You don't see this very often, I cannot imagine him having somebody pull out in front of him then having to do a quick maneuver. Talk about the pucker factor!

Observe the distance the RV keeps between him and the vehicle in front, even at a stop light...

Given the time to avoid, in a reasonably calm manner, because of the distance between vehicles...turn the RV, all fall in line behind it...

I mean, how many tandem trailer UPS trucks do we see on the roads?  Same thing...

Now, here's what I want to see...back that beeatch down a ramp!!! :scratch:  :scratch:  :scratch:

Bob, we were both still moving. He pulled on up right behind the other guy. I know about the big trucks, but to see an individual towing like that that is unusual, around here anyway. I am not sure if its even legal in GA. Notice there are no brake lights on any of his vehicles.
I have actually thought about towing this way myself. First the truck, then the Airstream, Then the boat.

Lewis, I've seen it a number of times, always give it a second look...figure the driver is an ex-UPS over-the-roader... :wink:
