And....in a pinch you could pull a few railroad trains!!

This would be a great recovery vehicle for all the yahoos who drive out on the beach, and stop too near the tide line, then get water and waves coming up on their motor homes at Pismo Beach!

There's a Facebook group I'm on, and the owner of that rig just posted a photo saying he's been camping in that rig for a month straight, all around Colorado.

And the ride isn't much to brag about either.

Cruising speed of around 50 mph unless it has been regeared.

That's a serious off road TC. It may not be economical or have a comfortable ride. But, it will go just about anywhere, pull what you want and the nice part, everyone will get out of you way. 🙂

There is a post after this one about covering a RV with bedliner. This would be a perfect candidate, it would blend in well with the military look.
