Looks like I need to upgrade. I wouldn’t do it with my RAM. Must be a Ford thing.

ONLY thing odd to me is the landing gear being down on the front, BUT maybe he just wanted to level the RV??? I have don't this many times while being connected.

I blew it way up and I don't think his landing gear is all the way down. It's down farther than I would feel comfortable with, but I don't think it's down all the way. At least it looks that way to me. But I've been wrong before.

I think you are correct SIR. That is actually possible because that era of landing gear has a problem with drifting down.

IMHO It's real! Why wouldn't it be???

Measure on your screen from bottom of front tire to top or cab on a pc of paper, now raise that up and its the same height from top of cab to top of boat. That would put you at around 13'. Straight line across top of RV to top of boat aligns.

Nothing is more obvious than the boat tongue support down to the frame being an obvious line drawin by a computer. Photo editing software can add shadows. But the truck mirror shadow would indicate that the sun is in the 1-2 o'clock position, but the other shadows should suggest that the sun is in the 10-11 o'clock position. It is a hacked photo...guaranteed.

Even "IF" it's hacked it still could be a real combination.

Shadows seem right, boat trailer wheels angle aligns with front of truck, shadow on dolly from tires is about right, as is the 5er, the only one questionable is the overbed area of the 5er, doesnt appear to throw a shadow, and landing gear is nearly, if not totally down.

I would like to see how the boat trailer handles a semi passing, that tongue and the vertical from the front hitch would get wobbly without guy wires I would think, unless its some really beefy stuff.

It would also be really interesting to watch a cop try to figure out how to write this one up. Where do you start?

Edit add,,,
I wonder if every time he pulls out of a parking area he rolls the window down and yells,,,
HEY YALL WATCH THIS

Around here, when you hear that, something bad usually follows.

I think that is a legit photo. The shadows of the load all line up, I could only imagine getting pulled over with that. You would be there all day.

Well over length for sure! I also wonder about the height of boats bow, looks to be taller than the 5er. The safety hitch is a frame extension, so first towed is the 5er.

Crazy to say the least!

Or as an acquaintance of mine used to say, there is a fine line between keen and dumb.

[rjstractor]

Looks totally photoshopped. The piece supporting the tongue looks a lot smaller than would be needed and it has no lateral bracing. The bow of the boat also looks to be much higher than the 5th wheel trailer, and those are usually close to max legal height.
