There's a place between Middlebury and Shipshewana called Forks RV. They make the Venetian Suites 5th wheel.

We were on our way to The Blue Gate for dinner one night, a couple months back and I could not believe what I was seeing when I passed this place on route 20 and saw this huge 5er.

On the way back home, I stopped and snapped some pictures. I paced it off at 56 feet in length. Triple axles, 6 slide-outs. On each side of the 5th Airborne hitch, it had a connector that looked like an air-brake connector.

The front jacks were hand-crank style like on semi-tractors.

Anything like this or any RV over 400 square feet won't ever be shown at most RV shows as they ar typically RVIA sanctioned and the max RV square footage is 400.

Here's a link to my blog post on that rig: http://www.beletti.com/?p=259
