Ur gay u just don't know it yet😂
What makes you think I don't know it? BWahaha
Have you seen the size of RV closets you be to able to fit in it to come out! 😂
You need to keep you mouth shut and scroll on
The tie-down process isn’t complete until you smack the thing tied down and say “that ain’t goin anywhere.” That’s just a simple fact. In fact, the thing isn’t entirely secure until you do so.
Yup, it’s science!
Im left thinking that the actual quote is the double negative of ‘that ain’t going nowhere’ foreshadowing just what’s going to happen in the end, it’s going everywhere!
She,ll ride
@@andrewchapman4313 great point haha
no joke, mechanics are drilled to do a shake test when jacking up the vehicle, then say "that's not going anywhere" if it hasn't fell already. 😉
I hope I don't have to share the road with some of these contraptions.
Lmfao!! The second story on the motorhome is awesome 😂
Watch out for low overpasses.
The VW RV was a cover story in Popular Mechanics magazine in the 70's with a huge article about it and they even sold a full set of plans too. It was such a good idea that some aftermarket companies built some ready to go for the retail market...❤
Yes some fans of the channel sent me info on them that I include in my next video in this series, #3
Has anyone seen that short that has since been removed with the truck pulling a gooseneck flatbed with pull behind camper w/o wheels on it plus a four wheeler, commercial welder, and a sizeable grill! The rig awesome! Regular apocalypse rig😂
That short was a workman's RV. Redneck engineering at its finest.
for a min it sounded like you was talking about mine
i have a bumper pull no welder lol
@@vDRACv there was a short on here for a bit! It was like the guy had his whole home and work mobile.
@@mikeklinger1712 I'm a truck driver
I do see all kinds of set-ups
I can imagine
I get some looks myself when I'm taking the jet ski out
With my custom-built ride barbecue pit motorcycle jet ski trailer
More evidence reality is stranger than fiction. And ingenuity is apparently an infinite duality. 🤔🤣
Many Of these Are genuinely Creative genius, a few Are TOO EXPENSIVE , & Too many are just Accidents waiting To happen!
Back in the late 60 early 70s Born free built a extra long Cabover camper with a extra set of helper wheels like the camper on the blue Ford.
12:58 this is what the Midwest calls a "trailer dollie" and is used by people like RV dealers to scoot fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers around without needing a large truck... bigger versions are used to link multiple semi trailers together. Think FexEx or Old Dominion freight trucks.
Todays RV'ers aren't any wackier than decades going back. Think of the family truckster station wagon with a big old travel trailer hooked up to it with the cars gas tank scraping the ground. How about a '69 Nova with an air stream rolling down the highway.
Agreed… I am working on #3 and I have some old black and whites in this one…. Should be out in a few days
The 2nd axel that the truck with a boat on top is called a jeep in the heavy haul world...
1:17 Is a real vintage camper, they are pretty uncommon but a popular brand was called "Born Free"
The extra wheels are called boggie wheels, just like a lot of big rigs have. I've seen a few more modern slide in campers have them too.
Yeah! That’s what I thought when I saw it! That thing was built using, I think, 3 full size GM station wagons! They used it for years!!!
The beetle was a classic that was a purchased vehicle. If you find one buy it, last one I saw was 25K!
Too funny, Joe! The only crazy rig you didn't include was the homemade house like Timmy Johnson has on Truck House Life. He cut the bed off his truck and can still tow that part functioning as a toy hauler and portable fuel station as it still has the gas tanks. Amazing videos of a dude adventuring where most people wouldn't think of driving!
Thanks. I watch him sometimes. That is a great idea and will try to include him in #3!
The air stream on the HD is nice !
Saw one for sale like the one at 4:08. It was for sale about 25 years ago in CA and was a 4x4 mobile medical lab and had the twirly lights at top. Think that's what made me want my first RV too. I didn't get that one but will always remember it.
The Volkswagen at the beginning is actually a production camper.
It was in Popular Mechanics magazine, I think by R.Q. Riley..... He did sell plans.
Yup. And it was based on a regular Beetle, not a convertible. You unbolted the body and cut it at the front bulkhead, then built the camper on top of the rest of the floor pan.
Your only half right, it was a PM magazine feature. Read my comment...
