not really bob....everyone knows ive got opinions...and certainly as a
haulmark owner my thoughts are tainted at best.
i like our coach...weve put at least 25k miles on it in the last 24 months....and
we havent used it much this year (yet)....we're about to run up another 2500+ on it next week alone (houston to nola to blacksburg, to front royal).

HMMMMMM.....

in my experience that door tag means nothing, it doesnt match the
coach capacity and could be confusing at best.
why would he ever have to cross the scales (as a private coach owner) ?

ours rides firm...but not jaw rattling.
our 450hp mbe4000 (a rebranded dd13) seems fine, nice power and reasonable? mpg (consistent 9.9).
our zf/meritor smart shift (12speed) performs beautifully and still amazes me.
parts for the freightliners are plentiful (and inexpensive)...ive heard of issues w/ the i-shift (electrical connection / moisture issues)
sure theres better than haulmark...but how much is that "better" worth ?
would love to have a showhauler among others but they command a price.
