Refreshing to see a owner wth not only enough money but enough knowledge to truly have the best of the best.
great looking combo, just gorgeous .
MARATHON never disappoints.
the gold standard of truly custom.
very gracious of Bernie to take the time to share his beautiful coach and trailer with us.
Bernie sure knocked one out of the park with the "totally" matching trailer!
BenNstyle .... well said brother
This is by far the best episode to date, I truly enjoyed this video, if I had to make a complaint, you could have gone another whole hour. Thank you Bernie and Debbie for your time , knowledge and educating us. Enjoy your 1291 and 1291-B !! Ron D. (Philadelphia, Pa.)
Wow a true gent such a beautiful coach
That's a beautiful coach and trailer Mr. Bernie!
Great episode - wonderful of Bernie to show us his creation. Would have liked to see how the upper stacker works in regards to the trolley system.
Go to railryder.com to see the trolley in action
This enthusiasm and class is what it's all about. Well done...both of you.
That’s a great set up thanks for sharing Bernie. 👍👍
I was hoping for a demonstration of the trolley, to see how it works.
The height and length of the trailer was never mentioned.
Yes it was. Height is same as bus and he did say it also length and width of trailer.
This is awesome a beautiful combo when I upgrade I’m going to marathon. Hands down most beautiful combo on the road…
Watching Joe Martin's Iron resurrection right now with Bernie and the Merc. I saw 1291 and thought hey I recognize that guy! Very informative video thanks
I appreciated the fine comments and most of all the excellent information sharing. Thank you Bernie and Mal.
Beautiful coach and trailer....the paint...off the hook!! 10++++
Marathon need to consider getting in the custom trailer building business since people want them instead dragging their vehicles behind the bus. Featherlite build trailers along with coaches. That trailer looks great with the matching paint and lines.
Impressive rig.
Awesome trailer!
RVing with Andrew Steele .... thanks Andrew
Man I wonder what these types of guys used to do for a living haha. I DO appreciate that he knows SO much detail. Vey nice coach.
I only have 1 question. If i come to you Mal and say I want a duplicate of this trailer, can you help me get one? I like the idea of 12 on center, the dolly system, the siding, and so on. This is a fine setup. Thank you Mal and Bernie. Outstanding.
Ron Hunter .... yes.... email me at malw@marathoncoach.com
Beautiful trailer
Top notch engineering excellent build an owner that knows his stuff and how to build it what a Beauty
Hi, you guys have great coach and of course, service. And I have a prevost, but not marathon, Im building mine. But its all I can afford. Its coming along great and I wouldn't go back. Its been a great learning experiences.
Just started to watch. Excited!
Just BEAUTIFUL!
This one hear would be my favorite one I've seen so far!
Who Custom Built this awesome Trailer?? Perfect match 😍
Looks great, Bernie. Nice chatting with you on POG. Huge help! Mike
Wow prefect trailer and the rv coach
Nice exterior. Excellent craftsmanship. Bernie knows his stuff!.very impressive .
Disappointed with the interior. I'd love to see the interior close up & in action..it's usefulness. Pros and cons etc.
Maybe in the future - down the road - Bernie can share a couple of minutes of an actual road trip.
Also disappointed that the length issue was not discussed. Bernie please share your knowledge with us. Ty Ty Ty
HB .... can’t show everything.... Bernie needs to keep some things for himself.... can’t give away all the secrets of the research
@@malwilliams837 well I still hope that down the line there will be a follow-up video with more, much more practical information about the trailer and its usefulness on a daily basis.
This video was certainly exciting and interesting. It showcased a thrilling option..
However since Marathon doesn't manufacturer trailers, I hope the owner himself will share more fascinating information on the trailer/coach combo
Yeah I was waiting the whole time for them to get that car in there and see that dolly system
Sure wish we could of seen how the car loads....dang it..would of been a perfect video..also the information on who made the trailer!!
That's a really good looking color on this pair now I like it and it's a very nice trailer and strong the way it's built and will last a good while now he did good and the coach is as always gorgeous for sure now but what can you say it's marathon so that makes a statement
Great episode
Very nice 👍. Love this episode.
Thank you sir for the tour
Why not air-brakes? (On the trailer of course )....... does the coach not have a provision for trailer air with glad hands? What about air suspension as well for the trailer to protect the vehicle is there a link to the trailer that was purchased what brand is it?
Special thanks to the owners for putting themselves out there and educating future owners like myself!
I like the feather lite trailer setup better and it’s matching to the coach just like this one
Gonna go out on a limb and say 3.5 million out the door? Beautiful setup guys! Nice to see an owner that knows his bus
Is there a video tour of inside Bernie & Debbie's coach? Update: I found it ... it is ep77 A tremendous coach. Great job guys.
Very enlightening and informative......
Beautifully engineered! How long is the RV? How long is that trailer?
How do you turn a corner driving through a town without taking out lamp posts, newspaper stands fire hydrants
It is like a semi truck you stay on truck routes with the trailer and since the bus is 45 feet about you would stay on truck routes with it. You drive the car in the trailer in town, that is why they have the trailer.
Nice!
Please explain how this combination of 45' RV and trailer is legal with the length exceeding the legal limit of 65'-6"
Bernie... Thank You.!!
Adventures with purpose needs these badboys
Looks magnificent
As a curious person how long is the combination of bus and trailer?
C Smith Typically 45’ for bus snd 18-20’ for trailer.
I would add 28 to 30 FT for the trailer
Intech really does build the makes the best trailers.
Was hoping to see the trolly in operation loading the car
GREAT JOB
Almost two years later wonder if Bernie's ready to sell yet.. wow!
Bad ass Bernie! As sweet as it gets right there!
See you on the road!
Awesome,,, Well done
PERFECT . . . Come on Lottery numbers!
Might need to win a couple lottery's.
That’s a V Nose Trailer, not a Bull Nose. A Bull Nose is a Slightly Smaller Square Nose that Slants/Tapers on The Top, and Both Sides. Beautiful Coach, and a Beautiful Matching Trailer! Nothing like a Beautiful Matching Combo! You Can’t Beat or Top a Prevost in My Opinion!
Would have loved to see it in operation.
Go to railryder.com
Good video .wow love that trailer
Awesome. I’ll buy 2 of them.
Holy smokes 🎆
I think the owner of that trailer is trying to form a business partnership with @Marathon.
I am wondering what the legal gross and axle weight is for the coach and the trailer. I was thinking about the exhaust coming from the coach too. How does it affect the outside of the trailer. How much exhaust soot builds up.
Wouldn't the winch alone does the job ? Without the need for trolleys?
The trailer carries his money right?
All that money just to carry his custom car ? I can use a Trailer like that for my business...
I like it a lot
That all adds weight to the trailer also to think about it's a trade off I guess
Simple weight distribution solution. Turn the car around!
That trolley is pretty cool but how does it get the car out? It uses a wench to pull it in but how about out. Also, how long is that trailer? Most states only "legally" allow 65 total feet for the total combination. Other than that, nice video and beautiful rig. WOW
Hey Mike, that's a great question about getting the car OUT of the trailer!
Marcus Mack, I didn't think he would just un-hook it and let it roll out. With a car in an enclosed trailer it can be hard to open the door and get in if you're a guy of any size. :-}
A few years ago i used a 2004 diesel pusher lower end starter rig i would call it. Smaller liter motor. Still had an allison transmission. Actual freight liner chassis, 4 bag air ride and air brakes. I believe the motor home was 45' long and the trailer was all aluminum 28' plus the 18" V And the hitch protruding from that for a total length of almost exactly 30' + 45' motorhome = 75' Legally I never looked to much into it so I could honestly play the I did not know card if something happened. But I will say at Motocross Races, Truck Stops, Snowmobiling Out West, and using it for partying at different drag races and things I did have dozens of people tell me the overall length they thought was legal and in MN everyone seemed to be reclose to that 67' to 75' length. Most even stated that they thought being that it was for personal use they did not think it excluded us or didn't apply. A pretty cool but pretty intoxicated sheriff I hung out with at BIR in MN for several hour had no idea. He said unless he seen us going down the hwy do something really stupid him and most patrol personnel would probably leave you alone because they actually did not no the answer and wouldn't want to screw around measuring your really fun family rig and waste everyones time for ever while they measured everything, researched all the laws, than ruined the day, weekend, trip because of being off by a few inches or a foot. The sheriff did decline to give me a written copy of his opinion that i could keep in my back pocket incase I ran into one of his not as friendly and nice co workers as he was.
