Biggest S. O . B I have ever seen!!!
I will post pics of this rig tomorrow after we get to KC. I have no idea who it was made by but it is 57 ft long, has 6 slides, 6 wheels on 3 axles and is towed by a 2500 short bed Chevy pickup. I could not believe the size of this thing. The first time I saw it I thought is was 2 rigs back to back. Here is a link to a slide show of the unit. I shot these as I was driving through the CG. At 57 ft I would be hard pressed to park it in a normal CG..... P.S. it takes a minute or so to load

"Continental" makes super big rigs, saw a 50 ft model at their plant, but they say they will build anything. That link, looks like a "Continental" to me. They start at 250k and can reach 600k! "New Horizons" makes units in 44 foot and above range, I believe. Very heavy and require permits in most States. No 2500 pickup should even be allowed to tow near that beast! Those manufactures normally depict a full Tractor, or at least big Duallys towing their rigs!

I think maybe he does not have enough truck. We have seen one of those perhaps a earlier year at a State fairgrounds..

WOW.....Guess if you have to have it and have the cash....why not but the P/U is so over loaded....
Then again, Stupid is as Stupid does!
Even Bigboomer would have a tough time yanking that around figuring that coach has to be into 25,000#'s or more. Cannot imagine the pin weight on it.

Maybe he was towing with another truck and the 2500 is his toad? I can't imagine towing that thing at all! Wow.

I was at a campground at Cheney,WA and a rig like that pulled in and I could not believe they made them that big it was a Luxury by Design and it was as big as a Park model and he was towing it with a Freightliner FL60 and they had a hard time finding a space for him, but you say this guy was towing it with a 2500 Chevy shortbed???? the Dude has a few screws loose  NO WAY would I own something that big it would be hard to find a resort to handle something that big

And what do you think the odds are is that the driver is underrated on his Driver's license, too? Probably only has a Class C and needs closer to Class A with the weights and weight ratings involved.

Thumbs up on the rig. Thumbs down on choice of tow vehicle if in fact a half ton truck.

How did a 2500 in the original post become a half ton truck?

I see a motorcycle and a quad there too. I doubt that came in behind that truck. Check out the crank down stabilizers on the rear! They must be a heck of a lot stouter than the ones I've seen.

They are workamping there, the park owner said that he towed it in with his 2500. They do have a lot of toys but that has no bearing on what he towed it in with.

Dave, I guess what I was inferring was how did he get the toys AND the 5th wheel there. He must not be far from home base. I didn't know you had talked to someone that witnessed him towing it in.
