On Monday, the 11th, this rig rumbled into the slot next to ours. While we have seen a few of this type of combination we haven't been quite so up close and personal.



No small pickup truck involved here. These folks have a Volvo cab with a 500 horse engine, pulling a Double Tree Suites 5th wheel ... what a neat outfit. To quote, "We don't even know the trailer is back there." No kidding!




From our patio you can see over the rear wheels of the semi cab the motorized rack that lifts the Gold Wing motorcycle from the ground up onto its resting place. They've removed the second set of rear wheels that are normally seen on a semi tractor.




Actually the cab itself is classified as a non-commercial RV in its own right complete with double bed, TV, fridge and microwave. Not a bad combo especially in light of having to do repairs on either half of the rig because you always have a bed and TV, eh.
