How many axles do you have???

So far as I know all Montana and Mountaineer 5th wheels have 2 axles. I have seen may other brands with 3 (tri) axles. But how about a 4 axle??

Countem, 4 axles
Anybody recognize the manufacturer??

We talk about lug nuts on this forum a lot. Can you imagine the stress on those lug nuts when turning. I wouldn't stand too close, they could pop off of there like bullets during a tight turn. WOW is right.

As I hold my sides from the laughing at your comments, Harleyrider and azstar,

I wonder how you would make a turn, like a 90 degree turn, oh, heck ANY turn with that thing???

More questions:: how much do you think the insurance is on that monster, or how about the license tabs (if they go on weight it would be high, if they go on value it would be high, GULP!)

One thing, you sure could take along the stick built in that thing, would not have to throw out much, would ya???

What a hoot!

Carol

In another post we talked about states legal lengths.
Wonder how many states you can legally drag that sucker thru.

I think you would need to own a tire store if that was your rig!!

Dennis is wondering how much a wheel alignment would cost? If it could even be done. Probably take a week to do it?

Have not seen 4 axles but have seen a couple of 5th wheels with three axles and the rear ones were dually! They were huge!

That unit is huge. In looking at his TV, I wonder how much of a pain it would be to take to the mall or for groceries!!!

All the toll bridges I've gone over, they charge by the number of axels. Hope this dude don't have to cross many of those.

Some toll highways do the same thing. I used to pay a premium with I towed a boat trailer behind a fifthwheel. But the longer way around cost just as much in fuel so I paid the toll.
