I would like to see the picture. My preferences will not allow it. Not sure how to fix it. Can you e-mail it to me?

Edit your preferences so you can see the pics.

I thought that anything over 53 long was not legal on our interstates. That is the longest that I think Fruehoff (spelling?) makes and Wal*Mart and others tow. Am I wrong?

Wonder if it has 4 axles? Last year in Portland saw a 54ft custom built Teton 5 slides and 4 axles. Pull by a big Volvo with a sleeper. The trailer filled the pull thru site without the truck connected. Tom

With my jeep tied on the back I would be 98 feet long . I think I would get pulled over a lot by the LEO's

WOW!

It looks to be a triple axle by what I can see in the last picture.

Sirdrakejr, I think your right.
At 54' & over 26,000 lbs I'm guessing he's operating under Leo's radar.
Overlength permits & a CDL seem like they are in order for this beast.
