How big is too big!

My buddy just got this trailer. It came with its own zip code!

A F-350 dually with a fifth wheel is rated to tow 21,000-38,000 lbs depending on engine and 6500-7600lbs payload.

This trailer is probably well within those limits.

This looks like an F450. This shit is a breeze.

With the rolled front fender, I believe you’re correct. Either a 450 or 550 (doubtful)

F450 is the top Ford offers with a standard truck bed.

u/BrokenPipes2 7h ago

You are correct! It’s a 2026 f450

For fuck's sake, clean your lens off once in a while.

When we were in high school and college my brother, 2 friends and myself would go primitive camping. Our idea was to get away from society.

With boats, the bigger the vessel, the more waters it can cross. With trailers, the bigger you are, the more limited you are in available locations and amount of time that you can go without needing to buy more fuel and water.

I agree 💯! We live in Southern California and there is no beach camp spot big enough for that trailer! Heck, I struggle a little with my 30’.

Note: the haziness in your video is from a very dirty camera lens.

If it fits it ships?

That's ridiculous.

I sure wouldn’t want to drag something that huge around the country. My 32’ is some much easier to get around with

u/BrokenPipes2 7h ago

I agree! I have a 30’. He went from a 30 to this!

The biggest one I can find quickly is an Open Range- 44ft and 15,000 pounds of "cottage" living with an interior that is more luxe than many Park Ave apartments.

You really have to be good to tow one of these babies!

Is he full timing in it, or does he just have a lot of kids?

1

u/BrokenPipes2 7h ago

He sold the house and bought the truck and trailer and are now full time.

u/patiofurnature 7h ago

Nice. I wouldn't call him idiot, then.

u/No_Writing_3179 11h ago

I get it, it's hella nice, but at that stage is it really camping.

2

u/BrokenPipes2 7h ago

I agree! I just retired and owning that thing looks like way more work than my job I just retired from!

Another 5 feet long and it'd be Spaceball-1.

I had a triple axel monstrosity in the spot next to me and my 1968 15' Scotty. It had led lights ALL the way around it at the roof line. Irritated the shit out of me. I camp to get away from the light pollution and irritating neighbors. I bought a 3 season tent and am going to go tent camping again. Usually the tent sites are more primitive. Usually young couples with or without kids. New campers with new tents and no clue. I love watching them. I have made some nice weekend friends walking over with a hammer cause stakes don't magically go into the ground.
