Spotted these on my way to work this morning. Had a quick chat, anyone else spot them?

There has been a couple of threads about these 2 before. They must have spent a lot of time in North America
 
Did they ever use those winches? I bet they didnt.
 
They were only missing half a dozen states by the stickers of each province and state in NA

Were their travels strictly in the confines of Canada or have they ventured into the U.S.?
 
I've been looking all evening for this bloody post! Spotted in Sarasota, Florida....right past the airport. I was sipping a tea while studying and watched the tan one zip by, two seconds later the red one went past as well with Dutch (I thought German) plates. It took me a while to compose myself and get back to reading.

edit* - I've already been yelled at by Charles for being too slow to get photos!

It is virtually impossible to "yell" at someone via the Internet ( well perhaps Wayne has figured out how to do it :D). I simply pointed out that even 3 year kids carry
CAMERA phones. :)
 
What are those yellow squares underneath the tyres?
 
.....and to think I would have just used scrap lumber to chock the tires. Perhaps these guys have more class. :D

Piece of wood or a small boulder...;)

I think they are to level the camper. Its annoying being in one of these if it is not level.
If they were chocks ,they would be in front or behind the wheel.
 
Please don't introduce logic to this thread. It makes the rest of us look bad. :D

I guess those guys don't sleep in their rigs much :hillbilly:. I often have to drive on top of 6" - 12" boulders to get level to sleep.
