Overhang Hall of Shame

OK, I've got the solution then. Both the Barth and the boat should have a large Banana shaped tube welded on the top. In that tube is a large, heavy steel ball. That ball is held to the rear of said banana by a large electromagnet. When needed, magnet is reversed pushing the ball forward with force. The momentum from the ball reaching the front of the banana propels you over the obstruction. And.......you can potentially get Chiquita or Dole to sponsor you.

Looks like you might have to add weight to the front axle to be able to control it on a road with a few dips. The front tires wouldn't have much weight on them.

If you had a big dog I bet you could easily tell when he jumped up on the aft bed.

Another nominee? Perhaps Coachmen and Winny shared designs?

If you need a few extra feet.

and if you need to to carry more weight, just add a tag axle.

I wonder if he's a trucker?

Here's one that doesn't even look right.

Now I know why they call it a NewMar. Wherever there is a bump, it leaves a new.....mar!

It is all the more interesting for its lack of drag wheels under the bumper.

It also has a left side ladder. Most Class As have it on the right. Anyone guess why?

The ladder is on the passenger side, right?

That ladder is on the right, passenger, starboard side. You can see by looking at the bottom bracket, it's on the right of the spare.

OOPS!

I posted that shortly after rising, and my eyes, brain and my monitor need more warmup they had.

Bill, Perhaps you were looking at it in your mirror as you combed your hair. That would explain everything

I never look in a mirror until I have been up for a while and things start working right.

A cuppa Kona really helps.
