i am considering starting another conversion. i have a freightliner fl106 w/ 50 series detroit, 9 speed, 72" bentz sleeper, 22' box and air ride. ideally, i would remove the sleeper. move the box forward. put the pass thru into the front of the box. this would give me 6' behind the box to put on a fifth wheel and gooseneck hitch. i am just not sure if i want to put all that work into a 2001 truck.
however, it would be so much stronger, easier to work on, and less maintenance than the diesel pushers i can afford. in preparation, i bought a damaged 2011 5th wheel camper with 3 slides to use a donor. it has all the pieces to make a really nice motorhome. remote control slides, remote awning, automatic hydraulic leveling system, fireplace, dual zone hvac, washer/ dryer, and so on.
there is just only so much time in a day.....and i am only 1 man.
