Not my thing, and it is over the top, but I’m surprised the comments are so negative in this sub, especially.

Yeah, it's strange and unappealing to see so many users apparently incensed about an impractical, custom-built rig, in a subReddit about weird motor vehicles.

it looks like he needs a set of Tag axles just to keep the rig from bottoming out the tail

Center of Gravity is probably pretty dang high compared to a normal use of an F350; and any kind of side wind load has to make that overall combination prone to toppling over.

Cheaper to drive something that gets 50mpg and get a hotel if you're going more than a couple hundred miles, lol.

When you get to be an older guy it's not always about money. It's often about finding a place to pee. With that thing where ever you are is where you go!

Just get a Class 8 truck at that point. I average 8.5mpg with an average gross weight of 36,000lbs with a 15L engine.

Damn… must be nice to have that kind of money.

That’s gotta suck going uphill.

F350 duallies have a payload capacity of up to 6000-8000 pounds, depending on the configuration. And you can get diamond plate in pretty thin sheets - for cosmetic purposes, as thin as .025 inches.

So it’s possible this was built in a manner that is well within the limits of the vehicle.

My first thought was he was trying to up-sale the truck with it by talking about how good he has taken care of it. I do not, for one second, doubt that he has done great maintenance on it, but carrying that glorious camper has had to have some impact. This is not a criticism by any means at all.

That’s an a/c on the front isn’t it.

Surely it can’t be allowable for anyone to build some crazy untested and unapproved construction on their vehicle and go out on public roads with it.

You can take the guy out the trailer park, but you can’t….

When idiots end up with too much money, they do dumb shit like this.
