  • A trailer for the Porsche. Or?

    Posted by Ronald on February 1, 2015 at 10:24 am

    Should it read … A Porsche for the trailer?

    All of us have read about the PITA of towing a trailer. Sometimes, though, it cannot be avoided. For instance, when your toad is a 911 which cannot be towed 4 down.

    So … here is my solution.

    Porsche Trailer

    I am so confused. Does the coach go on the trailer then?

    If you will check out my avatar, you will see that I do not have a Porch on a trailer, I have a Porch on my RV!

    Boxcar used to be a house painter, but at his last job he was given a paint brush and a bucket of paint and told to paint the Porch in back. After a couple of hours Boxcar returned and said that he had put two coats of paint on the Porch. After being congratulated for such dedication in his work, Boxcar continued with “But you are wrong, that ain’t no Porche,… it’s a Ferrari!”

    Then it looks like this.


    The trailer hitch receiver on the Porsche is hidden behind a flip-up license plate!

    What is the reason for this madness? Well, if I have to unhook and park the trailer away from the bus, then I use the Porsche to move it. Works quite well.

    Neat. Was just thinking, a tow hitch on a 911. Oh dear! Cracking solution though.

    Huh … I’ve never thought of using a Porsche 911 as a “yard spotter”.

    We see Corvettes with hidden trailer hitches at the race track for track days and high speed autocross. They pull little two wheel trailers with the racing tires, tools, jack, and air compressor.

    I paddocked next to a guy a couple of years ago who was able to haul four racing tires on wheels, a Craftsman aluminum racing jack, small set of tools, two jack stands, and some wood (paddocking on grass) all in a Corvette! I watched him unload in the morning and then again load up at the end of the day. He had everything organized just right!

    This short video captured a 911 towing a camper on the French autobahn.

    It is apparent we have a problem. Ron might need some remedial assistance because he is attempting to apply logic to something related to Prevost ownership. Obviously he isn’t one of us.

    I do totally fail to comprehend your comment.

    Your reasoning behind the addition of a hitch receiver on the Porche makes perfect sense. Since the ownership of a Prevost motor home makes almost no sense and none of us can justify it other than to say we wanted one, your use of logic in adding the hitch is inconsistent with anything else we do relating to Prevost coaches.

    Poor attempt to say good idea in a hunorous way.

    Great idea with a hidden hitch and moving the trailer problem has been solved.

    It’s hidden. Obviously he doesn’t want us to see it.

    Since you asked so nicely … here are photos.

    Now you see it:

    and now you don’t:

    The hidden receiver is located behind the license plate:

    This hitch and various accessories are being manufactured by a company in California.

    Is that a camera hidden in that center cutout? If so, then…KOOOOOOL!