There may be someone intent on a coach extension though it certainly has to be an inconvenience.
I could sell everything I own cash in my retirement and sell a kidney and still not have enough money to own this and to tell the truth it would be so stressful to even own something this nice. This is for the people where money is no object and unfortunately that isn't me yet.
This is a beautiful, well thought trailer, but there are a few corrections that should be made. Yes, Featherlite did get sold to a conglomerate, losing some of the personal touch they had before, but the Featherlite double stacker Coach trailer is actually made with the SAME side sheet as the NASCAR transporters; a rivetless, interlocking side sheet using the 3M VHB adhesive tape. this sheet is either a .085 0r a .090" thickness. Additionally, a side door does not negatively effect the trailer strength or integrity as long as header reinforcement is used with proper engineering. As far as the lights blinking is synchronous with the bus, that does not require a special wiring schematic. Since the tow vehicle blinker only sends power in one fashion. Extra power to the trailer is not bad though..
Your stacker walls were built at .065. When Dan Belore and I built one that was an upgrade, you don't need transporter thickness. You sound like a Feathelite salesman. And your wrong about turn signals, you still have to rob them from a seperate source to get them wotking down the sides and a 7 way plug wont do it, a 9 way pug will but that limits you. You outta know Belore, they got rid of him in the new age or whatever you want to call it.
@@bubbagump9761 I knew Belore when I was there. I have sold Featherlite, Bloomer, Exiss, Sooner, Vantare coaches, and Wilson Semi trailers. The "old" (Clement era) Featherlite was a great product... I miss it. The wiring on the Semi plug would allow the blinkers to match. I still do it that way.
@@chadrogers934 I should of been more clear, they will work but the side turn signals come on when you step on the brake, the way he's got it wired there isolated. Yes I will agree Featherlite Trls in it's early time was the best.
@@bubbagump9761 NOW I gotya… Ya Any time I Sold a trailer with side blinkers I isolated the side blinkers... looks a LOT better. STUNNING rig!!! Looks fun!
@@bubbagump9761 InTech is a GREAT company too!
Can these tralilers be converted to a concession kitchen
So if someone wanted this setup, could this company send us to the same people this gentleman used?
What name brand of trailer is this? Anyone know the name brand?
Now say I had AA35 foot motor home a Thor would I be able to pull this trailer with that motor home are when I have problems and what does this trailer go for please comment back
35 SOS cant pull this
You need a tag axel diesel pusher, single axle pushers typically have a 10k towing limit with a 1k tongue, better tags have 15k towing with maybe a 1500lb tongue. Thor doesn’t have anything that will pull this....you would need to go up to a Integra Cornerstone or something similar.... most 3 axle stackers start around 60k this one is more in the 100k range
How much does this cost if I wanted to haul a handicapped Toyota Sienna Minivan, but I want room in front for a Trager bbq pit plus two electric tricycles
First you need to figure what the length is you need put the lengths together and price trailers that long but you also need something to pull the trailer. How did the Toyota get handicapped?
Bernie, I just seen some of your posts on Prevost community, you really are a piece of work!
This man has helped hundreds of bus owners on PC. Take your sarcastic wannabe nose and put it back up Andys ass on his channel. Don't be hanging around here.
Does it have no back up lights?
I would love to see his coach
They did a video exclusive on it
who built this trailer unit???
I wish he would have loaded the cart to see exactly how things work
I need to win the lottery
Love to have the income to have that, I could run a small business out of that Trailer. and hit Every Major Auto Race and Car Show in the Country and parts of South America. I have all the Education and Trade Schooling but "NO MONEY" I drive but Disabled from an Illegal Alien Driving Drunk.and live in Chronic Pain...Working my Trade I could be active which may reduce my pain. WHERE IS THAT TRAVELING ACUPUNCTURIST ? .That is the only thing that gives me relief except DRUGS that Suck... I So Want A Duplicate 1291 coach and Trailer plus All the Computer's & Printers for my business... No Heavy Cars maybe a small Motor Scooter !!!Extra Fridge and Freezer under the coach for all my Organic Vegetables !!!!!!! Thank's Mal & Bernie !!!
