 57" inside height, a little bit of a pain when loading/unloading but makes up for it when you are pulling it and you don't know it is back there.
 
I've been looking at those caps. How does the two flaps on back work? Do you unhook them and then the end of the sleds go through them? I'm assuming that is it, but want to make sure. How far off the end do the two sleds sit? Thanks.
 
I think it looks great! Nothing wrong with saving a buck & making something out of nothing into something that you can use. Dont really need heat, the sport takes action in the snow, not the trailer like some think. Sure there isnt really any secrutiy, but neither does the open place trailer or deck. Likely get better mileage as tarp will weight less than enclosed trailer.
 
Rear Bump Outs

Moat with a Rope,
The bump outs are 34" long or 34" past the back flap. They are like a square box sewed onto the back door/flap. We had a 151 & a 153 in the back when we went west & they hung out about 2'. I had a 162 in the back before & it hung out a little more. I can get some more pictures & post.
 
That would be excellent if you had a couple of more pics. I'm considering doing or buying something similar from Snocaps and haven't been able to see anything yet, just a picture in my head. I've got a 14' trailer in which the 3rd sled sticks off quite a bit. Not sure the distance it sticks out yet(I'm guessing 3 or 4'), I'll have to measure next time I get 3 loaded and headed west. But if you have any more pictures I would appreciate it. Thanks.
 
Does the cover come with gas mask's!!!!! Damm Im getting a headache from all the smoke. Hmmm open the front. LOL
