Title: Storing our 6.0 till spring

We wanted to store our 6.0 in our shed till spring. We knew it would fit. I built a platform with two articulating castors on it. It is made out of scrap wood and metal panels. It is held on to the tractor with two hooks and two bolts, These went into existing holes and I drilled no holes in tractor frame. This made it so easy to get the trailer put away. I found the trailer hitch bracket on amazon for 28 bucks.

I agree with Idlerockfarm, looks very nice. I still have another few weeks before I pack mine up.

I took the tent off and closed mine up a few hours ago. I'd put it up in the garage wet last Sunday and just didn't want to take it down. Ah, well, spring will come soon enough.

Your 6.0 looks cozy there! Our new 8.0 has to spend the winter outside. :-(

BTW, I like the tractor hookup. My husband uses a trailer dolly to move around our 8.0. We have an inclined driveway, and this saves his back.

I looked into them. We have a bit of a grade and a ramp to negotiate thus the tractor was the great solution.

LOL, here in the Phoenix valley fall and winter means it is time to go camping not time to store the camper!

My chocolate lab pup did not want to go out and pee in the yard, she did not know what that white stuff was, she was confused. QS6 getting ready to hibernate in a week or so.
