Last Friday night we were sitting around the fire out at Roper Lake SP when our new neighbors arrived.... in this:



Told my bride "Watch this guy slide it in perfectly...." and that is just what Mike did. When he opened the drivers side slide he was perfectly parallel and 3" from the steel cement filled posts that guard the pedestal. The fiver is 40' and that is a 1995 Freightliner 8.3L, 7 speed beast for his TV. Said he gets 11.3 mpg with that bad boy, wow that was a lot of truck.

The fiver, a serious toy hauler is rated to sleep 10 and you could lost in there real easy. Keep in mind we were next door with our 24' Class C. :B

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Yea one pulled in here yesterday pulling a triple axle Voltage. Has to be at least 40 feet worth of toy hauler.

all of us towing big 5th wheels should use these class 6 trucks.
bigger brakes, more stable weight control etc.

the insurance companies charge quite a bit more to insure a safer truck.

go figure.

that pic in your post is a TV to aspire to!
