I few months ago I was researching some products for work and I came across a company's website that showed that they have a demo trailer which tours the country attending trade shows. I could also schedule it to stop by my office. So I clicked on the link and sure enough it was going to be in Florida in a few weeks. The best part of it was it had a picture of the trailer and it showed it being pulled by a utility body truck with an Alaskan on it. We don't see many Alaskans in Florida, in fact I've need seen out in person, so I jumped on it and scheduled it to stop by. Here is rig......
I met a traveling salesman in an Alaskan utility body Ford F-450

The picture on the website showed a Dodge but he said they wore it out and bought a Ford F-450 4x4. The utility body is steel and has has a gerarator in one of the outside compartments. He said there are actually two salesmen that take turns driving it for a month on the road at a time. They mostly stay in hotels but there are times he needs a place to kill a few hours and they'll pop it up and use it as an office. These are cell phone pics so not the best quality.

Thanks for sharing.
Shame they do not stay in the Alaskan, but if they use it more of an office I guess it makes sense.
