This is for you in particular based on a conversation we had a few months ago concerning what to get for travel across the US. This rig showed up at home park a few days ago. I have not had the chance to visit with them, and the pictures are pretty mediocre 'cause it was early morning with barely enough sunlight to even get a shot. I just liked the thing quite a bit, so thought I would share.

Am going to try to visit with them this evening to see how their trip is going.

looks like they have enough room to carry anything they might need and souvenirs for back home.

doesn't look like it would fit into a shipping container(s). be intersting to see them unpacked & up close

I'd have loved to see pics of how it's set up inside. I love creative living!

With more modern running gear (newer truck), that is the sort of thing I would like. In particular That is the right tire configuration. It is also the same type of trailer that I have been thinking of, though I would more likely go for a hard top version of both the truck and trailer. I can see huge versatility in that combination, for either traveling lite with just the truck and having the trailer as an extension to the living accommodation when joined back together, or used as a workshop, hobby, or other purpose area.

I didn't get to talk to the people - they were gone by that evening. Would also love to have seen how it was setup. The manager at the park said the truck was the living part, so am thinking the trailer was for 'stuff'. Whatever supplies, tools, etc - but that is conjecture.
