....the engine in that coach is probably an ISX Cummins north of 500 hp......same engine as used in semi truck you'll see everyday on interstate hauling 80k lbs.....
I'm sure the engine in that coach ain't even breathing heavy, lol
However, Cool setup, but I don't want to work that hard to load/unload all that for fun.

These people are apparently the physical polar opposite of me. With my back I have a difficult time loading and unloading heavy stuff. However I can walk like nobody's business.

Once had a rig park near me at a KOA that was towing an enclosed stacker trailer. I thought that it might be racing stuff, but when he opened it up there was a Mercedes Benz convertible and a BMW car in it. He explained to me that he and his wife each liked to bring their own cars with them.

We go camping to get away from it all. Why haul it all with you?

Because you're not "camping" if it's your home.
This is clearly not someone on a weekend "camping" trip. [emoji846]

I really liked this man's setup, the inside of the Ford truck has raised seats so the kids can see out the porthole windows. The rest of the box was full of "stuff". I had to combine two pictures to get the entire rig.

Hmmm....he's taking up 14 parking spots and his slides are out. Hope he isn't grilling outside too!

That's a HUGE load to be asking that motorhome to pull, and that's already a 45 foot coach with that tag axle.

Yeah, stay away from that rig when it hits the used market 😱

Roughin it smoothly with all the options checked.
How about.... its on there.... lets go Barny
OK Fred feet to the asphalt.
I can just imagine the pre flight er drive check list on that Conestoga Wagon.
As was said up top, he sure can take it all with him and then some, to deal with all the geographic regions be they static or dynamic.

Why? If it is an ISX with the Allison 4000MH it's hauling way less than those components handle for a million miles in trucks.
