I want to eventually build myself a toterhome on a Freightliner FL80 or similar. I want to have about 12 to 14 feet of living quarters and I will be towing my race car in a gooseneck trailer (about 10 to 12 thousand pounds total). I want to know what truck wheelbase you would recommend for this and if a FL80 is big enough or is too much. What would be the minimum horsepower that I should look for (I haven't bought anything yet). Any information would be welcome.

Thanks

Boomer
