I found out what that 8 wheel RV was. It was built on a German made Man M1001 truck. They were used for mobile Pershing II Missile launchers.
Looks like it's working

Even if I had the money to buy one of those monstrosities I wouldn't. Too big and heavy. Plus they'd only go far enough off road to get stuck. Then what? A small pickup, Jeep, atv/utv or horse would be far more useable.the perfect BOV is the one you have when it all goes to hell,,for many it will be the family car or truck there will be those thrilled if they have a bicycle ,,,,,for me it's my trusty ATV and a Ford Ranger
all those fancy rigs pictured here are all on the wish list,,,like I wish I had the cash to buy that.........................
Same here. This is steep country around my place. My Jeep won't get very far off road. ATV or horses are the only real choice here.ATV's w/trailers and horses w/pack mules are my BOV, no 4x4 truck can go on the path I'll be using.
I was up in that area over the weekend, only across the state line, looking at property. My daughter lives on the Pend Oreille river. We lived for a long time on the north west side of Lake Pend Oreille. It'll be nice getting a place back up there again and being close to the kids and grandkids.Have you looked up around Stevens county or Pend Oreille county in Northeast Washington? These are my favorite counties in Washington, lot of prepper support plus it's a Redoubt area. You can almost make most of your journey from Southwest Washington off major roads and highways to these two counties
I figure gasoline would last about a year before going bad, so diesel is a good option too With it lasting longer, even though it’s not as plentiful when scavenging.
Fuel supplies will run out very quickly and most of the roads will be blocked just as quickly. Personally i will stick with the bike and a puncture repair kit.
