In case you missed it,there was an article about this type of rig in Motorhome magazine several months ago,where the owner of the rig was refused entry to an exclusive "all Class A" park...I' did a quick search online for the article,maybe someone can help me out.

Can't help you out with that, but OMG...those coaches are the cat's meow. I've actually got the heebie-geebies over getting a new HDT Class 8 tractor, but one of those puppies sure would be nice! Could you imagine the ride?

Well since I usually have no problem showing my "ig-nurnce", at least according to the wife unit, I guess I'll show it again here..

I noticed on the spec sheet that this unit had "lateral drive".

What exactly is that and how does it work??

Is it the same theory as a "rear steer" like GMC has? Pierce Fire Apparatus makes rear steer units that allow the rear wheels to turn in conjunction with the front steering. As an example, we turned a 95 ft platform unit, which is about 45 ft in length +/- completely 360 degrees around in a parking lot in only 5 parking spaces!

Says one of the options is lateral drive. The rear pick up and moves sideways into parking spots.

One of these parked next to me last summer - owner said that (for the "Ultra" 3&4 slide models at least) the coach part was built by Teton. Looking at the interior pictures on their website appears to confirm that.

An interesting thing is that the shorter models (45 ft or so) actually cost more than the longer ones. They have to cut off about 5 ft of the back of the truck's cab.
