Staged and ready to leave for the Illinois State Fair. This train is just barely legal length under Illinois State Law.

 

Staged and ready to head out to The Illinois State Fair. We're just under the length limit as dictated by Illinois State Law. This rig pulls straight and sweet!

 

How long is that set up? Not often you see someone hauling like that.

 

Bought a new fifth wheel during spring break, down in South Carolina.

 

I got 10.5 at about 65-70 but I also had a bad cylinder in my truck when I towed it last so when I finish my rebuild I hope it goes up

That camper looks nice how long is it?

 

2015 F350 6.2 gas. lie-o-meter is saying 10.5 mpg going about 60mph.

 

10.5-11 consistently while pulling....Iam sure it could be a little better but every time we head out we end up climbing some 6-8% Grades & the biggest reason...
I have a heavy foot & travel fast

That combo looks great together....Guessing a 34'

 

Yeah I like it. It's a 41' fifth wheel. Kinda big I guess, but just a few feet longer overall (truck + trailer) than the setup we drove down from Alaska in. Dry its 11,900 and 2165 hitch.

 

Here are two pics that I hate to share; hopefully it'll serve as a reminder to y'all. Pics are only about 8 hours old (heading out tomorrow).

I forgot to lock it once hitched.

 

Man, my anus puckered up just seeing those photos. I've always feared that happening.

 

My DAD has done that too, as well as hit the Cab while turning

Sorry to hear, drink a few cold one's after arriving at camp

 

Here's one from a couple of years ago when we were visiting the Dakota's.

 

Can a Super Duty based Excursion play here too?
This is our current setup, '05 V-10 EX pulling a '14 Jayco Eagle 338RETS TT. The TT is 41' long and weighs 11k, we have done a lot of work to the EX to improve it's towing abilities and it does very well. We typically see between 8 and 9.25 MPG with this combo.





Army, Ouch! I feel for you man, just keep repeating to yourself "it's only sheet metal".

 

Illinois law allows you to pull a boat behind the camper as long as both trailers have brakes and the total length of all three units doesn't exceed 60 feet. With the lower unit of the Sea Ray in the full up position our total length is just inches under the 60 foot maximum. It really handles well.

 

yeah man bring it one the more the merrier that is a good looking set you got there
