buying a raptor 300mp

[bowengjr]

I was interested in hearing any good advice on the new raptor 300mp, i'm interested in purchasing one in the near future but not 100% sure yet. I want to haul my yamaha rhino side by side in th garage but not sure if this is the right rv to purchase, any advice will be appreciated. This will be my first 5th wheel! My tow vehicle is a 2006 f250 diesel long bed. I already have air bags installed cause i tow a 30 ft. trailer

Not familiar with the 300 but can talk about the garage size that would probably be important. I haul a 610 Kawasaki Mule which is roughly the same size as your sxs. I have a 12 Ft garage and it is just about right when you want to be able to open the inside door to the garage with the vehicle in there with the ramp up. A 10 footer will probably leave you with the need to crawl through the passanger compartment from the back exterior door when you are loaded up. And remember, those coolers, grills, tables, leveling boards, etc are all going in there too. That said, I couldn't be happier with my raptor EXCEPT make sure you get 16 inch "E" rated tires - Have fun

Thanks for the info.. how does your mule do in the garage? I was concerned with the weight of my sxs. everyone talks about bikes and quads in these garages.

Not a problem. My raptor has a sign in the garage saying "2000 Lb floor rating'. Not anywhere near that with the Mule (985 lbs) - The harley is 1250 and it is fine too. Obviously don't haul both at once - not even a 12ft is big enough for that. I use three sets of E-Trac and just use a 5K ratched strap across the floor board and snug 'er down. Hauled to KY from KS and it didn't move an inch.

I just bought a Raptor 300MP last month and agree with Raptor3712 that you would be better off with a larger garage. The 10' with just one bike is crowded.I have not loaded my bike yet but like he said you would not be able to open the inside door but could probably get to it from the outside door.
Hope I helped, ron

thanks for the info! i would love a bigger garage but i'm worried about pulling it with my f250 diesel...? Maybe too much trailer for this truck. Any extra's you would recommend getting on the 300mp?

I'm running a factory 6.4L F250 10K GVW with firestone bags at 15,400 fully loaded and have no problems. My 08 ford is rated at 16K towing and 3K tongue weight. Near both but not over.
