I can’t resist! Isn’t he nose high? I don’t mean snooty, I mean, won’t he drag over bumps, etc. maybe it doesn’t make any difference. Both are beauties.

I would have to agree that that is 2 different trailers, forget where they are from with the International and the Mobile Suite.
New Horizon will make a bumper pull trailer and also Space Craft will build one.

Up until this point, the F150 was getting really good gas mileage though.

Not necessarily a lot of caster but definitely a high King Pin Angle/Steering Axis Inclination.
Caster only causes a wheel to want to turn in. KPI makes the wheel want to stay in the center of it's turn angle. It takes both but in the right amounts for each.

Doesn't work if the bathroom has a window. Never fails that I have one of those ahead of me in the "dump line". One person flushes inside while the other looks through their transparent discharge elbow to make sure that every piece of "whatever" is flushed out.
Me? I add enough water to make the tank at least half full for the trip to the dump station. A few random lane changes and a few in-lane swerves from side to side before pulling in gets things well mixed. When I's my turn it's hook up the hose, put the end in the dump hole, pull the valve, flush the toilet for a couple minutes, let drain, clean hose, store, and get on with my trip. I'll use the tank flush fitting when hooked up at a campground or at home.
I spent almost an hour behind a coach at our local public works free dump station. Just when I thought they were done they the guy outside pushed the water button again while his wife was manning the hose inside.
I resisted the urge to honk the horn and just pulled out a book I was reading. Never once did they acknowledge that there were two RV's waiting behind them. Was like they were in their own little world.

They were in their own little world. They are completely oblivious of their surroundings and will be the first to go in a Zombie Apocalypse. Just sayin.

I have it on good authority that RV manufacturers will be first to go. Since they are already half-way there it will be an easy transition.

This is a pretty cool sighting in an RV Park. I’ve watched a lot of RV videos on YouTube about boondocking and one of the guys on there is “Nomadic Native”. They are full time and have a lot of videos on YouTube. Anyway, they are parked across the street from us. I went over and talked to them for a while. Nice guy. They were out doing videos on RV Surplus shops today.

So, let me get this straight. You met a guy who makes his living specializing in ‘boondocking’ in an RV Park, with apparently full hookups?

I thought the same thing but he is traveling thru Indiana making some videos about the rv industry. Pretty cool guy. Talked to him for about an hour. Mostly about me though.

Saw this coming back from Lubbock this weekend. Apparently, it is a tiny home on wheels.

Agreed, looks like a high-end TT to me.

Almost all the ‘tiny homes’ are on wheels, and could be classified better as trailers. The big differences I’ve seen (based on various shows on HGTV) is:
1) They’re a lot heavier than your standard RV, because they use full on housing materials. (Yet I see a bunch of them finish the episode pulling them out with a 1/2 ton  )
2) They give up a lot of the conveniences we enjoy in our RVs, like slideouts, ducked AC, etc...
This one though, looks more RV like, since it has a Dometic on the roof.
