5th wheel would make more sense and turnable wheels in the center. Just doesn't show that way in the picture but I seem to recall having seen a better picture of that setup which did.

I was in Arizona last month and I was camped next to a 1985 Airstream Diesel Puller, that was prime condition!

I did see a better picture of it on some antique RV blog a couple years ago.

Does that count?

It wasn't South America, it was Africa. :S

International Harvester Jungle Yacht

Strange looking. Is that the first Truck Camper. :)

It looks like the "center" wheels turn as well or you would not need that clearance area.

Isn't the one that made a trip to South America many years ago?

Nope!
