Well I am fresh back from the RVIA show where I got to checkout 3 conversion companies. First stop was Dynamax. The Grand Sport Ultra 45 is their biggest rig and the first thing I noticed was the addition of storage bay height. They even went so far as adding what they call a trunk in the...

I am running down to the RVIA Show this week and although it's primarily for traditional RV's there will be a few conversion companies present. I plan on stopping in to see Pony Xpress, Dynamax and I think Haulmark is displaying as well. Last year Pony Xpress had their Silver Crown Coach there...

Hey Keith! Welcome to the site. Awesome job on your conversion, love all of the photos. Keep us up to date on the interior. Bill

Whoops! Forgot to flip a switch. Now you can post away.

I always have one eye on what is going on with the conversion industry as well as any new developments I see coming out of the factories. It appears as if many of the manufacturers are trying to jazz up their interiors, but I have to be honest, many of these companies are in desperate need of a...

Well it would appear no one really wanted to use the other forum to discuss conversions. So looking at the stats for this site and forum for that matter, which is still getting pounded with visitors, I decided to fire this forum back up. Please note if your visitor, sign up for a username...

Lately I have had very little time to poke my head in here and see what kind of discussion is going on. Contrary to some peoples belief it is not because I do not currently own a conversion. I have spent close to 10 years researching, investigating and owning conversions and I still believe...

You can get the M2 with a 330/960 Mercedes. Which I mentioned would be O.K. for motorhome use on a rig right at or under 30,000 lbs.The VT365 maybe able to be bumped to 300 hp with 620 torque and that 2500 trannie keeps the torque down there. Another big horsepower/torque limiter is the size...

Actually, the GVWR is the same on my Vectra as it was on my last conversion. The big difference with the Vectra is the Independent Front Suspension along with Air Ride on the front axle. And to be honest the Vectra starts to ride real nice with full fuel, water, and the bays filled with crap...

I will be totally honest, I wouldn't even consider a conversion on anything less than a Columbia. The M2 is ok and would get ya by, but I will bet money that it won't take long before you are unhappy with it. 860 ft/lbs of torque is just not enough. On a cool day when the clutch fan doesn't...

Hey Boys! Long time no chat. To answer your question. Don't even think about a conversion weighing in at 28,000 lbs. or more and a automatic trannie with less than 330 hp & 900 ft/lbs of torque. And that is just going to get ya by. If your towing a trailer than you want to be in the 400 hp...

Racing4fun - I know your busting Dr Fun's chops for talking about his build and his builder, but you have to remember most of the people on this site who own conversions spent an insane amount of time first researching builders and than working with them during the build. If you have a custom...

There are more problems than just the title. That rig probably weights in at 40,000 plus and with 280 hp even with a manual will be a major dog even on the flats with a head wind. You'd think with 11.41 liters the hp would be higher. I see why it stops so good, you never get going to fast.

Sorry guys for the delay in getting back, but life is so insane right now. Anyway, I got a Winnebago Vectra 40' KD, optioned out. Turning radius is far Superior due to the fact that the front axles is actually behind the driver. It crazy to backup a conversion for all those years and than...

"Why did you sell your rig?" I don't tow a trailer anymore. "Getting a new one I hope...?!" Nope not anytime soon. Bought a pusher and love the thing. Super quiet with the motor out back, the quality is second to none, the ride is silky smooth, the 400 cummins climbs the mountains like a...

My 06 M2 from the drivers seat seemed to be pretty quiet and vibration free. But my wife said when you went in the bathroom the noise at speed was pretty loud since the tires and axle where just below. I am thinking your situation is pretty normal. I must mention that my sissy pusher on a FL...
