Looking to buy a Travel Trailer

[spence]

A few years ago some distant relatives of mine were retired and touring the country with their trailer and wanted to meet me. They show up in an F350 dually. The trailer was 57 feet! They didn’t show up with the trailer obviously, not sure where they parked it.

57' is hard to believe, unless it's a tractor trailer and at most those are 52'

Some states allow a bit over 57 but I think most are 53. That’s essentially a semi trailer. At that point why not just buy a luxury motor home with a vehicle on the back for side trips? I didn’t see it but they seemed happy. Can’t imagine what the gas bills were like.

Yeah 53' is correct, I'd rather sleep in a hotel/motel
