Some parts of the country, it doesn't take much more than 100 miles to put an inch of road dirt on whatever you're towing this time of year. If I saw the same thing in June, then it's worthy of notice.

Hmmm...nothing a full width mudflap on the motorhome, and a cover on theUltra couldn't handle.
Oh wait, you would actually have to have some common sense and really care about the Ultra......another bet would be you spot that same rig vallet parked, in the Hyatt Hotels parking lot, when they stop for the night.

My wife and I full timed in a motorhome for 4 years. The full width mud flap only is marginally effective. As the speed of the motorhome picks up the wind pushes the flap further up allowing more road spray. The guy didn't have it covered because he was probably tired of replacing costly covers that weretorn upbecause of turbulant wind. He didn't have it in a trailer because then he would have had no way of hooking up his car to the hitch that any full timer is going to pull behind their motorhome. The fact it wasn't there when this was observed doesn't mean it wasn't at the brake or muffler shop at the time.
As previously said: give the guy a break.

I always wanted to try doing that with an old surplus school bus. Turn one end into a rolling garage, with ramp, or lift and the rest into a mini motor home.
I don't like tents that much since I went over 45 or so. I always seem to wake up with more aches and pains, not to mention bug bites, then I went to sleep with.
Used school busses are relativly cheap to get and use common heavy duty truck parts that are avalable almost anywhere you go in the country. Drop a heavy duty pickup truck engine and tranny. Or better yet a diesel from one like a Dodge Cummins,Ford Powerstroke, or GM Duramax and it would have more than enough power to get around and beeasier to get surviced if needed.

I to think there is a little envy going on here!. The bike is loaded/unloaded via hydralics. Road grim from up north is a B$tch and hell it is only a bike it can be cleaned!! He is on his way South for the rest of the winter. Will be riding Fl, FL panhandle, Miss, Lo. And Part of TX while his Home is by his favorite fishing spot at Lk Och. in central Fl. I WOULD not knock him he rides "Distance Miles" (Not to/from work or to the PUB) and buys a new bike every two years BECAUSE he CAN!!!! OH he uses the pressure washer in the back compartment (Next to the Generator) to wash both vehicles. What a Life!!!! I would love to be him now instead of in 8yr from now!!!