Read my post from a week ago above yours..@@miketwomey4923
The youtuber MAV has a Volkswagen Beetle that he's added a popup camper to, and he also bought a Toronado mashup with an Olds Toronado.
love those turning wheels on the trailer, thats awesome, i pull trailers all the time, and that could help alot here on the farm, and general driving
The Rv on the flat bed truck is a work of genius!
I love the monster camper ( looks like the rv from Stripes) probably cost half mill. Lol
Gonna take a swing at the next big RV “thing”. Second story or some sort of upward “slide out”.
A dealer I worked for once hired a newbie salesman for RV's once! His first and last, sale was a F/W to a customer with a Suburban, why didn't we think of that.....🤔
Oops!! Lol
That is a good salesman!😂
>>SPIES LIKE US
Here in manitoba we are able to pull 2 trailers behind a pickup if u do gooseneck on the truck with a bumperhitch behind that trailer
I think the class "D" (Deutsch) "German" LOL..VW bug was maybe a kit, I saw a few of those back in the 60's!
Class D for “Dayummm”” lol
You can do almost anything with a VW Bug
Very interesting video. Really enjoyed it. I love that you promote other channels in your videos like Watts on Wheels. I’ve never watched them before but I will now.
Thanks. I subscribed
@@RVingWithJoe I did as well. Look forward to seeing more vids!
Way back in the 70s a friend of mine built a log cabin camper on the back of his 55 Chevy truck it was nice he used to go to Cherokee NC for the summer he sold leather crafts
I can see a market for cardboard softeners to go under the corners where the straps go. The cardboard would be stronger than the RV itself.
Dude, just cut and fold cardboard yourself for the same thing as you suggested. Add some ridges so that they won't slip out from under the straps. Use construction adhesive and wrap with duct tape to weatherproof and even use white D tape for the last few layers to look better...
There's some serious red-neck creativity going on here.
My favorite is that old Ford four-wheel drive pickup truck with that homemade rig on the back of it it looks like something I did when I was a teenager with about four my drunk friends we made a rig to take the Daytona 500 Enfield and it was so nasty they wouldn't let us stay inside so we put it out in the parking lot and left it there that was in the early seventies
An interesting episode would be about schoolies and highway buses converted to homes/campers.
I camped with a group in Quartzsite where someone had the top of a VW bus stuck to the roof of the schoolie.
That VW camper was produced years back by a regular manufacturer. Not sure just how many but they were seen regularly in SoCal.
OMG,, lol, this was great! I just found you, & I live here in Daytona and we have a dozzzzzzzzzzzzy of a camper I see every now & then locally, it is still driving and literally held together with duct tape and busting at the seems! If & when I see it again, I will do my best to snap a pic or video and send it in..
I really love the olld GMC motor homes! They were Oldsmobile powered, 455's at first, then small block 403 ci later..both were slapped on top of a front wheel drive Toronado front drive transaxle. Essentially that transaxle auto transmission was a good old TH400 internally, just shoved into a unique case. Also the ring and pinion is Huge in those things...i believe its 12 in in diameter, like having a 12 in instead of just 9in like a Ford axle with the front mounted pumpkin. Even the axle shafts are heavy duty and rather large in diameter, with just as beefy cv joints at either end of both shafts.
As a life long Oldsmobile lover amd owner and drag racer i have a huge collection of 455 Olds engines, blocks, heads, crankshafts, pistons and rods, and boxes of hi po olds parts. Id love to build a mild but super torquey and bulletproof Olds 455 for one of these RV's. I could even carry a spare engine if i thought it was necessary...but probably wouldnt be. I thought about setting it up with modern efi fuel system but carry a ready to go carburetor and the necessary parts to go with in case emergencies on the road. Computer problems would not leave us stranded! Also like the idea of dual 3 inch stainless exhaust all the way out back somewhere. Pipes that long and maybe 4 mufflers would keep it quiet inside but still allow a little rumble near the tailpipe exits. These large class 8 truck tires and body and chassis lift are all a bit much for me, but i wouldn't say no if someone wanted to gift it to me!
This is great, it’s giving me so many ideas, and I have a few yellow straps as well, thanks
Can’t have too many.
I’ve found my new favorite channel 😂😂😂 thank you for the laughs I needed this video today ❤
So glad to hear!!! Thanks for subscribing
The VW pickup is a production model.
