I road race an old NASCAR Winston Cup car. I've been using Suburban 1500 and 24' enclosed trailer. I spend too much time hooking the Suburban to the trailer, jacking up the trailer, getting the lumber yard out to roll the car into the trailer, loading the equipment, etc. etc. If we stay overnight, that is a night in the hotel.

I would like to get a used semi-tractor with a lengthened frame to accomodate 12' sleeper/living quarters, 22' garage, and a lift gate.

Has anyone done this? Owned one? Know of one for sale? Anyone have a line on who builds the lift gates on the NASCAR haulers? Pros and Cons?

Thanks for the help.
