Watched a show the other night where they clear wreck sites. Semi and flatbed ran off highway and over bridge rail into a river. Three TTs on board. Needless to say everything destroyed by time they got it all back on road to haul off. In the 70s I drove a AAA tow truck, glad I didn't get that call :)

I've seen trailers of RVs going north on the interstate in Wisconsin. Different makes and models, but never R-Pods. Maybe just don't remember.

When we picked up our 177 back in March of 2011 our spare tire and mount (packaged in cardboard - mount only) were found inside on the floor.  The dealer took them out and mounted it for us before our walkthrough.

Would you figure that's about a 13K load including the transport trailer? Wonder if the spare tires & their rear mounts are shipped separately, or they are carefully tucked into the trailer interiors.....Ouch

Last Thursday on way up to Couch to get our new pod we saw 2 flat beds going south each with 3 pods and both did that increase the anticipation. Sadly will be winterizing this weekend and putting into storage for spring. Hope it's a short winter :)

I would imagine the "big ones" are delivered one at a time.
Say a car-carrier full of Corvettes the other day though :)



It of course party depends on where you live.. we see loads of 'vettes almost every day.. but then we live an hour from the factory and travel I-65..

Furpod. Thanks for posting the picture. Smaller tow rig than I had pictured in my mind. I still find it strange that I have never seen a rig transporting campers of any kind ever. Cars,Boats,golf carts and trailers but never campers.
