Strange Attachment
I'v seen lots of things attached to a trailer but never one of these.
It's a telescope. I saw it at the military CG in San Diego and then in Tucson.

That's a cool observatory dome. It's not completely useful for the 360º rotation, though, as the trailer itself is going to block the path. I wonder if the slide room is equipped with red lights (easier on the eyes as you star gaze)...that could cause other problems.

First thought it was a hot tube with a built on dome.

Looks like it's on a lift/platform. Wonder if he can raise it or take it off and move it for complete rotation. He should add a little entry tunnel to the front and call it an Igloo

Imagine the torque that is putting on the trailer frame driving down the road.

That's what I thought. He has cables and turnbuckles holding it to the TT. Oh well people do strange things.

Has to be able to be disassembled since I don't believe it can stay there travelling down the road. If it needs jacks on the 2 back corners of the additional section when stationary on the site, it's obviously not going to handle the bounces while driving down the road.
