Hello all! I just bought my PA 14 last week. I bought the bed extender to get it home and to the lake. I also have a 37' bumper pull travel trailer that I take to the lake. I'm thinking about getting a bed rack. My truck is a Dodge ram 2500 4x4 6.5 bed. Will the T loader help load it or should I invest in a small winch to help. Any comments or pictures would help. I'm sure this has been talked about before but haven't found anything on here.

I have the same issue. F-150 with 5.5ft bed, 29ft trailer, and a PA12.

I'm considering a bed rack but think I may need a bed rack and cab rack since it is a short bed. I'm also concerned that I can get it on and off the rack without killing myself. I'll have my wife to help but I'm still concerned about how difficult it will be.

I have an 8' longbed F350, and I bought the hitch receiver bed extender without thinking. with the PA14 slid al the way in, I don't even need the T-Bar, I just ratchet strap from under one bumper, through the rear PA14 handle bar, and back down to the other side of the bumper, and pull tight. Works like a charm, and free's up the hitch. That being said, the tailgate is still down and the PA14 sticks out quite a lot, but I have some ideas for what I can still pull behind the truck.

You could put a hitch on the trailer and tow it to the lake.

My travel trailer is 38' long. Would I be legal?
