What a rig.
How much that thing cost, not counting the suspensions/engines/bike parts?

I remember Featherlite built one for Suzuki a few years ago. I read it was worth 3.5 million full of parts. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe this number. My 48’ gooseneck tri axel enclosed, was $65,000 from fetherlite. They are proud of there stuff, this was double the cost of haulmark or pace.

Without paint and the awning/canopy area, that trailer was around $680,000.

I don't believe so. We'll have to wait and see who's at the helm for the outdoors and beyond.

10 year usage and sell it on, that seems good value .

I wonder how long before the US catch on to the Ice One Husky type of set up . Saves huge dollars in man hours and hotel costs.

He's not.
He sent out and email saying it was a sad goodbye and thanks for the great 18 years.
Sent me a little gift as well that I will cherish even more now.
I'm sure he'll pop up somewhere quickly and I even possibly have an idea of where.
We'll see in a few weeks I guess.

So they get a new trailer, and the rumor is next season Star is running their factory teams. Guess they will sell it to them
