If you are going to drive that better have a ton of money with you....They are geared LOW and by the picture I'm thinking there is PLENTY of wind resistance....
Yep. I have driven and rode in back of several when in the Army. I doubt if they get more than 4 mpg.

You can never have toooo many toys...

The question I have is: How do you get the boat in and out of the truck bed...

Wow that would scare me and I would also wonder about height clearance. Covered like that and sitting on the truck it does make me think of Santa's sleigh.

I would think this is a unique experience they had a mission and the resources to make it happen. Not for me but good for them!

It looks like it's set up to sell something out the front. Looks nice even though pink isn't my favorite color.

How to camp and take your horses with you if you don't want to spend the money on a living quarters horse trailer.

Gotta admit it is a pretty SLICK set up, but not for me that has to be top heavy...

Mark
I love that Holiday House Trailer, especially the picture window...That's a Sea Shore trailer if I ever saw one...

From what I read, the popular and beautiful front end was prone to rock damage. Sad, they should have designed a shield. That tall thing by the door is a gravity furnace. Burned propane, the cold air entered the bottom, and exited the top. (not the combustion air, that went up the chimney) We had one in a small apartment when we first got married. If it were today, I'd add AC and 30 amp service, but like a 57 Chevy, it is a classic the way it is!

That's a Tow Zone. Wonder if he had a parking permit?

Question. I see the winch cable pulling it up. But once it's on top of the truck I don't see it anymore. How are they winching it up?

Remarkable! Did you see how close that front trailer wheel got to the roof of the truck? Yikes!

I think it touched the roof. I wonder how tall that is, because it towers over the Class A.

Never mind the parking permit, I hope he had a fire permit.
