Sticking out over the Grand Canyon? I don't think so!

But in certain places, that would be real nice.

Deck weight limit is 1400 lbs though the most I've had is probably 500 lbs. The picture doesn't show it but 5' off the back deck is the Lake Martin.

Is that really only tandem axle?

I looked at the pic again and see the cables.

If it's equipped with heavy enough axles (8 lug) there's no problem with tandem.

Most states per Rules of the Road won't even allow anything over 45', and only a couple allow 50'..

I can say that the rules for Maryland don't match up with my communications with the state back when I was buying my camper. At 42', I'm over the Woodalls published limit.

Not a photo from an RV park, but here is an interesting shot anyway.

I stopped to talk to the lady there, and she told me it has TWO bathrooms, and a house-style fridge among its various amenities. She said they are LIVING in it for the next 2 years while stationed at the base.

Mileage is awful, but that thing will run on anything that burns.

Just starting a fire now- you should be able to get here by smoke signals alone.

I swung by 1000 Trails this afternoon about 3:00 but I didn't see a truck at your site so I didn't stop to knock. Nice looking 5W you've got there, sir.

Aww shoot! We were here! My truck doesn't fit on the site and is parked down the hill. We think we are rolling out tomorrow evening.

Most length dimensions I've seen are from the hitch to the bumper.

mine is listed as 44.5 KINGPIN to rear (it has no bumper) ladder not included (my ladder is on the side)

the front end of my cap is slightly more fwd than the kingpin....so i guess if your talking TOTAL length it may be more?

my old lacrosse was 36ft total , and with the bumper mounted basked it was about 38.9 from end to end....

since 5ft of my toy hauler sits over the truck bed, the actual length behind the truck is only about a foot more...but it seems longer to me??h

plus im pulling with a 350 platinum dually......so the beds 16" longer than my 250 is...

no idea what the legal limit is....i know its 65' combined for double towing......but i dont see that happeing with this rig...LOL...

With a 30' trailer and 20' truck I have enough trouble getting into some places. I don't think I want anything bigger.
