I am sure you are wondering what I am doing with this new addition. Well during a recent discussion I found myself replying with a canned answer I have produced with some old information. So I am going to invite representatives of those companies to come on the site and provide information...

See this is why I am changing my tune. The information I am relying on is out of date and it sounds like Kingsley has stepped up to the plate and is building some quality rigs with alot of steel. Your right thought on the older rigs, you look at the used units on the site and some of those...

Actaully, I have been thinking about this and I have decided to change my stance on this whole subject. Until I see that people are having issues with their coaches due to the different build techniques, all is good in my book. So much is changing in the industry so quickly that I really can't...

That is the under the chassis exhaust.

Check out the increased radiator size

Here is a picture of the new 05 M2 with increase hood size to accommodate the bigger radiator. This is is 1 of 3 identical M2's that came up from the factory with mine ordered by Becks. Mine left a few hours prior to this down to Show Hauler. I like the change it give the truck a little...

I thought a few of you would enjoy this one. The truck has over a million miles on it. Check out the exhaust system. He can flip from the stacks to the under chassis exhaust when he doesn't want to clean the sides of the rv.

Actually just turned 39. I hear ya but not listening. I try to stay all "I don't care that my brand new truck that I waited for over 3 months is breaking down and thats o.k." but it just ain't working. Anyway it just pulled into Show Haulers place about a hour ago. So I am hoping Jason from...

Nice looking rig! The only thing that bugs me is that the sleeper is higher than the rest of the MH. They should have gone with a higher box and thrown the ac in the frame rails. 13 speed, sounds fun. Looks like a sleeper company built it with all the padded walls. If everything checked out...

Update: We are moving forward again! Just got off the phone with the service manager form the FL dealer and it was found that the back head bolt was not tightened, just sitting in there. The delay was getting the gaskets and mainly 2 gaskets for the EGR system. Those are due in tomorrow...

Update: There is none. So far no one can tell me when it maybe ready. I am in contact with the FL Dealer who has been great, but has not been able to give me the info I want to hear. "It's done" This sucks so bad I can't stand it! Ya wait 3 months for the damn thing to get built and then...

Mike, Geof hit it on the head, people that have had traditional motorhomes before are tired of the junk and are moving to a stronger product. And that is the whole reason I started this website, the problem is that strength is getting tossed to the side by alot of companies in place of a dirt...

I am assuming your talking about photos on the gallery. What ever is in there is just what I found on the net, dont have any further info on them. Bill

Here are a few http://www.racingjunk.com/exec/ca/view/226988/92-Kodiak-Toterhome.html http://www.racingjunk.com/exec/ca/view/338463/2000-FL60-Toterhome.html http://www.racingjunk.com/exec/ca/view/385667/1984-international-toterhome.html...

Actually, not a bad price for a Kingsley, although I am not a big fan of standard MH construction on a truck chassis. I am sure the 9 speed tranny is knocking the price down. I see that Powerhouse Coach does a similar lift system. Would be great if you need to backup a bit, but aren't there a...

Where are we checking this out at?

Today's Update Blown Head Gasket! Well D&K fixed a few things that needed repair and on the way over to Becks discovered another issue. Brought it back to the shop and found the motor had a blown head gasket. So we probably are looking at a weeks set back. I guess it's better it was found...

Todays Update - I just got off the phone with Nathan at Beck's and the truck has not made it to his place yet. I guess there where a few issues with it and D&K is still correcting them. While I was on the phone he got in touch with Ed and it looks like it should make it over to Becks...

Well the truck finally made it from the Freightliner factory to Freightliner dealer (D&K FL in Lansing, Mi) late on Thursday. I just wanted to say here if your looking to purchase a truck for a RV toter and plan to go through a truck dealer, I suggest you contact Ed Merrill (email...

Well the truck was completed and handed over to the transport company on 2/7. It usually takes 1 week to get to the FL Dealer which in this case is D&K Frieghtliner in Lansing, Mi. They should have it tomorrow and will give it the once over and turn if over to Becks Custom Coach. So I am...

azrandy - A few more things to think about. Do not settle for a 10 speed, been there done that and have the poor resale to show for it on my last one. No one wants a manual tranny anymore. Unless your thinking about a condo with walk through which you are better off buying used. Go with a...

Matt - Since we are in the motorhome forum I am assuming your looking at a motorhome conversion pulling a 20,000 lb trailer. I would think you would be disappointed with the performance of say a M2-106 with a 300 hp / 860 torque setup 28' motorhome weighting in at say 27,000 lbs and that...

A couple of weeks ago the Travel Channel did a show on extreme motorhomes and they featured this rig. He says he gets alot of questions on what kind of race car or bikes are in the trailer, but like Bill said he is a horse guy. You would also think a horse guy would be more into wood and...
