    I remember being down around Baltimore at some TA with angled parking and one came in with a 40’ trailer. There was no way she could park that truck and that was just on a 45°. I can’t imagine getting into a tight dock or NYC streets.

    You get limited in overall length big gas well. If all you haul is a 40’ with toilet paper or insulation I’m sure it wore amazing but you’re not seeing these pulling with Super-B’s to pick up coils.

    I also thought ARI would build anything you wanted but if you deviated from their “stock” designs other than materials then the price went up
    Maybe they have a minimum
    But I was looking at getting a 110” minimum

    Last time I checked, (2 years ago?) - ARI starts at $50k for the 120”, before anything else gets added - generator etc.

    @Old Man and I can’t haul anything very heavy, and always have problems getting around, so we’re selling ours and buying ex-Prime lightweight Cascadias.

    Why don't they have slide outs available? Would solve many issues

    Because someone would rip it off parking next to you at the truckstop.

    Exactly this. Or imagine the guy taking up two spots with his 120” Sleeper and slides on both sides. The entire parking lot would be lit up with torches and everyone about to lynch the guy.