Wow they made a pickup version of that?? I had no idea.
It is not. It's a conversion kit for DIY
Actually that one semi with the camper and car under the overhang isn’t a golf cart. It’s a Suzuki Samarai
How cool , enjoyed this
I have a 31-foot Class C and the first 3 are wana be class C's lol. I like a few of them. The VW's are cool. Been thinking about putting my teardrop trailer on a pontoon boat lol
Australian road train said hold my fifth trailer.
I like the Airstream trailer setup that's a good gig that's a good idea
I can't imagine the hitch on the back of a 5th wheel can be rated to tow it backwards. He may want to invest in a weight distribution hitch. LOL.
I think he will need more than that!!
Backward it's a W/F!
Don’t be scared ! It’s strapped down , hard !
8:50
cool Suzuki samurai! :D
HDT's are really cool! I'm gonna build one!
6:08 that looks like an upside down ball into a homemade pintle hitch
A pop-upon top of a truck, NEVER go out to take a.... "I don't know what happened officer, we had a few beers and said he had to the restroom!" 🚑
lol
The truck with the car in the middle looks like a Suzuki Samurai or Chevy GEO Tracker
I e seen the pop up camper on top of truck before
It’s a great idea.
thsee all look so NICE for the Scrap yard. the things some people think look good and will actually work. so much danger going down the highway.
That RV From movie Stripes is the kind of home you need when the ATF shows up,
Hey as long as it’s strapped down should be good!
That’s not going anywhere.
Hard to say for certain if the trailer is attached to the car at the 7 min mark, but I often see beat up cars with that much sag in the rear just because the suspension is blown out. So it could go either way. If it's real, it must take a mile to stop that thing and I doubt the owner is 100% on his brake maintenance.
Good point.
@ 8:18 you musta missed tha fact that that KW has an KT-1150”cubic inch cummins n it 600 hp from tha factory an now they offer KTTA over 600hp BIG POWER twin-turbo 😎
Well that’s ok. They cal RV’s caravans and the call car hoods “bonnets”. But then these same people call windshields “wind screens”.
Cool thanks 👍👍😊
There is no way the C-class @ 11:52 is legal to operate on the highway because the weight limit of the tow vehicle has been exceeded. Now there's a video on RUclips documenting the infraction.
It fits...it ships😂😂😂
I like the one with 87 antennas ! Cool -
I've saw the chevy double axle camper in Northern California in the early 90's, yes it's real.
12:50 the thing that carry the 5th wheel behind the ford is very common on the road train in Australia (one truck with 3..4... 5 5th wheel)
Golf cart?.... jeezus... that is a Suzuki/GMC tracker 4x4 a very common small SUV
The Ford's no other truck and take a beating and keep on going like those old Fords can
7:20 There's no hitch on the car! You can see more than half of the bumper, so if there were a hitch, it would be visible,
The Walmart one looks like the one I saw in a high speed pursuit in Los Angeles.
I wish I could unsee some things, lol 👍🏼
You made a comment about the trailer on the semi about putting gas in it if you put gas in a diesel it's not going to be very happy😮👎
Good point! Always found it interesting that we call it “gas” since it’s a liquid and not a gas.
Oh my coods . Now I am scared.
generally, if a car is weighed down, you don't see a fucking gap.
lol. Got it. I never ran a car down 100% on a suspension.
In Sweden we have a rv and trailer builder called kabe and they have a trailer calld the kabe tower that was started in the 70th
if you do one more video showing “over the pond” this is maybe something you want to show I think there is 20 or something built and they did a new one for there 60year anniversary
I just googled it. Amazing!!! Thanks
Ok 2:46 ... The pop up mounted on top of the heavy duty steel ladder rack on an older one ton Ford dually...
This might even be an F450, cant read the emblem in the pic. I admit, id use it without shame.
I wouldnt buy it but maybe make my own with some extra stuff laying around.
I once had a very strange 'encounter' with an RV? on Hwy 17 in Northern Ontario in the late 1980's. I was headed West, and this RV? came by heading East - looked EXACTLY like the APC that was in 'Aliens' (1986). Same huge wheels, squat 'armored' OD Green exterior, maybe 30 feet in length. Only saw for a few seconds, as this was at a bend of the road. Somebody's mock up? WEIRD!
deadly acciedent waiting to happen
That VW bug rv was actually sold by a manufacturer.
