I think the guy who put the hitch together must have been thinking bingo!

Add a WD hitch and balance the running gear and he's good to go!

Toastie, you live in Michigan, right? It looks like the tag on the TV is from Utah! Boggles the mind to think that combination actually made it that far. Paleeeezze tell me this a photoshop camper.

I showed this to a buddy and his response was the set up is clearly so the 5th wheel can hold up the back of the S10 Blazer until the guy gets it fixed . He's not a fan of the little trucks having owned one and had nothing but problems so I took his comment in stride - I think he didn't notice that it must be a 4.3L instead of the 2.8L so it would have lots of power to tow the trailer around the yard for lawn mowing, etc....

Ha, I see his safety problem.
He forgot to put the wooden nut on the shaft of his wooden prop!
Rookie mistake.

Wow... and to think all of those folks wasted all that money on Hensley Arrows... when obviously this was all they needed... Anybody wanna bet that there's a Jordan brake controller in that baby?

I've read all the claims that 5th wheelers tow better than conventional travel trailers, now I know why. Is the 4x4 block treated wood? I'd sure hope so. The length of the 4x4 must be the way he transfers weight to the front axle (on in this case doesn't at all).

Looks like a coon huntin' outfit to me! With the front end of that S10 so high he'll be able to see all the coons in the trees at night via headlights!
Incidentally, I've been wondering if my Geo Tracker would pull my 29 Ambassador,might give it a try after seeing this.

This has got to be one of the coolest lookin' meth labs I've seen in a while.
Looks to have significant storage space for all the Sudafed, and the holding tanks would surely be enough capacity for even the heaviest of white gas users.
For this person, I think the set-up is safe enough.

The kids are angry that he took their swingset chain! Also, look at the original tailgate cables... if you strum them you would summon dogs and bats!
I see he's using The Silly Goose, by Reese.
Now do I get to feel a little less stupid for trying to tow the 31' streamline with a Volvo?
