Oddly enough, no except possibly in California (I hate California anyway and have no desire to go there again but if needs must, I'll check their regulations) although another 2 feet in length of truck + tow and I would in some other States.

 

Those are the same States that will not allow triple towing (truck + caravan + boat).

 

If you notice the caravan connector in the center of the truck bed, you can see that it effectively shortens the length by having the pin connect a few feet into the truck rather than behind the bumper. Easier towing by far (ask the HGV drivers) and less overall length.

WOW, looking forward to having a good look around all of that with the two of you! I bought my Greyhound Pass the other day and some US dollars when the buck was at its lowest.

we will be living in the fifth wheel by then, Ian, so you'll have lots of chances to look around that and the truck. most excellent on getting one step closer to your visit.

Here's the truck we are in the process of buying that has the power to haul the fifth wheel and the boat and also the brakes system to handle that weight. You should see me trying to drive it. (fell out of it when I opened the door)

Not worried about global warming then?

 

Our government have encouraged 'gas guzzlers' off the road in the last budget.

Do you think the UK is making a bit more effort that other countries in the World?

na, it's the government running out of ideas on what things to tax us on.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

isn't the truck bigger than the entire of the Isle of Wight? :P

You would certainly get a few comments if you tried to drive it around here with that box attached. :huh:

 

Did you say it is your House? Why hasn't it got a thatched roof! :o

 

Reminds me of, about 1985 when I went on board USS America, she couldn't fit into Portsmouth Harbour and used The Island as a mooring bouy! :rolleyes:

 

Newt I wouldn't want to reverse that with a boat hitched! :huh:

Nope. You do not try to back up without unhooking the boat first.
