Are their any PPRuNer's trailering their private helicopters with a Recreational Vehicle?

There was a previous discussion on R22 Trailering (click here) (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117252&highlight=trailer), but I wanted to find out if any of you are actually doing it. What helicopter do you tow on your trailer? What supports do you use? Who made the trailer for you?
I think pa42 is a wandering RV Guru that drags along his R22 from time to time (last post was about landing on Lake Powell). Are their any others? Most trailers look something like this and it doesn't look like a lot of support is provided (except increasing the shock system to provide more cushion on the road)...

Well, I just bought my first RV a couple weeks ago. It's a small "starter" and it's only a trailer, but my kids are just old enough to travel anyway. So, we got this little thing for small trips here and there (see below). Actually, the women stay in the box, and the boy and I hike into the backcountry for some choice fishing (returning the next day bruised, but happy)...

Anyway, I just wanted to find out what's being done. What does it cost? Just putting some general thoughts down for future consideration and things to think about for the long term. Ya, this is kind of a goofy post for PPRuNe, but there it is.
