My friend made it himself. We are going to try to make one for mine this weekend. Wick

Funny when you are looking hard for something you just can't seem to find it.......After I stopped looking for my "square exhaust" a friend of mine about 12 miles away called me about the new exhaust he had just done on his Show Hauler. And there it is... What are your thoughts about how it...

Check the bushings in the spring hangers and any other suspension parts. Something is allowing the truck to "air" up different. If the bags are inflated they must have the same pressure in them. The low side would seem to be heavier. You have added ballast but I can't imagine that it would...

You could also do what I have done. I plumbed my existing Air Slide 5th wheel line into the air bag supply line with a check valve. When I want more height I just flip the switch and wait for the extra air to raise the bags. Now the ride height valve is still deflating the bags but the input...

My last frame strech was a little over $6000.00 First one was $4500.00. So some where in between. Wick

I am looking to convert my current exhaust tail pipe to a rectangular pipe that will leave me with more curb clearance. I thought that someone had done one on here before. Anybody know of a manufacturer? Thanks Wick

" Although it's impossible to truly replicate a Florida tropical rain, I've tried to and found that water can intrude through the air conditioner by a means OTHER THAN the gasket. Where it is getting in is a mystery except for the fact that it doesn't appear to be from the gasket. The only time...

Geof, I understand your position, but we do have a good generator and it had only 95 hours when if had a failure. That is why we have warranty. I just like the convenience to go either way. I am not sure what size of inverter that it would take to run a hot water heater, but I am sure it can...

Geof, You keep pushing the all electric coach and that is fine for some, but, This past week we were in the middle of nowhere and our generator quit. 3 days without electric was saved by the inverter and the gas/electric water heater. We never missed a beat. I used the truck engine to...

Michael, #1) This truck handles the wind and cross surrents very well. When we drove down across the bottom of Hurricane Katrina, I slept thru most of and did not even notice it.(except for the rain) 2) the ride is smooth enough that the items in the cuboards usually ride fine. The shelf's are...

Walter, I don't believe that you will have a rougher ride with a twin screw. You will be than happy to have the extra braking. I think that the downside to using a used truck is the mechanical break downs that will occur ever now and again. Most of the reconfigured cabs are 5 years old or...

Geof, Is that all it will do? I wanted to see how fast mine would go, so while on the road I pushed it up to about 1900 rpm that came out to 96mph so I got scared and slowed down. I'm figuring that I could get around 110 or 115 at 2200rpm. Not sure I would like to go that fast!!! Too many...

I registered mine in Montana. No problem at all. And no taxes!!! Wick

Well Warpath sure knows how to piss a guy off!!!! I just got back from a trip to San Antonio and even though I had the Show Hauler washed 3 times it is still splattered with all those black bugs!!!! I did not have time to get it washed before coming in so I tried to wash it myself today...

I have had an Onan and the Powertech with the Kubota and now the Powertech with the Cat. I really do not have a preference on which engine is in the Powertech but I did have a bit of trouble with the Onan. But all was under warranty and after replacing the entire generator it served me well...

In my new Show Hauler we needed to find a ay to cool and heat the sleeper area. I just finished installing a unit made by a company that Dometic just bought out. It seems to be working as advertised. Here is the Link: Tundra A/C Unit Wick

Bulvot, I am in VA and have a 2006 Show Hauler. I think you can have Kingsley build a "shell" for you for $150,000 depending on length/options. They quoted me that price back in March. They will do as much or as little toward finishing the coach as yoou want. It still seems far to pricey...

I would start by asking if they used genuine cat parts. If so then there should be no problems there. The rebuild was needed becouse they did not keep the water treatment up to date. All the wet sleeved engines will pit the liners in the same manner if the nitrate levels are not kept up...

Look at what you get if you google "Geof Kaye" truckhome.com/groupee/forums/ a/tpc/f/4151054581/m/2201024342 Was supposed to be a link. do not know how to make it a link. Wick

I left mine as a twin screw and Lonnie weighed it as he does with all of the ones they build. My steering axle is at 12,480 and that left the rear at 21,000. I assume that once i have it loaded with water, fuel, and all the other stuff we will be a couple thousand pounds heavier. I'll weigh...

Thanks Mike. The tanks are 120 gal. Just finished polishing them. Now they look like they are supposed too! Wick

Mike, When I pulled into the rest area in NC last year and asked the NC DOT officer doing an inspection an a truck, if I had to have a CDL or stop for scales, he told me no I did not. My Show Hauler was registered as a motorhome and did not fall under his guidelines. Right wrong or indefferent...

Tom, I have a 32ft tri axle trailer that I have pulled with my 32ft Show Hauler(43ft in length) with a total length of just over 80ft. I never had a problem and drove thru states from Iowa to Virginia to Kansas to Ohio to New Jersey to Florida and all points in between. I never got stopped nor...

Bill, How deep is your bedroom slide? I am really interested to see this "electric bed". Do you have info on it or pictures? As my water tank is not under the bed I have tons of space that I would like to be able to use. Great looking Truck!! Where did you get your chrome visor? Thanks Wick
