    Nope, didn't work. Let's try to post a picture this way.

    Hey Bushpilot, and anybody else, table leg modification

    Hey Don Bushpilot, I did also do something to further stabilize the table. I put steel wire and turnbuckles on it to stop it from moving back and forth. Now it's real stable. And it's easy to loosen those turnbuckles and unhook the hooks when we need to drop the table to bed position. Now let's...

    Oh oh, I started some trouble on behalf of truck conversions

    Kind of interesting. John Boy joins our forum at the time of this thread being created/active. He defends the jerk moderator Johnny T. He makes 4 posts. Then we hear nothing else from him. Johnny T has passed away. I'm just wondering if John Boy is still around. Since there is obviously some...

    Hey John Boy, you still here? Just curious.

    Toter purchase advice

    That's awful. I'm really surprised nobody could figure it out. Crazy. Do you know any truck drivers that could ride with you and coach? My son really helped me when I was trying to learn to float them. If you don't know any maybe you could stop at a truck shop and see if any drivers are stuck...

    Toter purchase advice

    Wow, that's a pretty big undertaking to get rid of an autoshift trans, isn't it? My son is a former truck driver. He started driving trucks at 18 years old. He could row the gears with the best of them. He used to harass me for buying a truck with a "girly" transmission in it. I did try to drive...

    Replacement front tires

    The beads are still in there. I don't think they caused a problem. I think my shocks and spring bushings were worn out. I think the beads are still fine. I can hear them sloshing around in there when I spin the tire. I decided to add the Centramatics because I don't think they can hurt. I'm sure...

    Replacement front tires

    From what I read it seemed like Dynabeads were rated better than Equal. I don't remember how much it cost but it wasn't that much.

    Replacement front tires

    I had Dynabeads in my tires. After a few years I noticed loose front end. Shocks and spring bushings were worn out. Seemed like also the tires were out of balance even though they have Dynabeads in them. I replaced the bushings. I put on Centramatics. And I'm in the process of replacing the...

    Anyone take a CDL test with a gooseneck toter?

    I wouldn't do it. If it's a motorhome and your state doesn't require any special endorsements for motorhome operation then I would just leave it at that. Even if the cops might think you need something more, take that as an opportunity to educate them if you get stopped. If you were to get a CDL...

    Wheel weights

    I have Dyna Beads in my tires. In the last year I have noticed quite a bit of shake in the front suspension. I learned (from a shop inspecting my rig) that the spring bushings in my front end were all worn out. As well as the shocks were shot. After fixing the spring bushings I decided to add...

    Truck vs RV: newbie license title questions

    Parking might be easier too. My city doesn't allow trucks to be parked on the street for more than 30 minutes unless actively loading/unloading. But my RV I can park for 48 hours.

    Truck vs RV: newbie license title questions

    Another advantage of having RV plates, you can drive on parkways and aren't restricted by weight limits on certain other roads. Can operate off "truck route". Because once you are an RV, you are no longer a "Truck."

    Track Car Hauler with Token RV aspect.

    How tall is the car? Can you build the living quarters with a short (in height that is) bedroom above the car?

    Information please

    Cool you've got a Trendsetter. I've got a 2003 Trendsetter. I was able to visit United Specialties in '09, just before they went out of business.

    1995 fld120 conversion.

    You need to build a heavy steel bed. Most of the HDT haulers do that and don't complain of a bouncy ride. There's really nothing you can do about the air ride. Those automatically adjust the ride height so no way to let air off without screwing up the ride height. Do you have new shocks on it...

    LED Headlights

    Check with David Dixon from Deep Space Lighting. He is the headlight expert as far as I can tell. I don't see anything on his web site for the Coronado. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to help you. He is very accommodating. He goes by NukeE here I think? Great guy. He full times in a...

    Registering a 33k gvwr for Personal Use in Indiana?

    I wonder if you might be able to find some info over on the Escapees MDT forum? Sorry I don't have any knowledge of Indiana law. In Minnesota you would need a Class B license to drive it. A standard Class D license (in MN that is) only allows you to drive a vehicle up to 26k lbs. And only...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Ouch, Sika isn't cheap. Isn't there some new roof coating that lots of people are putting on their campers? Can't remember what they call it though.

    Thoughts and Observations on Driving a Luxury Class A DP

    Another big reason people often don't consider a Truck Conversion is because they've never heard of one. And most conventional rv dealers haven't heard of them either. And don't know anything about them.
