Thought of you all and the debates on tow vehicles, when I saw this setup, his past weekend camping in Wilksboro NC area:



I believe he has it covered with this tow vehicle!

Wow, still has the tandems even. Now that's one truck that truly doesn't know the trailer is back there.

That's the route I'd like to go once we're full timing in a 40+ footer with a Smart car between the cab and the hitch. I've seen a few setup exactly that way.

Just wondering if this is a dedicated TV for their FW, or if this is the "work truck" that is used during the week, towing a 40' container trailer behind it, and then towing their RV on the weekends.

I do want to mention, I've read it many times here on this forum, that "You can never have too much Tow Vehicle!"

I was in and out of the campsite, competing in a Mtn Bike race up the road, so did not get a chance to chat with the owner.

I would assume, he is owner/operater of the truck, by trade, and enjoys camping. Looks to be a privately owned truck, no company logos, etc...

The fiver, was quite big, actually a toy hauler, rear had a large swing down door, three axles, several slides, long.......

Doesn't appear to be a working truck since I don't see any DOT numbers or ID on the sides. After looking for them to long though I see the image of a man on the sleeper

I'm gonna say your image of a man is a reflection of a cloud.
