AtkiPete has fired over these and a chirpy "G'day Brian, we have some beaut looking trailers getting around these days, have a look at the 'bush' curtains on these two Visyboard outfits. And there's an Argosy for you too. Isuzu do make prime movers, just you ask Nikki King when they are getting to the UK...cheers, Pete."
Now click through here for a couple more RFWs too from Vic.
Vic says: "Here's a couple more RFW photos for you. The truck and trailer chassis is actually a 14x14; the trailer has a separate engine and transmission synchronised with the one in the truck; unfortunately I can't tell you much more about this one. Maybe Cam or Pete can help?"
And here's an RFW Roadrailer too.
Apparently the monster RFW is used for clearing sewer blockages in Queensland ( well that is what Google told me).
They must have big sewers and big blockages up there in Queensland. Maybe Cam can tell us more.
Maybe Cam causes the blockages, have you ever heard of Aussie B...S...?
I suspect it is poor diet and crook beer up there in Qld. Canberra ( our national capital) must have a fleet of those big RFWs.
The Brisbane city council used to own the heap of shit,though I havn`t seen it around for a long time,they also have got a low cab KW 10 X 6 which they`ve had for years,it was the first Tri Drive most of us saw and they`ve still got it,I don`t have any pics of it though.
Not a RFW fan I gather, Cam?
A double-dipper of a comment for Atki-Pete and Cam at the same time!

Pete,
You deserve a pie from Brian for that - yes it was used for the cleaning of drains in Brisbane!
Cam,
According to my sources (the name(s) of which I cannot remember), it was a prototype tri-drive Kenworth had engineered as a test truck when they thought of bringing out tri-drives!
