Re: Check out this camper

that thing's crazy! i'm not so sure i'd want it though. rather finally get me a skoolie.

i'll bet he set up the 2nd & 3rd steering axles with a hydraulic system. if you know what youre doing you can set them up to return to center just like a normal front axle. even better, i bet he used a system like what i've seen peoples custom 4x4's use.

Re: Check out this camper


The extra steerable axles would not have to be actively controlled. They could just tag along, just like the front axle of a car does when you tow it with a triangular tow bar. Such "passively steered" tag axles are used on some big semis.

But the van's concept is faulty. Imagine driving over a steep hilltop or big speed bump, or thru a sharp dip like some storm drains and driveway entrances. You'd suddenly be sitting on just two of the axles. Ooops!

Good for Halloween parades.
