EH?!?! That'll get you 'rested down here!


I did have to go to Art Morrisons today to get the housing for Rudy's Pro Street er.... and decided I'd stop by Freightliner. They had a Cascadia out front - unlocked - so I jumped up in there. Dude! I felt like a freshman in high school. That thing is BIG! Kool! But BIG!

I found out they offer EIGHT THOUSAND OPTIONS when ordering a big truck! My order for the truck only - was 14 pages worth of "stuff". A lot of which is just choosing this or that... but I had no idea there would be 8,000 choices! Most of which I had no idea what any of it even was! There has to be 100 front axle choices... a gazillion more rear choices... all kinds of different air options etc. I'm going to have to hang out with some trucker dudes to figure out what I have!

Just be careful.

TOE TAPPERS!!!!

So my wife has now "re-thought" how many of these "events" she'd like to travel to.... So I put the order in cancel mode. Having them hold my deposit.. because if this is the case I'm going to drop down to a "car guy type" living quarters and maybe just a two car hauler.

Thinking about how it's used has been a major dilemma for me anyway. I've been wrestling with this for 4 or 5 years now!

The part I like the best about car stuff -- is the people. I like running to shows etc with my other buddies. Sometimes there's 3 or 4 trailers heading out. With the GIANT rig - this would severely restrict where and I could travel and going from Willams to St Helena was a major test of what and where I could go. I want to be able to go freely... WITHOUT hassle. 75' of truck and trailer would ADD hassle not eliminate it.



SO HERE'S THE 63 DOLLAR QUESTION:

If you could -- would you


Go with a "sport truck" 4 door M2 style chassis and living quarter w/ 2 car stacker gooseneck trailer?


Or


Smaller toter home (17') with 2 car stacker gooseneck trailer?

Which platform will give you adequate horsepower and space?

Which will deliver acceptable mobility?

What platform will be most desirable when it comes time to sell?

Would this get the job done?


or this?


Charlie would you buy either for 10 cents on the dollar?

I'd have to see pic's of the options before answering. But being as frugal minded as I am I would go with a trailor that has the living quarters incorporated and by a crew cab dually to tow with.

[Blake Foster]

have you considered a motorhome with a 24-26 foot 2 car stacker???
that way the length is not outragious and the living quarters are super nice, even if you a wifie want to go away with out the cars???
the qestion i struggle with in my descission making is what ti the MOST important hauling cars or comfort on the road??
do i buy a Ironworks setup to move all the cars and display stuff i can find pay a ton of extra fees costs regulations, and have to stay in hotels everynight. or get a big toter and smaller trailer (that can take the majority of what we need) and be comfortable on the road, pull into rest areas or Walmart and set up camp instead of trying to find a hotel at 11 pm that i can park the rig at???
for you i could see the motor home (big diesel pusher ) and a small 2 car stacker trailer being a great option.
