5th Wheel RV
« on: March 04, 2015, 09:18:23 AM »
I have no idea why these things are called 5th wheelers, but this one is unique. Looks OK for sand but probably not the Simpson, keep it on the beach.

You've been browsing that link to Collectors Weekly I found doing a quick net search for 'fridge collectors' with that $6000 fridge for sale post. Those sites could quickly turn normal rational folk into hoarders and fruitcakes but I can see how teaspoons and stamps might be more practical collecting than 5th wheelers and fridges but however the bug grabs you I guess.
There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.
