Big Rigs

Wed May 1, 2013

Overcast this AM and cool. Sunny and mid 80s in afternoon.  Stayed at the site today, all day. Carol struggled with learning Windows 8 and IE 10 on her new laptop, and I was no help at all.  We even have a how-to book.   Time… I guess. 

On our walk around the park this morning I thought would be interesting to get some pictures of the big rigs… not Class A, but 5th wheel.  There is a rally of the New Horizons RV Owners here and these are really something. The website is HERE    Most are 40 to 42 feet long, pulled by something big and diesel that can haul the heavy weight. A number also have a “smart car” that can drive up and sit sidewise behind the cab.  Most of the RVs have three sets of wheels under them.  They are custom made in Junction City KS.  All of the folks we have spoken to are full-timing… no other home; but most have legal residence in Sioux Falls SD.  That is where they get their licenses; have their mail forwarded etc…  Fun to look at but I don’t envy paying for fuel. And it wouldn't make it into our driveway.

 

Here are 11 pictures:
