what are they

[Wolfie]

this has been asked on another forum that i use and has got everybody stumped, anyway here is the question.


Driving to London on the M4 the other day I went past a car transporter lorry/drag and couldn't believe what I saw on it. I actually slowed up so's he came alongside me in order to get another look.

It was carrying three double headed Transits!

There was a normal Transit front end, or cab, a short (bare) chassis....... and another front end facing the other way!! The cabs were complete with a rear bulkhead like that on a pickup. They had four wheels but in the sense that it had two sets of front wheels.

First off I thought they were chassis cabs with the bare chassis overlapping at the back, but NO! They were defo double cabbed vehicles!!



anybody got a clue?????

[Luke]

There for campervans mate!! FWD chassis cabs, they have the back cut off anyway to have an alko chassis fitted!!!

[Wolfie]

na he says that there was two cabs on the one chassis, one at either end.




just reread what you are saying, are you saying that they were in fact only half a chassis with just the front wheels on them and the cab etc ie just the front then the camper maker grafts his own chassis on??

[Luke]

Thats the one- theyve done it with the seville vans for years but theyve only just been able to do it with the transit - due to the introduction of FWD.
