Welcome Aboard. I think you will be hard pressed to pull a 40 ft trailer with a toter that has any size living quarters. My W900 Kenworth with 12 ft living qtrs is 285 inch wheelbase and 29 ft overall. My trailer is a enclosed 34 ft gooseneck. Total length is 64 ft 8 inches. A cabover would help some but that creates a whole different set of problems. Most states length laws are 65 ft for RV combinations although many on the road today are longer than that. I would shop around some before I started from scratch. Most can be bought for far less than what it takes to build one. Another one you might want to look at on Racing Junk.com is a 1985 Peterbilt. The living Qtrs is unfinished and you could complete it like you want. Not a bad price @ $22,500 if it is as nice as the pictures appear. Again wecome to the forum. MMM
