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

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!

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

Cool rig. We've seen a couple like that in our travels. Not sure you can ever have too much truck.

I almost bought one of the larger trucks, but it is not much of a driver when I want to drive my truck to work.. Not good in the snow either,,, and we do get storms here. Good truck for when I retire some day tho...

That rig was How big??? | Good Sam Community

We had one like that across from us at the Kingston(ON)KOA and he had a Smart car located crosswise behind the truck cab where a sleeper might have been. Got a lot of attention while he was there.

Just buy one of these! It'll get'r done in the snow and hauling!

Little lady that owned this TV was towing an Inferno that scared the bejesus out of me when I stepped out of my MH that night and saw this TT parked behind me at a CG. Thought the aliens has landed! :B
