    What I ended up with - anybody heard of Hansen Haulers?

    Ah, as to the exhaust: it appears to be both custom and very free-flow, capped with a Supertrapp fully tune-able end (the kind with the disks!). Between that, the gauges and other clues, yeppers...somebody REALLY cared about mileage. The one real flaw is the modest non-broke-through dimple to...

    What I ended up with - anybody heard of Hansen Haulers?

    Some of you may recall me from some time back. When I first came around here, I though I had quite a decent chunk of coin coming via a lawsuit but...California's Attorney General had other ideas and settled the case out from under myself and my co-plaintiff...

    Sanity check needed on a floorplan/blueprints...

    CM: yes, I'll be checking into all issues regarding cabs. I've really got half a mind to have the cab height custom lowered some ("slammed") before it even gets to Showhauler or whoever (they're my preference right now). Another possibility: completely rebuild something VERY old, as early as...

    Sanity check needed on a floorplan/blueprints...

    KAYERIVERCITY: once down the hatch you walk to the rear and lower the ramp/door. I *assume* that can be done from the inside!? If not...well that will have to be dealt with somehow... There's different door types available, at least ONE will be openable from the inside (big ramp/door, smaller...

    Sanity check needed on a floorplan/blueprints...

    Thanks guys! First, I wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to the bathroom part...it was more like "rough something out, let the pros figure that part out later and I'll approve the final design". Second, I know that for decent overhead bunk space I have to carefully pick a LOW tractor...

    Sanity check needed on a floorplan/blueprints...

    The only thing I'm really worried about is the "extended bunk over cab" concept. None of the major vendors are doing that, and I'm thinking there's gotta be a reason for that which I'm not aware of yet. Here's a typical Showhauler with a good view of an overhead bunk: So...basically, is...

    FET TAX

    It gets even wilder if you're in California or another Socialistic state. You buy a basic tractor rig here in-state for $15k and spend $20k on basic upgrades/rebuilds (suspension, tranny, engine if needed). You pay the yearly "road tax" only based on the initial purchase price of $15k - that's...
