Well this weekend was my first time to use my rtv. I was coming from a rhino and was a little skeptical of how much I would like it. I opted for a camo with a cab and a 4k lb warn winch. We spent most of the day doing some dozer work but I did take enough time to make sure it would go around my place. The only thing that I think I will want as of right now would be a hand throttle. After about 30 minutes my foot started getting tired of holding a constant throttle. So far I'ld say that I am definitely pleased. This morning I carried the boys out in the rain and we setup a deer feeder with a game cam on it to see what made it through the season and we were all surprised with how easily it handled some mud/water.

Anyway here is a couple pics of my rtv on the trailer. I recently redid this whole trailer as well. It has new bearings/fenders/tires/paint/wiring/led lights.......I've been a busy fella getting my trailers all fixed back up. This trailer is probably 12-13 years old and fixing it back up really made it look like a new trailer.

That is a nice looking rtv and the trailer too. I need to get a trailer like yours to haul my rtv. The one I have will barely haul it.
I like the doors on your rtv. They look good on it. Hope you have a lot of good times with the rtv!

I drove it out on a 5x10 and it is too much for my trailer. I am probably going to have to always haul it on the larger trailer.

It fits good on that trailer and with the duals you don't have to worry about the trailer weaving.
Is the camo roof metal or plastic? Mine is plastic and I was wondering if they made one out of metal to work with the side doors.

I believe the entire cab is metal. I was told by the dealer that the cabs are made by curtis cabs. It is a nice setup.

Answers to some ???s

V4241 Engine Hand Throttle Kit is available with a list price of $62.00.

RTV1100 due out around April-May.

Metal camo roof is only available with the steel cab. Soft cab comes with orange roof & fabric camo cover.

We haul them sometimes on a 3500lb 6X12 single axle trailer, but you have to balance the weight just right and it still doesn't "feel" right.
Pulls much better on a Dbl axle trailer.