I did a 10x6 tiny home build on a tent trailer. I got a two foot tall box on my hummer and I have a bike ramp into the tiny home for my enduro. It’s my mobile 5 season cottage and shtf preparedness rig.
Get some! Sounds like a fine rig.
Epic video as always lol. ( i still think #ember designed many of these)😁😁😁😁😁😁
You have to have a sign on it say not in hire
Especially if you want to bypasss the scales.
No you don’t.
Beetle pickup is a kit for the vw beetle
You know - in Australia they have what are called "Road Trains", and they are perfectly legal and sensible under the circumstances. But your "Advanced Tur-Duck-En' examples constitute what I would consider a:
"GROAN TRAIN"
🥺
I would love to see the MPG on any of those setups!
5-11 gph
Thank you for the quick reply!!!
Quite a statistic!
That “Goose neck hitch” looks like the standard 2” hitch but he flipped it upside.
On the bug truck
I forgot what they are called but the 5th wheel hook up with a ball has been around for at least 40yrs. They are popular b/c they are mounted beneath the floor level over the axle and leave a clean and usable floor space in a PU or a flatbed covered by a small metal plate to access the locking system and light lead. As opposed to the 5th wheel common hitch that we always see, companies even sell adapters that slide on and off of any of the pin types so they can be used either way. I just remembered, I think they're called "Goosenecks" as opposed to 5th wheels...
I'm 90% that one Turducken haul with two trucks, a trailer, a tow dolly, and a motorcycle on another trailer technically qualifies as a TRAIN.
Get this person a FRED unit!
Was the airstream that "worlds fastest airstream" Bonneville salt flats racer?
I think of the em50 everytime i see one similar.
Tweeker mobiles😂
It would be nice if your going to do all this, you might want to find out what's what, like the "golf cart" mounted 90°on back of big rig is a Suzuki Samurai. That fifth wheel being towed via bumper is using a fifth wheel tow dolly. Let's get this stuff figured out and edited before you show all this and don't know what the doohickey attached to the thingamajiger on top of I don't know what that dilly bobber is.......n
I thought it was golf cart made to look like a Suzuki samurai, as far as the tow dolly, in all my time I had never seen one so thanks for clarifying. That is a way cool feature

@@RVingWithJoe there are much less expensive options but that one is feature rich.
Look guys - I understand you love the outdoors life , Yes sir ! At some point we should build
A nice little cabin and declare victory ! Keeping the rig for sure . Amen brothers ! Agreed …
Pulrite superlite 20k in the VW.bed.
Hey thanks!!!
so wait, Retniks actually originated in Europe? sounds bout rite . . . the fuggen Hun was a Retnik, Napolean, retnik!
12.04 This setup is similar to the ones seen in the UK during the Summer. Only the Travelling Fairground drivers are allowed to tow more than one trailer. Although that blue pick up truck looks decidedly iffy - unless the front wheels are locked - If not then it's definitely illegal. We don't have massive wide open spaces like the Yanks & Aussies, so our weights are somewhat restricted don't you know. Pip pip , toodle ooh, pardon my titfer and shine your shoes guv'nor? 🧐🎩 👞
I can’t find my photos of it anywhere! But maybe you can research the “Shamrockaway”! It should have been in a museum, but I think it got scrapped!😢
OMG www.autoevolution.com/news/meet-the-shamrockaway-motorhome-an-8-wheel-buick-unicorn-born-out-of-passion-195380.html#
I’ve ran diesels on ANYthing flammable for over 35 years & haven’t bought that now sulfurless crap since it was cheaper then gas, that’s the entire point of Diesel engines & why Mr Diesel created them
the one with the truck and she claims a 20,000 # camper in tow, well that 2 axle camper is not a 20,000# camper 12,000# at most with only 2 axles.
People that use big rigs to tow a 5th wheel trailer just have more money to waste than common sense. Looking at the Watts on Wheels set up they must have a hell of a time finding places to park that waste of money. They miss out on so much by not being able to enter a lot of parks.
4:50 What they're thinking is "How many people am I going to have to eliminate in order for me to survive". Because that's the most important thing to people who want this kind of stuff.
At 9.00 that car is a Suzuki samari
I think you are right. It just looked so small relative to the big rig.
