Gary, The seats have dual adjustable air lumbar/lower back chambers. You can get it set just the way you like. Yes the "Wide Ride" is a wider seat for the more "substantially-built gentlemen" . The ultra Leather makes for a very comfortable seat. I will get more pictures of the inside as...

Fastlap, We spent the entire year in 2002 looking at conversions. I took notes on every manufacturer that we looked at and test drove some of each. We traveled all over the country taking the time to visit with dealers and manufacturers and customers going over every aspect of the coaches. We...

I forgot to mention that the driver and passenger seats are brand new. They are the Bostrom "Wide Ride" Ultra Leather, High Back, dual arm rest, swivel air ride. And they are THE MOST COMFORTABLE SEATS that I have ever riden or driven in!!!!!! Wick

Geof, The opening from the cab to the sleeper is quite large and the cab air ride was removed. The stripping is part of Show Hauler's graphics package. They have 8 or 10 different ones to choose from, or you can paint the entire unit. I am not sure that I like the tanks the way they are. I...

Trying to see if I can post pictures...... http://truckconversion.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=742

Kaye, We get the inverter on each coach so the kids can watch tv and use the playstation and microwave when we are dry camping or going down the highway and not have to run the generator. We have had good luck in the 3 coaches that we have had. We are busy putting on the finishing touches to...

In my new Show Hauler the inverter is located in an underneath storage compartment. The compartment is vented and seems the keep the temp under control. We have the auto start function but I have yet to "play" with it. Too many things to look at or read up on. Wick

Thanks, We are not really full timers but are on the road for about 70 percent of the time. I rent, sell, service the machines used to throw the clay targets for sporting clay tournaments. We travel all over the country setting up shoots at ranges and farms for everything from social events to...

It worked when I took the truck out to Quadra to strech, but when we picked it up no A/C!!! Just needs to have a leak fixed and then recharged. Wick

We just got back from Middlebury with the new Show Hauler. I was very impressed by the way it drove and handled except for the 65 mph governed speed, I'll have to take care out that this weekend. The graphics really make a big difference. Biggest problem is having no cab a/c. More later when...

I am looking for the best refridgerator/freezer unit to put in the baggage compartment. We had a Norcold with the last Show Hauler and it did pretty good. Were can we buy them and which is the best?. Wick

We fly in to Show Hauler to pick up the new unit in the morning!!!!!!! I can't wait to see it... Still alot of little things let but it will be usable.

Check out this unit. "]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fun-Mover-35c-by-Four-Wi...QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Wick

The FRP has been used for many years in the trucking industry. A 48 or 53ft trailer made of the FRP and one made from the Aluminum sheet and post will weigh about the same. The FRP is said to be stronger and has the advantage of being smooth. However if the FRP ever gets water in between the...

Hey Spooner How did you get the Pictures included???????????????????????????????? Wick

Mordy, Take a look at Hyper-Tech.com. They make a unit that you can plug into your trucks computer port and upgrade things like HP or Torque as well as monitor temp. Wick

We looked at ordering Volvo's but we have 3 drivers that are 6ft 6 inches in height or more and the bed is right up against the drivers seat in the big bunked Volvo's and the freightliner's have more room to move the seat mount back. So that palyed a big part in our decision. Wick

Yes, Thanks Bill or all the good info. Some of it even helps if you are looking at a conversion. My Freightliner dealer is trying to convince me that that 2006 Columbia's that we are ordering should come with the Mercedes engine (450hp) and the Clutchless auto over the Detroit or Cat with the...

Steve, We have the 10sp Autoshift. With the load that I am pulling (27,000 lbs +) I felt more comfortable with the Eaton 10sp. If I were going with a new truck then I might get the full auto but I went with something I can work on if the need ever arises. I am not sure on the measurements...

I should have responded to this a long time ago. We use a material called Manis Bond on any of our trailer roof repairs. It comes in a gallon can similar to a paint can and we use a paint brush to apply it. You can put it on a seam or repair even if there is standing water. The stuff works...

Steve, We are adding a 30ft body to this one. The frame measurements are : 366 inches Cab to Tail and 187 inches cab to axle and 179 inches axle to tail. Hope that helps. Wick

Thanks for putting the pictures up Bill. We decided to have the coach body extend under the sleepr section in lieu of putting fairings on to cover the open area and the fuel tanks. When I get it back I have new wheels as well as more chrome to put on. I did not have time to get everything...

Bill, We ae going with the century Class Freightliner. We got the extra bo height to match the sleeper roof. We went with the vinyl ceiling and walls. Yes the Pete was Orange. And I did see your coach. Lonnie pointed it out to me at some point but I can't seem to remember where it was...

I got back from Show Hauler last night and I can only say that Lonnie and the staff treated me like i was the only customer that they had. They seem to go above and beyond the call. I really wish I had more than a few hours to spend looking around. I thought we had made all the changes to the...

I leave today to take my Century Class Freightliner to Show Hauler. I am really looking forward to seeing all the goings on at the factory. I'll will post some pictures of the before, during, and after as soon as I can. We are doing a 30ft double slide and keeping the sleeper. More details...
