This afternoon a camper pulled into the spot next to mine in a rather average campground. But the rig was far from average. It was a massive looks new fifth wheeler pulled by a shiny looks new semi-trailer truck. I'm guessing the fellow that owns it is loaded. His wife looked like she was dressed nicely and carrying an expensive bag. How much would a trailer like this cost new and how much for the truck? I'm not looking to buy one; I'm just curious and I won't be so bold as to ask him. (photos of each below)

The rig is impressive.I'd never get it in 98% of the campgrounds we like to stay at. There is room on the truck frame for a side mounted car, that is probably the next step.

nice rig, but my idea of camping is different. my guess 200k.

I notice your travel map in your signature. I used to have one but then it stopped working. Are they working again? It looks like you haven't been to Alabama or Louisiana. I'm in Alabama today and in about 5 days I will be in Louisiana.

Ramps to drive up car sideways. Must not be over 102 in long. I have seen it done before

Considering an F350 or equal, would be in excess of $80K, but more likely an F450 + would be needed, add at least another 80 +/- for that Peterbuilt depending on year and options, the 5er could be anyones guess, again depending brand and options, but just my wild guess says midnightsadie might be low at $200k . Of course this is all just my opinion.
