It's got that slide out rear, and the extra axle for what? Very strange looking....almost European, but the photo was taken in Kentucky, and has the Ford chassis?

Probably the rear slide is too much weight for stock chassis, Jim Nimshew4 • View posts Woodland CA 95695 U.S.A.

There were a number of C's and A gassers that got aftermarket tag axles in the mid to late '80s when RVs were growing faster than chassis were being up-rated. More than one C manufacturer was using rear slideouts, before slideouts on the side became generally used. Winnebago had at least one rear-slide C, in a length that would be considered short today, but was pushing the chassis limits at the time. But the one in your picture is not the Winnebago.

The 3rd axle looks to be an aftermarket tag, presumably because the weight of the slide/porch is too much for the rear of the bus.
