Not sure what to say but I had to take some pictures...

I was leaving Sams club and in a rush to get home but after seeing this out of the corner of my eye, I had to turn around and snap some quick pictures with my cell phone.

Yes, those are gaping holes on the front cap around the windshield. Yes, there is at least a ton of stuff strapped tot he roof including a full size canoe. Also, my GPD mount got in the way but there was a very sizable load of stuff under a tarp on the trailer it was pulling. Yes, the sidewalls are completely buckled and it is riding on the springs. Also yes, this thing has been on the road, it was Wally Docked. It was not there on Friday.

Someone is driving this thing around and based on the English and Spanish "Beware of Dog" signs and out of state plates, this thing goes all over the place. I don't get it and would be scared if I saw that thing next to me on the highway.

After looking at the pictures at home, the one regret that I will take to the grave is that I didn't stop and read the several paragraphs that are written on that paper posted on the drivers side door window.

I bet there is a rain suit on the back of the drivers seat. When it gets to raining hard he's going to need it. Now you see the need for the "10 year" rule.

A few things come to mind:

An RV version of a "Traveller"
Jack of all trades and certainly master of none
What a pain in the $$$ to get that generator off of the roof
His wife kicked him out of the house

I know it can just be the camera or angle, but that rear section certainly looks like it's sagging in both pictures where you see the full sides.

As far as I know, every state has laws that allow the police to pull over ANY vehicle that the officer feels is unsafe.
I am guessing that the owner of this rig is not as fortunate as most of us but I also assume that most police officers would pull this vehicle over if they saw it on the highway.


That's what was bugging me. This thing has been all over the place. All the talk you hear about worrying about getting pulled over for being overweight or without trailer brakes and you see this thing...

Another odd bit is that the canoe is nice, the huge generator (On the roof?????) is nice and it looked like there was a pretty nice trike of some sorts on the trailer but there is a gaping hole in the front of this thing.

Also, I don't want to meet the guy who can take a wheeled generator on and off of a motorhome with a ladder under any animosity. Maybe that's just where it sits permanently and he runs it from there.

There could be more going on here than meets the eye.



That was my initial thought too. I guess the owner would not be welcome to stay at a high end campground? In reality it sure looks unsafe so what about all the others the driver might put in harm's way?

Oh, I can guarantee that. What meets the eye is odd enough but I bet there is a very interesting individual in there.
