Unusual cruiser
OK, today's challenge is to identify this craft:
Well...
We'll give you
just a minute
to think about it...
Here's a clue:
Turn it over!
It's a Titanium fiver. One of these things parked next to us at Bridge Bay in Yellowstone National Park. I had to look at it twice to figure out what was different about it. This Canadian built unit extends clear over the cab of the tow vehicle. You would expect this to generate a lot of wind resistance, so they designed a prow that's almost like the front of a boat to streamline it. And to move more living space into this extended forward area, they raised the roof. Even their smaller units are over 12' high. I think it's quite striking & I like to see creative new ideas in the fifth wheel world.

I drive 35 feet TITANIUM and it is a charm. The wind resistace is minimal and I get 12 mpg wiyh a Silverado 2500HD Diesel 2004.

My husband and I have a 39 foot Titanium and we really like it. Haven't had it on the open road yet, but just the little amount we have traveled it is great. We pull it with a 2005 GMC 1 ton Crew Cab dually.
