Your build will never be this badass

The owner came into the RV store I work at for parts for his water heater.
This is what happens when a Canadian fire truck has an orgy with a pair of 18 wheelers AND a tow truck. He also tows a boat.
18,000 miles he has put on it from Brirish Columbia to the tip of Florida round to South Texas.
Fire truck chasis with 2 sleepers and a fully functioning hydraulic flat bed.

That's creative. I'll give him that. Definitely have never seen anything like it. Would love to see the layout of the living quarters. Are the sleepers separate/ divided? Like a rolling apartment building.

The sleepers connect to the crew compartment of the original fire truck. I didn't see how the inside was set up. It looks like a sleeper from an old Peterbilt with a topper from a newer Pete attatched on top. The SUV fits snug underneath and up against the sleeper. I think there is a bunk house style bed with that skylight.
I sure wish I had been invited to look inside!

It warms my heart, seeing the proliferation of skoolies in Australia like this.
