In the early to middle 1970's I absolutely fell in LOVE with this style of fifth wheel. I remember thinking they were the greatest thing on planet earth. I was just out of high school and had visions of become a traveling evangelist (preacher). My local church had "revivals" twice a year (back then they ran 2 weeks long), and the traveling evangelists often lived in these exact same monsters.
Looking back now, I was more intrigued with the lifestyle (Rv-ing) and the 5er and the tow vehicle than the method of employment. OK, I was young and dumb, and like I said, I had great 'visions' back then.
Well... long story short, I declared I'd own a 5er and truck some day myself! And it was going to be one, just like that in the photo! Eventually the "ministry" lost it's appeal. I never did get the 5er. But I did eventually get a right danday travel trailer and a right dandy tow vehicle! I couldn't be happier. I really do not want a 5er now. But you know ..... looking at this flashback from my memories ... if I could get one like that ... who knows?
And ... any visions of "ministry" now? No. I'll let someone else "save the world!' I'm having too much fun camping now.
