Greetings all....new member here.

I have been looking at class 8 truck conversions and I have premuch settled on a new showhauler. I travel around the county for work and I spend 10 months a year on the road. I have used mostly fifth wheel campers for years but they just don't stand up to the use and abuse, nor do the trucks I've used to tow them. I need a rig that is dependable and tough as nails. I also intend to pull a stacker trailer as I need a vehical and I bring my motorcycle, and when my wife comes we can pull here car to so she can leave when she's ready.

My question is....Does anyone else have any experience with using these rigs to the extreme that I will, and if so what are your thoughts. Remember that I'm likely to be in -30 degree winters in North Dakota to 110 degree summers in west Texas and everything in between. Not to mention putting 30k to 50k miles on the rig a year. How does the living areas hold up? Any issues with slides, doors, air conditioners, frames, suspension, ect ect

Thanks for the input.....
