    Fuel MPG

    My new to me, 2006 renegade 2800bm got 8.46 mpg coming from Nashville Tennessee to mt airy, nc. Not too bad for the hills. I found the gear ratio sticker near the fuse box and it is geared 3.21. This coach does have the egr. It feels more powerful than my old 16foot toter with a non egr...

    Update on my GN toter overweight front axle.

    Good looking setup! What did your front axle weigh?

    Hydraulic leveling questions

    I just bought a renegade that has the auto leveling system and I'm not exactly sure how it works. I tried to use it for the first time last night and it seemed to take a long time to try and level. The motorhome was really out of level from side to side and may have been too far out. Also do you...

    My new 2006 renegade 2800bm

    Just got home with my new ride, a 2006 renegade 2800 motorhome. It's a one owner unit with only 27k miles! It basically had everything I was looking for, the large bunk, large slide out, grey leather, black tile and counter tops, side awning, large shower, and a lot of other stuff I didn't have...

    40k lb Bumper Hitch convert to Gooseneck

    That's a nice setup. Bushpilot, what do you use for a braking system on the jeep?

    Volvo chassis feedback

    Thanks for the info, I think the volvo has already sold. But I found a nice Columbia that I am buying. I watched a lot of videos on the volvo and they all seemed to be really quiet. Maybe my next one will be a volvo! Lol!

    40k lb Bumper Hitch convert to Gooseneck

    That's some good info, never thought of it that way. Here is a picture of the hitch on the renegade I am buying and I don't see where you would hook up safety chains?

    40k lb Bumper Hitch convert to Gooseneck

    I am going to buy a renegade 2800 conversion this week and I'm going to build me a bumper hitch to pull a gooseneck. Here is a picture of my friends renegade Coronado hitch. He pulls a 40 foot gooseneck with two trucks.

    Volvo chassis feedback

    I am looking at a 2007 renegade with the volvo 475hp and I shift trans. I had an 04 Columbia with the 450mercedes and I was wondering if anyone had driven both? I have heard the volvo cab is quieter and maybe nicer, but was looking for personal experiences any truck conversions owners have had.

    2006 Mercedes mbe4000 egr?

    Ok found some stuff out today about the egr. I looked at a 2004 renegade, truck build date 3/2004, renegade kibbe date 6/2004 and there is no egr on this unit. Looked at a very nice 2005 truck build date 5/2005 and it had the egr on the engine. What I also checked was the fuel mileage and it...

    Fuel MPG

    Bush pilot, I wonder if the size of the bunk area has a lot to do with your mileage? Haulmark conversions usually have a smaller over bunk than the renegades, and I'm sure the aerodynamics have something to do with mileage. My toter was also an extended height which makes it less aerodynamic.

    2006 Mercedes mbe4000 egr?

    You may be right on my old toter. The title said 2004, but I believe the renegade books said 03? How bad is it to have the egr? The 06 I'm looking at probably has it.

    2006 Mercedes mbe4000 egr?

    My toter was titled as an 04, factory built by renegade on a new freightliner Columbia chassis. But for some reason I think the truck body was an 03? But I can't remember for sure. I don't think it had the egr on it. I was wondering if there was a way to tell if the 06 I'm looking at buying has...

    2006 Mercedes mbe4000 egr?

    I just sold my toter last week and I am looking at a 2006. It has 88,000 miles and I was wondering about the egr. My last toter was an 04 and I don't think it had the egr. Both toters have the mbe4000. Anyone on here ever had any problems with egr? How can I tell for sure if the 06 has it? Also...

    Single rear axle vs. tandem axle towing

    It's not too close, he can only pull open trailer goosenecks of course, but he can turn as sharp as a bumper pull. The only danger i see is if he were to turn up a steep hill and catch the top of the trailer against the back of the toter. He said it pulls as good as his bumper pull.

    Single rear axle vs. tandem axle towing

    Here isa pic of my buddies setup, he has a 30 foot Coronado renegade and he pulls his 40 foot gooseneck on this hitch. I know the he is probably over length, but he said it pulls really good. He does have tandem rear axles.

    Single rear axle vs. tandem axle towing

    Not really possible to hook up and try it. If I go with the motorhome style I will have to fabricate a hitch to go from bumper pull to attach to a gooseneck. I may end up going to a 17 foot toter, single axle. Both 22 foot tandem axle toters that I was looking at sold this weekend. That's about...

    Single rear axle vs. tandem axle towing

    I don't really use the air gauge to weigh out the truck, I just use it to adjust the load on the hitch. I can move my truck around on the trailer, and it seems to ride and pull the best around 45-50 psi. Here is a picture, it's kinda hard to see but the truck on the trailer weighs 10,500.

    40k lb Bumper Hitch convert to Gooseneck

    My buddy in South Carolina built one for his motorhome, he has a 30 foot renegade on a Coronado chassis and pulls a 40 foot gooseneck hooked to the bumper hitch. It's over length but he said it pulls fine, I don't think he has had any issues with dot. He goes all over the east coast Vermont...

    Single rear axle vs. tandem axle towing

    I'm looking at a renegade motorhome and a renegade toterhome. The toter has 22 foot living quarters and is a tandem rear axle. The motorhome is a 28 foot conversion with a single rear axle. I will be towing around 22,000 lbs with either one. What I was wanting to know is how close is that to...

    Toter insurance vs motorhome insurance

    Just curious, but is george soros tied in with progressive? I thought I had read that somewhere? Not trying to get too political, but I am genuinely interested.

    Toter insurance vs motorhome insurance

    I am selling my renegade 16tlq toterhome and I am planning an upgrade to either a 22foot toter or something around a 30 foot motorhome conversion. I will probably go with renegade or possibly haulmark. I have national interstate insurance and was told they were the only ones who did toterhomes...
