    Ouch

    Don-not a problem. Take another look at the pic and notice that the bus had the older style budd wheel nuts, that use an inner and outer nut. This will keep the inner in place should the outer have this kind of failure. Most newer vehicles are "unimount" style-that means the hub carries the...

    Ouch

    "Typically" this failure was caused by running the other tire flat. Okay he says that the inner went down when the outer separated but most cracked rims I saw where from flats, loose nuts or overloaded. (I put 40 years in wrenching on and off road equipment) I realize that these are not...

    Ouch

    That broken center is really not all that uncommon. Want to know the cause-look at the inner tire/wheel-FLAT. Rim is overloaded from the weight that should have been distributed over the dual.

    Supposedly a racer coming out of RMR raceways (Utah) this weekend. Reported that a tire blew out but I don't see any rim or spindle left. Be interested in seeing what was on it for suspension and tires. After my conversion I upgraded my 315's to 365. This allowed me to run less pressure but at...

    With any luck, DOT won't take him to the scale.

    considering a truck conversion

    It will be worth your time to visit the major manufacturers for yourself and ask to see how they are manufactured and what can be improved for your application.

    Frame Welding

    Diesel-just plumb to your truck fuel tank and away you go. If you are planning on running 2 ac's and charging batteries, you will need more than you are planning on installing. NRC installed an Onan 12500 RV Quiet in my coach, works pretty sweet.

    Ken you looking for a generator? I got a Kubota/Stamford 11kw if you need one.

    Converting lower bunk to fold down bench seat

    Dan-keep in mind that all the seat belt mounting is National Safety or Dept of Trans approved on a factory built conversion. Went through this with Villa front seats for my Freightliner and it seems that they weren't approved for Canada?????

    does anyone drive a class 8 truck with out a cdl?

    It isn't needed to drive my conversion but I have a CDL. This allows me to drive air brake equipped trucks with a maximum of two trailers and a gross vehicle weight of 120000 lbs. (just a bit of overkill) Always thank the air brake course that was included in this license and the practical...

    newbie with questions toy hauler

    If I wanted to register my commercial vehicle as recreational it had to have 3 of 5 items. Full time bed, sink with supply and waste storage, fridge, stove, bathroom with holding tank. Just saying, it wouldn't qualify here. Got to agree with the requirement of a CDL, I think everyone driving...

    What are the best slides to use

    Hotrod-I have encountered a few situations (problems) but nothing that required me to take it somewhere to have it fixed. Like my neighbor says-"fix the small things yourself and save the major for the manufacturer." Love the idea of this type of motorhome although I haven't tried anything else.

    What are the best slides to use

    NRC in Middlebury IN built my coach. They can build to any stage you want, give them a call.

    What are the best slides to use

    These are Liftco units. I was told that even though they are not the most attractive units they will not give you any problems. I will take reliability over appearance anytime.

    Privacy Curtains?

    I guess either the dealer for OEM stuff or you could go to Walmart and buy track, hangers etc and make your own.

    Privacy Curtains?

    The ones on the track that attaches under the top of the windshield or the type you see on motorhomes that go on the outside?

    slide out

    I don't have any carpet in my conversion and in this balmy weather we are enjoying in Texas now, the floors are freezing cold. More so on the sides cause there is no floor insulation whatsoever there.

    If you put it in make sure you insulate the floor. Ask me why. Mr. Coldfoot

    Chariot

    Keepin it clean on the road

    So we have been on the road since Nov 1 and so far we have had Little Sisters, Blue Beacon and I washed it a couple of times in between. Little Sisters in Barstow Ca, was great, washed and dried the coach and jeep and looked great. Blue Beacon in Texas was super BAD. I don't know if the water...

    who makes the poney express

    You could give NRC, Chariot, Hawk Engineering or Showhauler a call and have them custom build you something.
