Thinking of a 53' semi-Fifth wheel by Spacecraft

I'm glad to see someone can afford them...I looked at them and figured after seeing their pricing I could almost buy 2 DRV full house toy haulers for what they wanted for one 44ft hauler!! I think their base hauler with no slides or options was more than a LX455 hauler from DRV so I just pitched their material and called and told the lady they were way far out of my price range! LOL!

Class A was the original thought, but after visiting many, you don't get the same space as in a fifth wheel. State laws could be tricky, we do want to start visiting most of the states and provinces. Maybe we should rethink our strategy of a class A witn an enclosed trailer.
Part of the reason I was going to a semi and semi trailer is ease of service. Semi trucks can be repaired in most towns/cities. And most semi mechanics are very good. many rv centers do not have very good reputations.
Maybe I am just over thinking all this?

Your biggest problem is state regs restrict rvs to certain lengths or combination lengths and a permit to pull through that state.
My state for example 40' for a recreational trailer.....or a 65' combo.
Guess you could pull it with a short mobilehome toter.

Check out your legal requirements in those states/provinces you will be traveling through first

Why don't you get a class A?

I workamp at a small, older RV park about an hour north of the Fla/Ga line, just off I-95. We have overnighters and winter seasonals. As an overnighter, with a reservation well in advance, we have a couple of sites that would accommodate a rig that length... 50 amp, pull through, without unhooking.

A fifty-three foot rig would about max out other 50 amp sites, length-wise - you'd have to unhook and most likely need a double-length sewer hose.

If you fit in a seasonal site, you wouldn't be able to park your truck on your site.

I'd be adding an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed of the truck. Maneuvering a camper that length in and out of a standard gas station would be a struggle and make you few friends. Even at a Pilot / Love's / Flying Hook, you'd be better off using the truck pumps.

I have to assume that reducing your cargo is not an option.

The problem here is not just the 53ft trailer, but the additional 30ft truck to pull it. Good luck pulling into a KOA with it.
