I was always amazed with the rigs some folks have on here, til I saw this.

Did anyone notice the Smart car on the back of the truck at 1:40. Maybe I can talk the wife into getting a "big" truck. :D

I saw that. When we went to Sturgis in '09, there was a semi pulling a huge fiver and one of his bikes was loaded like that car.

We were camping at Cherry Creek in Denver this summer and there was a semi TV there with a Smart Car on it. But this guy one-upped all of those because he had a large frame and lift system. It looked like he might be able to put the car on the lower spot and a bike or something else on the upper spot. I'll see if I got a picture of it and post it.

Yak, thanks for the post. Can't tell you how much time I've spend, watching in amazement at all the videos from RV Hauler. I've been aware of the configurations, but had no idea about all that went into those and their potential.

Once you tow with an HDT, you won't wanna tow with anything else. The best move that I made. I haven't towed my toyhauler with my Dodge every since. The biggest difference is the stopping ability, along with the comfort that they provide. You get into the hills, and they just putt right along. I love my truck,...no more wear and tear on my pickup.

I'm guessing that the video was taken by a Drone, one of the latest and rerouted hot topics here.

It looked to me like it was a drone. Watch the shadow from about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The sun is from behind and the little shadow of the drone can be seen up ahead.

Careful gentlemen. Remember, no droning on! :rofl:

Two things I seen in the video.
#1 It was filmed by a drone at a rally. Maybe/maybe not the filming and fly over was discussed as part of the rally.
#2 I thought maybe these RVs are owned by Comm. truck drivers. But, as the drone flies past the trucks none that I seen had the required DOT markings on the doors. So, these where private owned trucks "Not for hire". I wish I had that type of cash to live and travel like that. If I did I guess I would need to have a 40 ft boat to pull around. I can wish can't I.

You know there are some big, beautiful trucks in that video. I look at those and think about riding through Destin, Ft. Lauderdale etc. and looking at the huge yachts seemingly everybody owns and think......where in the world do that many people get that kind of money to buy those kinds of toys:confused:? I think it's a high hog day when I can buy the bun length ALL BEEF hot dogs instead of the little short chicken/pork things :)
