Truck too tall for your rig?
If you boondock in the real boondocks and are tired of your rig not having the clearance your truck has, or if you just need to get the rig up to the right height for your manly truck, here's the mod you've been looking for: http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/...cationing1.jpg You'll notice that the place for Grannie to ride going down the road has been upgraded from a rocker in the sun to a glider seat in the shade!

Nice.... and the swing is big enough for granny to lie down for a nap. And in high water you can use that to wake granny up, but be nice and drive slow.

My guess would be Larry may be getting it as a trade after they try it out.

I'm guessing that the unmodified trailer is close to most maximum state restrictions on height. This definitely will exceed ALL state restrictions. It's a good thing this rig is parked at a dealer's lot. It might not ever get sold to a knowing customer. I'd like to know about the ignorant owner that buys this one, then can't go under any overpasses.
Nevertheless, it does have a great wow and cool factor from my point of view. DW thought it was "a joke" and definitely "impractical" (actually she used a different term but I can't post what she really said).

I'm guessing they wouldn't have any problems emptying the black tank hose?

I'm wondering how does one release the hitch pin on that rig? Maybe with the same ladder used to get in the back door.
