Fiver duals

On I-64 today just outside St. Louis, and was passed by a fairly big fiver. It was a Mountain-air and I'm guessing perhaps 30-35 ft,
What was interesting was that the trailer was quite high off the suspension (flipped axles?) but it had duals at each wheel position. (8 wheels/tires)

I've never seen that before...good way to add load rating?

  • Newmar made those 8 tire rigs in their high line fivers for a number of years. They have since totally ended fifth wheel production. They were very nice, high end rigs, heavy and beautiful inside. I saw one this weekend while at Disney Ft. Wilderness. PCM
