Just East of Middlebury Ind there is a factory that will build one that big. A couple year ago they had two of them setting outside. I stopped and asked an employee about them.

He said they built them for an overseas market. They got special permits to move them to the shipping port.

Now I not have a clue if this one real or not. But CSI good idea.

Hope the bathroom isn't in the back!
It'd take a month of Sundays to get out of bed and head to the bathroom.
About 30 or 40 foot into heading to the bathroom and I'd have to stop and take a nap.

I'm thinking photo cropped due to the decal pattern not being repeated on what I'm guessing is a slide out on the right side.

Just to clarify - I didn't mean the one that I linked to was this one. Just that 53' fifth wheels exist and are pulled by pickup trucks.

While it doesn't have 4 axles, it is still big...57' apparently. Forks RV builds Continental Coach and has the floor plans posted. I saw one of the 39' or 41' units recently at Lake Texoma with a matching Volvo tractor to pull it.

Hi I believe it was on the travel channel they had a 1hr show on mega RVs and showed one similar to this one built for John Force to go to the drag races with his family.
