Maybe it is a winter getaway for some of the Duck Dynasty gang?

Narrow lot. No room for a double wide!

I actually had one of those just before I bought our 5er. This is the last picture of it sitting at the dealership.

It was a great idea, but lacked good engineering. The only made them for 2 years. What I liked about it, was you had the space of a trailer that was the size of 35' in 27' of space. The down side was, it was hot during the summer and lacked adequate A/C venting, and it was tall and cumbersome to pull. Could have benefitted from bigger axles and tires.

(chuckle) Their hide away is a *big money* motor home.

When we say we're "glamping", they would be considered "glunting" when they hit the woods.

They could walk away from that show today and not feel one twinge financially.

Doesn't hurt that Willie and Jase "married money" as well.

In all sincerity those are some fine "down home folks" that haven't let fame or fortune go to their heads.

For years there was a mobile home sales lot just outside Hattiesburg, MS that had a two story model on display out front.

Not a good idea, IMO, in an area so prone to tornados.
