Anybody have any experience with Powerhouse Motorhomes out of Bismark, ND? From the pictures they seem to be in the right kind of category for us. Not very fancy on the inside but look like a decent conversion for the money. They have a one year old conversion on a '95 FLD120 with a Cat 3176 and a 10spd for $70K. Is this a decent price? He will warranty the conversion for a year and the tractor for a month. He wasn't real sure on the mileage on the tractor.

He said the local Freightliner dealer did a complete service on the unit before he converted it. Can a dealer do some basic tests on the tractor to give me an idea of how close the drivetrain is to needing an overhaul? What does an engine overhaul on one of these thing cost?

Thanks again for the help.
