Henry, a KW doesn't have the side lights that a Volvo has at the back of the cab and, in this case, you really should add an amber light behind the tandems (on the fender support arm) as a minimum and preferably a red marker light at the end of the frame on the side.
As long as that extension is, and as Rick noted, painted black, it will be REALLY easy for a bicycle or motorcycle to not see that extension at night and create a serious issue.
These rigs are often parked at night by themselves due to shear size in overflow areas or even during fueling or grocery runs. I know you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if you caused an acident or worse, killed someone due to that oversight.
Is that the only light on the side of the truck over the front tire? Where are the faring lights that are came from the factory with? Hope the poor lighting doesn’t cause a problem for people when changing lanes and not seeing a blinker. Good luck with the over hang on some of the rough highways out there. I hope the owner has enough sense to put lights,reflectors or something. Just another thing to draw attention to ourselves on the highway. Glad it’s not mine.
Good reminder, Rick. It’s okay to build outside the box but the further we stray from compliance the more we place ourselves on the radar for regulation. Sooner or later it will bite us on the backside.
Been to sikeston 2 times in November last year and both were good as far as restaurant food. We will stop there again Friday. We stay in the back lot overnight. It is ok to do that. They also have a campground that they built right next to the restaurant. All full hook ups. I think it’s 40 a night. It is a quiet stay. We’ll see how a Friday night goes.
