Stretch's Haspin road train

[Stretch44875]

Leave nothing behind!

Jeep in bed of deuce, camper, and car trailer will have hillbilly racing tractors on it. 3 guys in the cab for 200+ miles, at 50 mph. YEA!

Added a brake controller to the deuce to run the camper brakes. The car trailer has surge brakes on both axles, that have been completely rebuilt, with new actuator on the tongue.

On the back of the camper I welded a 4x4x 1/4" wall piece of square tubing to the frame, which is 5x2" box frame. Then welded a 2" reciever hitch in it, and 2, 3/4 inch eye bolts.

So everything has brakes, lights, safety chains, and good tires.

Overall length is 64 feet. Just test drove it and the trailers track well, with very little sway.

RE: Stretch

Only thing missing is a small child (picture goggles and helmit) ratchet strapped on the back of the trailer with a huge bolder connected with a short chain.. and a long peice of binder twine going from the cab of the deuce and hooked to the kids ear. Your crazy stretch but I am sure will do fine..

The real reason why people are upset is because the camper is not OD green. You ought to fix that.

You got more balls than me, my friend. Good thing you only have 200 miles to get there, I would be scared sh*tless driving that over the Appalachians 530 miles to Haspin like that....

So who's driving the rear escort car to catch the things that fall off? You might want to find a hi-speed front-end loader...
