The following is a description put together by my father to sell his toterhome. He has since passed away and I am needing to move this on. He and I raced for quite a while with this rig and it always did us right. I am relatively familiar with the rig and will do my best to answer any and all questions. I do have a significant pile of receipts kept by my father. He was very meticulous about maintaining his vehicles, and this one is no exception.
Photographs of the truck and trailer can be viewed here:

I can be contacted via email at
nickhsorensen@gmail.com. The truck and trailer are located in Longmont, Colorado and are being offered with clean Nebraska titles. I am asking $95,000 for both truck and trailer. I will consider selling the trailer and truck separately, but would prefer to sell them as a unit.

Clear Nebraska Title – Salvage title
The trailer was issued a salvage title several years before I bought it, for reasons unknown to me. I suspect it was damaged by hail and totaled, then re-skinned, but I can’t confirm that. I have pulled the trailer over 10,000 miles. It tracks very straight, exhibits no unusual tire wear or other abnormal behaviors. In fact, I usually am not even aware it’s behind me until going uphill, then I might have to go a gear deeper with the trailer than without it. The trailer can easily handle two race cars, or a race car and a dingy. I raced vintage formula fords and put two race cars and a Miata in it with ease. With a little creativity driven by need, a third race car could be made to fit in the attic area.
This is a great combination for solo or small team racing. The 300-gallon fuel capacity provides for a range of a little over 2,000 miles. The truck and trailer are very easy to manage over a 4- or 5-day race weekend, and it’s a great facility for race car support. Everything on both the truck and the trailer works as it is supposed to. The truck and trailer track dead straight, and the dual axles on the toter make for an incredibly stable ride. I’m not a professional truck driver, but I found this rig to be very easy to manage on the road. It’s registered as a motorhome, so a CDL is not required, at least not in most states.
S&S has a great reputation for building solid, long-lasting conversions on Class 8 trucks. The rear of the box is tied solidly into the frame and all the storage cabinets work fine. It doesn’t creak or moan in the wind or on the road, and the most significant noise I’ve ever noticed in it while camping is buzzing from the awning straps which can be cured by putting a half-twist in them.
The big Cat engine, rated at only 455 hp, should easily be a million-plus mile engine. I have never had to add oil between changes and have never seen the level fall by more than a quart between changes. (An oil and filter change require 40 quarts of oil.) The engine starts easily from cold without smoke and runs smoothly throughout the rev range. The truck is checked over each time it’s serviced, and all recommended repair and maintenance items are completed. I’m told that the engine can be uprated to around 550 hp with new injectors and engine control systems. I have no idea whether this is advisable or not, I didn’t ever really check it out because I never felt it necessary to have more power. As it is, it will easily run 80 or 85 mph all day long, if you want it to. I usually operated it between 70 and 75 on the interstate.
The truck will come with bedding for the master bedroom and over-cab bunk, an assortment of bath and kitchen towels (all freshly laundered, of course), along with pots and pans, silverware, and dishes. All you’ll need to do before loading up and taking it to the track will be to fill the fuel, propane, and water tanks, buy some food and drinking water (and beer, probably), and head out.
