Alright guys I been on this forum for a little while since I got my Stinger and poked into a post or two about Stinger trailers and hitches and what a pain in the rear anus they are to find nowadays.
I know some people just can't wrap their heads around this idea I've had for a while, so far I've only found people using a Stinger to tow motor bikes and probably/mostly regular bikes, but I've had something a bit different in mind. Perhaps there are others who think outside the box like me, as I'm sure I would have died to see someone else already attempt this with their Stinger and hear their experiences but at least up until now I don't know anyone who's done this yet and lived to tell about it lol.
Long story short I've finally made it and living the dream lol, at least for the past several days so far
Not to mention during this first trip I also managed to pack 2 foldable ebikes, a bike trailer and my E-Skateboard all within my Stinger and the trailer.
If I didn't have a small family I could see myself living that vanlife/RV life where you travel wherever you want, work remotely and power your home and electronics solely with solar panels, lithium batteries and the Stingers alternator. I actually have all these items but not fully set them up yet. The best part is driving your beautiful dream car and not some huge ugly bulky truck. If you want to dump the trailer and cruise around the city maybe participate in some underground street races for pink slips, you can park the trailer at the nearest campground, or if you want to quickly roam around a new downtown city looking for food take the ebikes, at least thats the idea. But right now the plan is just weekend trips to week long trips around NA exploring with the family.
Before everyone freaks out, some might already know this but the Stinger is rated in Australia to pull 3300lbs, where as this trailer only weighs 1200-1500lbs.

Anyways I'm pretty excited about this and just thought I'd share my experiences and that yes... It is indeed possible.
