Bragg's new bugout vehicle.....

Picked up the new custom coach yesterday and really impressed with the power. Had a hard time keeping it under 75 mph on the highway. I ordered a 400hp Cummins and added the Banks power module for the extra 75hp to pull a 28' cargo trailer for my Harley's and quads. All the bells and whistles except satellite TV as I have a couple spares. Finished loading her up today with beer and smoker. It's a 2009 Monaco Diplomat Signature series 41'er.


All that's left is to mount the 50cal to the roof. :D

Sweeeeeet! What about the 5th wheel? Tired of roughing it?:D

:D No, I'm gonna leave it up in Rocky Mountain House set up with the river boat. Wife is staying in it at the end of the month with the girls, and I'll take this with my son to Vancouver to do our dive trip.

Gee, Bragg...I'm sorry you and your son have to rough it...LOL!

It is awesome!!! That's what I call surviving with style! Whoo Hoo!

dang, man, that puts my camper to shame. I have a really nice one but dam! That one you got is wicked nice.

That looks like one of those quarter mill RVs that I've seen at the dealership last time i went to check em out.

Sweeeeeet!

You just help out the Canadian economy with that purchase,eh Bragg?

Built in Indiana nell, helping the old USA out. ;):D

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Now where is my little book on "How to conserve fuel"? :eek:

Ummm.I think you can forget about conserving fuel with that monster!

Braggs Yuppie Mobile:D just kidding, arent those like $500,000 to start! I am soooooooooo jealous. All I got is a pair of old worn moccasins and back pack:(

Now THAT is roughing it. Nice for sure and our economy appreciates you.

1. The people of Indiana appreciate you supporting our economy. We just LOVE the Canadians!!

2. Everything you have ever said about a bad, gloom and doom, economy just went down the toilet.:D

I'm seeing a necessary business expense. It will also help with the annual corporate meeting. Then, there is the Bragg charities such as, Bragg's humanitarian aide BBQ .

We know you have room for a computer. Keep us updated with pictures of your journey and dive trip!

If the rv is 41 foot long and your putting a 28 foot trailer on it that's 69 feet long and illegal to drive on any expressways, highways, and roadways in the US. The limit in length is 52 feet unless it is a comerical carrying vehicle such as a mobile home transport truck or other type vehicle that is escorted by a company or state police or highway personal with a placard stating wide or extra long load.

I have two cargo trailers. A 22' MT and a 14' custom. The 14' has a hydralic full length lift. I put the ATV's up top and the motorcycles on the bottom. I had it custom built 2 years ago and have pulled it through Montana and Idaho no problem (behind fifth wheel). My fifth wheel is 39'3" plus the truck plus the cargo trailer behind it and it put me at around 63'. Never had a problem at the border or through the two states. BC will not allow a tag behind a trailer or fifth wheel, so that why I went the long run through Montana to get to Wallace Idaho. Grey hound buses are 45' and they pull mail trailers behind and they are at least 22' tandems. I think in a Alberta we are allowed 68', not sure though.

I'll have to check into it more.

If the saying the "guy with the most toy's win's", I guess it's game over. Very nice rig, they have really been absent on the roads around here in Maine so far this spring.

I believe the saying is "He who DIES with the most toys wins." :eek: So I do belive that most of us are still in the running.:D

Either that or Bragg will just have die now and beat us.:D:eek:

i could afford to drive that thing about 10 miles per month...

i've lived in mobiles smaller than that.

looks darned nice. did it come with it's own crew?

Yeah... I was just going to say that you don't see too many of those kind of rigs on the road this summer. Fuel expense for one of those is a small fortune.. no correction, a BIG fortune. It is nice though. Don't come through Oregon or Washington with the trailer without checking on length limit and for sure not with the 5th wheel and a trailer behind that. Sorely illegal and they'll tell ya about it right on the roadside. :D

I filled it up yesterday for the maiden voyage tomorrow. It cost $842.00 for diesel and $258.00 for LPG. Seems like alot but I think it's not too bad considering. My truck hauling 17K lbs at 12 mpg verses motor home loaded at 37K lbs getting 10 mpg. Way better way to travel with the kids as they are getting older.

Spent the last couple days prepping for new concrete pad. Pouring this afternoon. I will add the post and beam open wall roof structure later this summer.

Nice rig, thats bigger then my apartment.

can i go with you?

He won't let you but you can go to the Introductions section and tells us something about yourself.
