Hmmm, can't say I've ever seen a mobile bowling alley. Interesting.

Are you pulling it with a 1/2 ton? You will probably need weight-distributing bars and sway control. Keep an eye on the payload - you'll eat right through it!

Holy mackeral! Are you going to pull it with the F150 in your signature? Seriously, that's photoshopped, yes?

Penny ...did you notice what thread I posted this in?

Sorry guys - it is (I think!) a photoshopped pict - a friend in my FROG To Alaska group sent it to me as the "perfect rig for the AlCan" LOL

Just a bit of Friday morning humor at ya'lls expense

Still...could you imagine trying to park that beast? Worse, take it up some of those switchbacks in the Smokeys?

I believe we determined that the pic was real, or at least plausible, the last time it was posted here.

Sheesh Doug, I thought it was a PS job!

Guess not though:

Products | Recreation By Design

I did note that the photo of the one I posted is a "Commercial Unit" designed to be towed to a work/disaster site and based there.

The DO however, make a 50' 5th wheel...

He'll probably have to put into 4 wheel low to move it.
