lockmup68 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 going to a meeting for work at the Hampton Inn this morning and this was in the parking lot. Saw a family walk out and get in, couple and three kids. Michigan plates. Spacecraft maybe? Looked ~45fter or so. Sorry I was tied up and couldn't say hi. Anybody on the forum. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkoenig24 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'd say close to 60' just for the trailer. I wonder if the rearmost "slide" is actually a side loading, drop down door for a toy hauler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not Space Craft. Looks like RV's By Design or someone like that. Recreation By Design..

Chuck Williams Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 If that was in the parking lot at the Hampton Inn in Franklin TN., he has some excellent driving skills. That parking lot is too small for a rig that size. 2006 Freightliner M2-112 Sportchassis 2015 Keystone Raptor 412-TS Lots of motorcycles and toys Murfreesboro, TN.

It was a couple and 3 kids. Looked like they were checking out of the hotel. No other rigs around. Didn't look like carnies. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Rod Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 It was a couple and 3 kids. Looked like they were checking out of the hotel. No other rigs around. Didn't look like carnies. So I'm wondering what exactly you expect a carnie to "look" like? By carnie you mean someone who lives and works on the road full time? Kind of like most of the folks on this forum?

The rig, gear, and folks didn't look like they were carnies, Just looked like a family rig. Typically, carnies travel together as well. Known a few over the years and just didn't fit the profile of people I know who were in the biz. I could be wrong. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdonlybob Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Wow....a handful to park in most camp areas....would be limited to RV parks for sure... NO disrespect to Carnies, but usually their rigs are not that new. Also curious, with a rig like that why stay in a motel ??Cheers, Bob 1989 Safari Serengeti 34'Towing a 1952 M38A1 Military Willys Past HDT owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
