Very glad this site popped up. The holes in my Class 8 knowledge are getting fileld up! (that's a good thing).

I have a couple of questions regarding the number of axles. My primary interest is an RV Hauler, not a full motor home conversion. Pulling a 20k#+ fiver/garage/worksite is the goal in the next few months.

A lot of folks seem to grab a Class 8 and rip out an axle, leaving it as a single. I'm curious of the reasons everyone has (need to confirm my own newbie theories).

My questions:
1) Why a single axle?
2) What does it take to convert?
3) What Class 8 machines should NOT be converted to single (too expensive, can't do it, not worth it, etc)?
