I'm glad to see you are outgunning Rodger on the RIG. Are we on the Nascar schedule next year or did I miss the memo? :unibrow: :rofl:

I think you should paint the western mural from Snowman's rig in Smokey and the Bandit on the trailer. If you are spending all of this money, you want the outside to be just as classy as the inside.

Yeah -- I'm going to have some tweaker taggers in the area do some "artwork" on it. :cheers:

Perhaps I missed it somewhere, but do you have to get special licensing to drive that rig? That joker is a monster, hope you make it down to RTTA again next year in it. :)

As long as it's not COMMERCIAL - which it's not... we do not have to do anything special in WASHINGTON... and that's the state where it'll be registered to... and my license is from.

Yes -- I agree -- it's gotten to be a bit of a monster. Originally I had envisioned a 17' toter (same Freightliner Cascadia class 8 truck)... and a 36' stacker. But like most things "automotive" -- you start poking around and then things tend to get bigger!

Once I saw that you could get a queen sized "bedroom" it was game over.... that meant it had to be a 22' 'box' - then for 2 more feet - you get the galley all on one side and the larger push out on the opposite side. Once you've been inside. You can no longer "live with" the 17' or even the 19'.

I had to shrink the stacker 2' in order to stay legal... and I didn't even want to do that.

Will you go through any kind of special class/course to learn to drive a rig like that? I wouldn't think it would be something you just pick up and drive. ;-)

It's only 20' longer than what I drive now. My plan is to pick it up at the factory and then cruise through New York City. If I survive that. I'll bring it home. Hahahahahahaha
