You might try to give Jason a call at Big Foot. They do alot of the stretches. Wick

Roy, From my experience I found that if I bought a used truck and had a unit built on it was the best course of action for me. We customized every thing the way we wanted, not someone else's idea or floorplan. I made sure that I went over the truck with a fine tooth comb before sending it up...

It sure has been quite around here lately!!! Where is Geof when you need him!

When I bought the last group of trucks for my business, I got the Peterbilt dealer to go over the overheads and to put them all on the dyno. They did this in part because I wanted to make sure as used trucks that they were up to spec's. The other reason was to get the 1 yr 100,000 mile...

Hey Rich, Gary is right! I just got back from a 14 hour one way trip and I felt refreshed enough to go right on to work. The wife took over for the last 1/2 hour so I could catch the last of the race while I got dressed for work. With a smaller class of truck I would have been beat. Wick

Probably cost $140,000 for the conversion. Truck might have cost $ 80,000. Awning would have been about $2,500.00 Wick

Check is one out. Wonder why no awning? 2006 Show Hauler Wick

BravestDog, You can use the clutch on the class 8 but you still must match the rpm's. The class 8 transmission has syncronzers as well but they do things a bit differently. I have never been told why they do not make them to operate like the smaller transmissions. I would suppose that it has...

I am not sure but I think he is off on his weights. He states on ebay that the coach weighs in at 42,000lbs. That seems about 10,000lbs to heavy. Wick

Gil, See my post on the other thread. Also the cab can be cut off wherever you want it to be. Wick

Gil, We kept the sleeper on my last conversion. We put in 2 opposing sofas that would fold out to make a queen size bed. With an entertainment center in that section that is seperate from the other setup, we use that for my daughter's bedroom. She has a privacy curtain that she can pull...

How much to fix this one? Wrecked Alfa Wick

Gary, I was refering to the lak of a title. I agree that Man is a quality product. We had a knuckle mounted on a Man truck to pick-up logs back in the 80,s. Tough truck Wick

Check out his one. Me thinks many problems await the new owner Man Bus Wick

I saw an add in the RV Trader listing a new Chariot Conversion with a 25ft slide. I thought it would be neat to look at but I can't find a website for them. I would think a 25ft slide might be too long. But who knows.... Wick

Try going to the rv salvage/surplus yards. Here Rv Surplus & Salvagee is the website for one of them...: Wick

If I am not going to be using my conversion for about 4 months during the winter, should I bring my LCD TVs in from the cold and stand them up n the house? Will the cold bother them? Wick

I have used the "Cat's Eye" tire equalizers on my trailers and trucks for many years. They have more than paid for themselves. They are easy to us and quick to check. As for checking the tire pressure try to find a tire gauge at a truck stop that is designed to fit inside the wheel hole and...

Block heaters were a necesity back in the day. They were used to help in starting the engine on a cold day (below freezing) When I was coming up I could not start my old worn out 318 Detroit without the aid of a block heater and ether!! Todays engines are built different and they will preheat...

Correction on the motor should be a 350 Cummins? or a 350 Detroit? Kenworth did not make their own motors. Wick All in all looks like a nice job.

Walter, I would contact the manufacturer and see what they would do. How old is the conversion? Simple pulling the roof back up to level would not be fixing the problem but only treating the symptom. I would take the unit out and put a jack inside and push up so as not to drill holes thru the...

I can tell you from personal experience that the allison will take anywhere from $1800.00 to $4800.00 to repair. The Autoshift will cost less but they can be expensive, in the $1500.00 tp $3000.00 range. The manual Transmission can cost between $800.00 to $2800.00 to rebuild. All should go a...

medent, Having just come from the Eastern Shore of Maryland this weekend where they have seen upwards of 11 inches of rain, I was able to hook up to my trailer and pull out of the farm that hosted the event and had no problem. I have tandem wheels and rears. The pick-ups and the tandem axle...

Chuck, What type of wheel do you need? Uni-mount or the older style "Bud" wheel? Wick

We had a similar thing happen when we bought our first bus style motorhome. We were told over the phone that it had an ISC Cummins in the coach and when we drove down to Florida to pick it up we discovered that it had the ISB. Quite a difference in size and hp. The coach had stickers for the...
