Doc,
Our plan changed during our trip to Ohio to pick up our International. After several days work on that truck, we got a call from the local dealer who found perhaps the ideal truck for us and we traded for it. We now have a 99 Freightliner with a 3126 Cat, 330 hp, 6 speed Allison, and a 24 ft Renegade custom box. The truck was formerly used as a mobile radiology unit and has full hot and cold water, bath and kitchen. To tie the truck into this thread, the generator is a 20,000 watt Kubota diesel which can do double duty by being large enough to power our entire house including pool and AC in the event of a power outage. On our trip back home to Florida from Ohio the truck
cruised effortlessly at 70 and averaged 13 mpg for the trip.
