I'm speechless! That is just one WAY COOL rig.

There is a military trailer like that near me but if I go buy it I'll have to convert it to a camper because that will be where I'll be living after she finds out we need a 6X6 tractor!

Very Nice Display

Nice trailer. We had one like that when I was a kid growing up on my grandfathers farm in Louisiana. He bought it from the Red River Arsenal in 1947 for $50.00 it is long gone now as is the old Diamond T and the CCKW he had.
