Good deal.

Nice looking battery tray! Is there a tray or something that goes on that slider to block off the inverter from the road? I mounted my inverters inside a cabinet in the bedroom because I wanted to be able to operate the buttons and see the panels without going outside. I also thought it would be...

Aw darn, I would have loved to check out your new truck too. Let me know if you get back to the cities. You know we have a Facebook group too, in case you're on there look us up. "Truck Conversion Motorhomes"

Hey Ed, long time no hear from you. You coming to MN for the dog show this weekend? Lake Elmo I think?

Have you gone to the HDT Rally in Hutchinson, Kansas? HDT Rally I've been to several. This is a must do event for anybody considering something bigger than a p/u truck to pull their 5th wheel. Even if you have to fly in and stay at a motel, it will be well worth it for you. So much knowledge in...

Thanks for all you do Janet H!

The best resource for people doing what you're talking about, that I have found, is over on the Escapees HDT forum: HDT - Escapees Discussion Forum I bet you could find the answers there.

Looks great. What do you race? I used to have a '86 Corvette coupe built for road course. Loved going fast and turning. My son built a '99 Vette for the One Lap of America . We got 5th overall in the 2012.

I've also got no engineering skills. Just wondering about that receiver hitch? Would some lateral members running from the frame rails down to that lower cross bar (where the receiver is mounted) make sense? Provide more support to that lower section? Just seems like that might strengthen that...

Gonna take the coach up to Duluth next week for Grandma's Marathon. Not running it. I'm way too fat and old for that. Good friend's are running it so we're bringing them to camp with us. We'll ride our bikes to various spots on the course and yell for them to run faster. We'll be camping at the...

Looks good! Thanks for joining and posting. I have almost no fabrication skills so I love seeing other people's work.

Probably depends on what system you've got. Mine says each jack is rated for 20k lbs. I have no problem lifting the front or back wheels off the ground with mine. I do have to build up with blocks of microlam LVL sometimes because they don't have a ton of travel, depending on the slope and such...

I use hunks of microlam LVL beam. I have used these for a long time and they hold up much better than normal plywood. If you make friends with some carpenters/framers when they're building garages and houses you'll be able to get cutoff pieces. Mine are about 12"x12". I keep a bunch in my...

I think there is a way to zero the system when you know for sure it's level. I seem to remember reading something about a "null" feature? What brand of system do you have? Might need to google it and see how to do that. Mine has auto level and I've done it long ago. But mine is an "Equalizer...

Wait, what about the engine? Whatcha got under that hood?

Looks great. Love that you have a real gas stove/oven. So many new ones are just putting a cook top and convection microwave in. My wife doesn't like baking in the convection microwave.

I'm curious why they couldn't just fix you on the road? Did the tire cause other damage that disabled the truck?

Spacecraft and Hawk Engineering will build as much or as little as you want, I'm pretty sure. They're both pretty well known for quality. I'm sure there's more that will do it too.

You could have a coach builder build your box the way you want it and then finish it off yourself. Might be quicker and actually less costly than trying to build the whole box too. Might check around, maybe Renegade, or one of the others, has a toter living quarters that they need to get rid of...

Ed S I believe has a Volvo chassis T/C, and I think he's on his second one. I don't know if he had a Freightliner before these. I'll try to message him to get him in here. He has been very quiet around here lately.

I'm heading out for a road trip this week. Planning to pull out of Minnesota Thursday afternoon. Going to be at the www.tirerack.com headquarters in South Bend, Indiana, on Friday. They are one of the sponsors of the One Lap of America . My son and I competed in that race in 2012. The race...

Great minds think alike. hahahahahaha

I use one of those and it works great. For me I backfill the black tank with hose water, and then you can open that blade valve and flush out the black tank. You could then just leave the hose water running to clean out your accordian hose.

Mark, one of the HDT guys has a toy hauler 5th wheel trailer and his wife has all her quilting stuff in the toy hauler portion. Seems like a good setup.