How can you check tonge wright on your stacker travel trailor. I'm guessing cat scale.
Lookup Sherline Tongue weight scales, you will see the small scales. Put in directly under your tongue so you get a true reading.
RUclips search Mr. Truck and scroll his videos he tests a few tongue weight devices.
What year is this coach
Well what if someone wanted this type of trailer; however did not have the knowledge that this gentleman has. Who would help the common person to get this kind of quality work for the money one might pay for this type of trailer?
If you do not know what you want you talk to the design team and they help you.
Olá qual é comprimento total
The captioner needs work with his decimal points
Who makes that trailer?
Que belleza impresionante
Where is Marathon located
That is Oregon, they are also in Florida and California. Google them.
Wow
HB - Thanks for watching - it seems you don't miss an episode and we appreciate it. When are we going to get you in a Marathon of your own
@@malwilliams5486 Mal, marathon should sponsor mine because if I like it, & feel it's a good value, I'd be the best ambassador the company ever had. My friends trust my recommendations... Don't trust my "friends" though
I travel often, actually want to own 2. One stateside one overseas.
But first is first & second is second & third....
.
Nobody:
Voiceover: *point oh four oh*
Time stamp: 20:41. You brought your dog for a whole month?, wow, now that’s commitment and an incredible sacrifice,..... I can’t get over it, how could you have possibly managed?..... The torture of just having to sit for a whole month in a marathon coach, and do nothing, it must have felt like you were being waterboarded. My hat is off to you Sir!
I’ve met Bernie’s dog, more likable than some people.
They sat in an industrial plant parking lot. Nice place but not where most want to spend their time.
If wenches pull the trolley in to load the vehicle then how do you off load it?
one wench I think and often you just let the wench out and the trolley rolls out.
I'm guessing 70ft overall?
We're all wondering about that
My guess is it's illegal in all except a couple states. 65' max in most states.
John Bednarz
In Michigan you can go 75ft with a recreational endorsement. Not that I would want to.
@@ledebuhr1
That's for recreational double trailer, example would be motor home, car trailer and a boat. I live in Michigan and never seen combination like that for recreational. Still would be illegal if you travel to or through other states.
Federal limit is 72' combination bumper to bumper. Only state I know with stricter limitations is CA.
👍👍
I have a feeling that this rig is a teeny tiny bit over the max. combined RV length limit of most states. Oregon, where Marathon is based, has a limit of 65’.
Wow, your sharp as a baseball. Thanks for the earth shattering news Barney Fife. Stop the presses, red alert, red alert. Over lenght motorhome, APB on the motorhome.
Bubba Gump I know, right?! I have my moments. That’s why they call me Capt. Obvious. Apparently, you didn’t get my sarcasm.
@@azschalter Ok AZ got it.
What matters is where it is licensed.
Badger Pa sorry bro, but that’s wrong. That does only apply for drivers licenses. A state length or weight limit applies to everyone driving in this state.
A little much for 1 car
Same thing I thought .
Ma Hu one car and a custom golf cart
But wouldn't be be awesome to put not only a car in there, but all kinds of extra supplies if you wanted? Then it's perfect.
It has massive storage also....
Not if you want that.
Evangelist Dream Ride
Well Truth is the dream ride is out of here but this would be a great ride to spread the GOSPELS until that home coming day.
??? It's just a standard stacker trailer with a fancy outside. You can see 100's of these at any racetrack across the nation. Why all the pomp and circumstance?
There isn't a Ricky Racer behind the front row of transporters that has anything close to this, what you smoking DUDE?
Not a fan of the diamond plate front and the corrugated sides. It doesn’t blend well. The front diamond plate looks like an after thought.
Your a complete idiot, go blend your Winnebago . Stupid comments from the jelly seats.
whatever you would put there would be rock chipped up.
