And the skid marks probably weren't just on the road.:laughing:
Sorry. I couldn't resist. :dance1:
I was still in smart, invincible and bulletproof age. The fear of own stupidity and mortality came years later.

Well I came across this picture we took on our way to Florida a few years ago. It was traveling about 65 MPH down the interstate. It consisted of a trailer with a truck containing two wave runners, wave runners trailer, boat, then a boat trailer on top of that. The bus was loaded down as well.

The problem in the photo is that camel is to heavy for that vehicle towing it. Its a two hump camel and the vehicle is only rated for a one hump camel.
i'm going to say that maybe that isn't the best balance for the trailer and probably the trailer is overloaded a little, but it's not too far gone. the truck must weight 5000-5500. the watercraft look to be slightly older ones, so probably both plus the trailer is in the 1500 range. i'm not a boat guy, but i see people haul stuff like this with cars often enough, so maybe 1000 for the boat & trailer? doesn't look like much more than 8k, and that trailer must be at least a 7k. the suspension on the trailer looks squatted pretty well, so it's probably at or past the limit, and there's probably more weight towards the back than i'd want. i think it looks a lot worse than it really is, but really, how can you fault anything called the "free bird party bus"

I would bet if they got stopped, the folks inside the Free Bird Party Bus would be more concerned with the weight of a certain herbal remedy being more or less than 28 grams that what the trailer is rated at. Just a guess.

That is funny. I just noticed they were better prepared than many with the orange cone amd mini spare tire. Actually they had a spare tow vehicle and were prepared for a high water crossing too.
