Jim L , yep the you could fit 4 interstates in this, Also could fit my 911 it was 14.5 long, the last 3 years after my youngest moved out we rented our house in VA in 07, and put our stuff in storage loaded the Valk and took off across the Country, ended up in Bellingham WA stayed there for 3 mo, beautiful place did some part time work for a old friend i knew from Ca, did i say it rained to MUCH! If i were going to get a Tailgate again i would make sure the cargo area had a door to keep the Gas smell out of living area, had to take bike out at knight some times fumes to much, great trip, Just figured i would cheat death and do my around the country RV trip before i die lol!! here is my first ultra Light 3500 lb on the Eastern Shore, the problem with RV's is it is a toss up what is more fun that or Motorcycle.  |

I am hoping to do exactly what you did in a few years....just gotta get the kids out of college and off the payroll first. I figure I could easily spent 3-4 years touring the continental US to visit the places I want to see (Alaska will definitely a summertime trip)! Thanks for posting the photos....it is always good to get ideas from those who have already gone down that path. Jim |

where I work, we have some little ones and some REALLY big ones. we have a 14 trailor, looks like a haulmark only isnt, diamond plate floor, and has 2 slides like a pop-up, 1 on each side. on the other end, is the wolf pack 396wp. 2 story, behomoth. 39 ft long sleeps 12(if you wanted) has a full kitchen, bar plasma tv, satelite, and the garage has its own gas pump with a 25 gallon tank and can hold 4 full sized bikes. plus it has its own separate ac and heating system...12k to 70k. lots in between. You could add a slide to your lil trailor for around 3500$ open it up an extra 2 feet. might be something to think about.

thanks guys,those are awsome,any certain item that really sticks out as very useful, I am gonna keep the car hauler look on the outside with the exception of windows,but nothing but class on the inside.I am going to teach myself how to post photos some time in the next couple of days when I have time,and Ill post beginning to end photos,but will take all the ideas I can get.
Man I love that fat tire valk Dogg.
