    Haulmark Coach. Cant locate Slide Controller

    For the longest time Haulmark was part of Wells Cargo trailer. We looked at them but ended up with NRC as they would build what we wanted. I don't know for sure but phone Jerry at NRCMods (Middlebury) and see if he can help you.

    Texas Newbee

    Can a Class 8 truck be registered as an rv in Texas. I know if you have certain amenities eg bathroom, sink, fridge etc it can be reclassified but a bare truck?

    Renegade/Showhauler style hitch setup.

    Sorry haven't checked in lately. VRT Enterprises near Middlebury makes the hitch and ball mounts you were looking for. Also do many of the frame modifications for the local truck conversion companies. Funny enough they are also into porti potties rentals lol.

    Tires: Example When to Replace (w/ Pics)

    Those are nasty for sure. Just replaced my 9 year old 66000 mile Michelin-no checks or cracks, interior looks good but not worth the chance. Installed 8 new Michelin XDN2's-looks good. Hopefully get as good as service with these as the previous ones.

    Kenworth T660

    If you are up near Grand Forks BC next spring, drop by and we can discuss. We went back to Elkhart 4 times before we pulled the triger on our TC. I say spring because we are leaving in a week for 5 months. Have a good winter.

    Tow bar breaks on interstate

    Sounds like we thought exactly the same. I too bought one of the refurbished Nascar bars,why not?? Anyway glad to hear Blue Ox treated you fairly. I was in Tampa this year and talked to Blue ox about a loose swivel on mine. They fast tracked me the next day an replaced the head at no charge...

    Tow bar breaks on interstate

    Yeah well I am not giving BlueOx money for a replacement every 5 years. Will have to look alternate tow bars or maybe time to get a stacker and take all the toys.

    Tow bar breaks on interstate

    Wow, glad to hear everything is okay. I got exactly the same tow bar, so keep us informed on what you find. Any chance the tow bar was damaged by backing up the toad? Maybe I should start towing the toad on a trailer at least that I can back up.

    AC transfer switch

    NRC uses TRC transfer switches. The 41260 failed after 4 years and after talking to the factory reps I installed a TRC40350RVC. This one has better surge protection and less problems than the 41260. As with everything else though, with enhanced quality come higher cost.

    generator radiator protection?

    I just built a screen for mine the other week. I figure since I have screens on the engine radiator (for the small gravel) why not on the gen too. Built a frame and installed a piece of 3/4 square and 1/2 inch screen between the two frames and screwed it to the underside framework. Sorry no...

    All electric or gas/electric

    I didnt go the all electric route because I don,t feel comfortable with hydronic heating(Aquahot,Oasis)service in the areas we travel. So we installed gas hot water, range, furnace and of course run the bbq off the big tank. We have 8 6 volt batteries (Trojan T105) which provide plenty of...

    looking for a diesel gen set

    Got an 11KW Kubota diesel, skid mounted with a Stamford gen head. Used it when I had my service truck and when I did my conversion, I wouldn't have received as much credit as I assumed so I had them install a new Onan in its place. Interested?

    Alaska...again!

    Keep us in the loop. I am planning Alaska for next year and will either flat tow or trailer our Jeep. I think I may lean toward trailering my toad in the future, being that I can back up and have better paint protection with a trailer than flat towing.

    toad brakes?!

    I installed the Roadmaster Brakemaster for both the Wrangler and 2010 Silverado. Why complicate the system, I got air brakes on truck so why not have an air actuator for the toad brakes. No electrical charge line, just basic wiring and simple in and out for the cylinder.

    Staying near Chicago

    We are going to be in Chicago mid August and I notice accommodation (rv parks) are fairly scarce unless you want to stay an hour out of town.. Anybody got a secret location, only need it for 1 or 2 days. Thanks

    Cab to Box clearance

    Usually the air ride is not used when a conversion is done. Quadra disconnected mine while it was there getting stretched and levelers. I don't notice a rough ride since the conversion, probably due the long wheelbase.

    Roof and wall problems

    Yes there has been problems in the past, are they corrected to date-why not phone the manufacturer and discuss. NRC answer to the possibility is to rivet the panels plus tape them. Of course there is no problem with Chariot or Renegade because they use a one piece wall-hmmmm
