I know we have seen something like this before....
I went to our local grocery store and found this in the parking lot...
The funny part is this is a Jayco. I wonder if this person is on the JOF?!?!?

Hummm, I think he is running a little nose low, might need to raise his hitch a little.
But, Hey, he has full access to his bed!

That's the LCI 1621 Extended ++ pin box. Comes fully equipped with underrated 2" coupler and chains.

Not at all. Looks like something's fixing to snap at the next bump. What's bad, is someone thinks it's a good idea, and, a welder agreed to do it. Just a matter of time before something gives. Pin box cross members due to stress from the long box, coupler contraption, or trucks hitch / receiver insert.

Looks a little safer than the suburban pulling the fifth wheel backwards

Wow. And, how much you wanna bet those guys are proud of their fifth wheel to trailer conversions?
Of course, no sway control or weight distribution gear.
And, what's the tongue weight on the second guy's rig? How can it NOT sway? Maybe he should hang a grill, a generator, and a small motorcycle on the front bumper of the truck just to balance things out.

The first one I could see if you were moving it around the yard. After that they are both unbelievably dangerous. The cops would be waiting for me at the first stop sign if I even tried something,like that.

Actually Tongue weight eliminates sway - the lack thereof is what causes sway.

The only positive I see is he definitely does not need a slider hitch.

I don't see any WDH and the hitch looks like it's bending downward. Hopefully he's just doing a temporary local relocation.
