He's done dually's before, and the dyno is built into the shop floor. Come on up to central PA! :D Worst case we pull the outers off. (Not to hi-jack the thread anymore, but yes, it did run just fine while sitting on the bumper, on its side, and on its roof. but yeah, the oil pressure gauge...

I ran my rock buggy's old SBC off 'pane for a few years, using the standard Vff30 / Model E / Impco 425 on a q-jet baseplate & forklift tanks, and then re-curved the distributor advance to take advantage of pane's burn characteristics and get some power back. (Didn't bother upping the...

Hot rod - I'm sure you realize that the 8.1's in MDT's aren't running the same HP & TQ as the engine in your dually.. not to mention the propane engines typically are tuned for less power than that (less BTU's/gallon, etc.) What's the engine in the 6500 rated at? (I have an 8.1 in my...

Welcome! There was talk on another forum about using a HDT for launching boats, and the general consensus from experience was that HDT's don't work so well for that... not enough weight over the driven wheels. Though once you have it RV-converted, that should help. One guy who had success...

Just judging from size alone, I think the reserve capacity is lower than many of the flooded batteries found in coaches and trucks?

I assume you're talking about the coach batteries? yellow tops aren't really a true deep cycle battery, and do NOT like being run down dead. In offroading, we have lots of experience with yellow & red tops, and an insider who did some work at the factory some years back found out the only...

Mine did too when she first moved in with me.. Now that she's cooking a lot more, she's gone to hating gas! Says she gets more precise control over the heat when simmering and the like... I kinda like the all-electric idea, and it also gives you another large storage compartment with no tank...

I believe that Hawk Engineering made a garage coach for someone hauling a car as well. Home Page I'm in a similar boat as well because of what I'm hauling (car or my rock crawler which is 15' long), but since my budget will dictate a used coach, I'm likely to end up pulling a trailer.

Welcome! (From one n00b to another) So as a window shopper.. what made you choose the Chariot over one of the other companies doing conversions? (Not that I think it's a bad thing, the Chariots look VERY nice from the photos I've seen!)

Ed - You might be able to tell me.. While going down the road.. How is the noise in the back near the drive axles, compared to a DP class A? I haven't gotten a chance to drive a nice DP yet to compare (Something like an American Eagle), but I'd imagine they all run similar axles, so that gear...

Well, kinda. You might recognize my name from the other HDT sites, but I mostly lurk as we're not currently owners. I started looking at RV's as part of my off-road hobby, and a few of my buddies started camping in Class A's. Well, the wife is in agreement about a RV, but HATES the "Fred &...

GREAT new software / look.. It's much appreciated!

Sorry for the hijack.. but how is the smell with the Incinolet?

I bought our EZPASS at a AAA store, perhaps that's the case in your area with the IPASS?

You need a tetanus shot after a junk yard trip, and a different kind of shot after the sex house..

I see your post there... un-deleted?

Got any more specs, and photos of the cab area? Also, what's the long ladder-looking thing in the first photo? Oh, and where are you located?

We're not ready to buy, but it was at the local dealer as a demo, so I figured why not.. It was basically this one: http://www.haulmarkmotorcoach....tor-home/model24cmh/ 1- Wifey said it was kinda noisy in the bedroom going down the road - I'm guessing it was tire noise/axle noise? Is that...

Interesting, that one was up there a few months back as well.. 1- Is nearly 8,000 hours on the generator worrisome? 2- How much in repairs for the doors are you looking at? 3- I'm familiar with the noise nevel of the Onan QuietDiesel's, not sure about that one? 4- I wonder how big the inverter...

You're not kidding... I think / hope things will still be crummy a year from now (selfish, ain't I?), when we'll be in a much better position to snag one up. As is, the coach was originally a 2014-ish purchase, but now is certainly the time to buy, so we've shuffled things around.. Thanks...

Radman, that's great to hear - I really like damn near everything in the coach Hawk has for sale right now, though I'm sure it'll sell before we're ready to buy. Being a newbie to Class8 conversions, I was worried that I was "missing something" when I was looking at hawk's work and was...

Wouldn't the title now be issued as a 2008 _____ motorhome?
