The first problem your going to have is the truck frame. The Winnie is based on a van cutaway chassis and is flat all the way back. The truck chassis is curved up over the axle (usually) That will cause a whole world of problems. The second issue is going to be axle location and tank placement...

Florida's law is similar. In that having a fifth wheel hitch of any kind means you are supporting the weight of another vehicle. That makes it a truck tractor. No 5th wheel makes it a "heavy truck" which is legal to convert.

Sorry for the confusion. I already have 2 50 gallon tanks. for grey and fresh. I'll put those in parallel and add a 100g tank for fresh water.

Well after much searching, I think Lippert abandoned the hitch. :( If you can't beatem, buy em and close em.

Thanks guys. I am going to putt my 2 existing tanks in parallel and I'll add a 100 gallon tank in the back of the truck fro fresh water. As usual you guys are awesome.

Now that I've already ordered my tanks, I'm having second thoughts about grey and fresh water sizes. I am going to have 42 gallon black and 50 gallon grey and fresh. I spec'd these sizes based on some of the big pusher diesels. But now I'm having second thoughts. I'm contemplating joining the...

Captains log stardate 06july2016 I finally got this thing drivable again and took it to my local welding shop for some stainless welding. The "bunk" is now connected to the stainless radius panels on the front of the box. The bunk area is now water tight. :) Now comes the fun parts. We ripped...

I've been looking at Progressive Dynamics. Guess I'll have to do a lot more googling before I buy one. :)

What model was that Sam? It seems like a good topic to flush out before I purchase mine.

any Idea what weight that's rated for?

And that's why this is the coolest rv forum ever. Thanks

That's exactly what I was looking for. I don't suppose you have any specs on metal thickness, and dimension, etc?

I'm searching for a reputable place to buy my trailer hitch. I would like a 30k unit, but all I can seem to find are pickup truck stuff. Do any of you fella have an ID plate on your hitches that might point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Steve

you guys are awesome! Thanks

Can I get a few of you guys to measure your generator compartment for me? I would also like to know what size and model gen set you are running so I can compare. Thanks in advance, Steve

With the trailer I'll be 75 ft long. I wouldn't want a longer truck. This thing has the turning radius of the Titanic. Rides great though with the long wheel base.

40ft nose to tail. 29 ft box with a 3 ft attic. 102 inches wide.

Holy cow Batman, This thing is long!

Once the paint dried (and 5 more inches of rain) We moved the box back forward and bolted it down for the last time ( I hope). Here is how she sits now. Awaiting the sleeper boot.

After dodging some serious rain storms. we primed and painted the rood of the cab, the back of the cab and the front of the box. Once I join the two together there would be no way to paint them.

Status report Mr Sulu After much work with no noticeable progress. I finally have some pictures. Now that the roof was on. I had to finish the bunk area above the cab. I slid the box back 4 ft. And installed a sheet of 16 gauge stainless to the bottom of the bunk area. Once we got that...

The SOP for a true Jacobs brake is 2 pedal switches. One on the clutch and one on the brake. if you just pull the shifter into neutral and let the jakes slow you to a stop. It SHOULD stall the engine. It should have disengaged when the clutch (whether you or the auto shift) was pressed. If you...

On my old unit, I pulled the upper trip rail off. and put the upper brackets under it. Then reinstalled it. it left about a 1/2 inch air gap and looked good.
