Stickman81 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hey everyone! Yesterday I spotted my first HDT and Camper combo. We were on I-10, west bound in Alabama at about the #3 mile marker at about 1500 HRS. It happened pretty fast as there was a good bit of traffic and I did not see the rig until at about my 10 o'clock position. The rig was East bound on I-10. It was a darker red Volvo, perhaps a 630. The fifth wheel camper was pretty good sized. It was also a darker red with black stripe accents I believe. So, If that was you, I will wave at you now because I did not have time to yesterday. Safe travels to all, Jim Jim Noob entertaining the idea of an HDT and 5'ver. I like big trucks and I cannot lie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 That could have been 13 speed on this forum. He has a new red Volvo and a new 47' New Horizons red and black strips. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13speed Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Yes that was me. We were heading to Destin. I did not notice any other HDT's but there was quite a bit of traffic as you said.

lockmup68 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 I was headed from Dothan to south of Panama City on same day. Passed two HDTs pulling 5vers going north on the 21st and 22nd, driving down 65 from Middle, TN to FL. Both Volvos, one was white with blue graphics and the 2nd was green maybe? We are parked 50 yards from the beach for a month south of Panama City. Christmas on the beach ain't a bad thing. 30 degrees high in Nashville today, so good choice. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 I've stayed at Camp Gulf in Destin but stay away from the beach. The onshore winds during the day blow sand into everything, slide mechanisms, steps. Sand gets inside the rig everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13speed Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Destin was getting chilly so we are headed down to Tampa and Fort Myers. I forgot how much I really like FL. 1 hour ago, rdickinson said: I've stayed at Camp Gulf in Destin but stay away from the beach.

We took the girls to the dog beach on Sunday in the Volvo and OMG like you said sand everywhere! Fun as it was I am not sure if we will do that again. A hour and a half of fun required 2 hours of dog baths and Volvo vacuuming(: Chris, Tracey, Aria & Lola 2018 Volvo VNR 400, D13 I-Shift 2018 NH 48' Majestic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of both worlds. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrformance Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Welcome to Paradise Fella's, the weather is why I live here and why I now own an HDT.
