Class C pulling a travel trailer.

Best combination......a really really old class A (had duct tape on the door, and several other places on the exterior) pulling an ancient pick up truck, tooling down the interstate.

Just this morning I saw a DP pulling a Ford F-150 with a motorcycle in the back towing about a 17' bass boat.
I followed the guy a few miles until he pulled into a parking area. I stopped to visit and asked him if it is legal to tow like that. He said he has pulled it from Quebec to Texas (and back) for several years ad has never been stopped.

When my grown kids were inspecting our new fifth wheel, one asked why we bought a trailer that sleeps 4. My reply was that we couldn't find one that sleeps 2!

An H1 Hummer being towed behind a Prevost motorcoach. It was an impressive rig.

Years ago I saw somebody apparently headed out to long term job: A ten wheeler gravel truck pulling an old pickup truck pulling a 17-19 ft camper trailer. Who sez you can't take it with you.

Not a toad but I seen a Studebaker pickup pulling a new 35' 5er. I talked to the guy and he had bought a Wrecked Dodge Diesel and put the Studebaker body on the truck.

Here are some funny ones we've seen over the years


Watched this for some time while sitting in Baja sipping on a margarita

Camped with this great couple in Yosemite. They traveled fulltime on their Harley, and the little teardrop trailer was for their dog Josh. It had A/C in it too!!


Met this guy in Arkansas. That's a Freightliner pulling a triple axle 5er, which is towing a Jeep. Between the 5er and the gooseneck, he also has a full dresser Harley which is loaded and unloaded with a hydrolic lift!



Saw this at the Quartzsite RV Show. First one is an electric scooter motor that pulls the cooler behind you!!


I've got a few more that are funny, but dont want to post them all in one piece. I'll give you some time to catch your breath

Saw a truck towing an Airstream which had a wood stalled. The stove pipe went out through the front roof vent.You could see the stove through the windows. Had a load of firewood stashed on the rear of the trailer.
