Wow! 2 sliders and 2 sets of barn doors... Confusing at first, I thought I was looking at some M.C Escher artwork for a minute....

You're still confused. It only has one slider, both pics are looking at the left side.

No, I was confused too. I had to look at it twice, I think it's the taillights that throw you off.

Wow, the imagination runs wild with that picture. The thnings you could do with it. Hmm...
It does look like the trailer tongue is a ball mount. Must be something on the bumper to make it look that way.

If you put a hitch on the back of it, you could hook up another one of these. Then another. Astrain!

Re: Aint no Tramper, but still very cool.
Tabernak! That's amazing. You guys have any idea how much work musta gone into grafting the 2nd rear doors to the front of that thing? Incredible!
I have a feeling this isn't finished up inside like mine is, but that couldn't be too hard to track down parts for and finish. I also wonder if the brakes work? I'm running surge brakes myself...
For $2500, it's a steal, far as I'm concerned. I must have put over $6,000 into mine, including solar panels & paint.

Re: Aint no Tramper, but still very cool.
Hurts my head to look at it. I'm still confused but that's nothing new. ![Rolling eyes :rolleyes:](./images/smilies/icon_eyes.gif)
Lots of work on this jewel. Many many hours.
