That lot owner is pretty smart to cater to the motorhome crowd. At 50' deep and 15' wide even someone with 45' coach or T/C motorhome has lots of room for storage. Can you share what you're paying?

Trailer Brakes You make a good point about big trailers and electric brakes. I pull a 24' enclosed with the 1999 Suburban. I think loaded I'm probably 10k to 11k; should weigh it sometime! I've heard that the new trucks (1 ton and less) have a trailer brake controller that is hooked to the...

Very nice. Thanks for the update.

What is the nomenclature? What is the differnce between a C7 and a C15? 7 liters vs 15 liters? Thanks! Dick

Good point on the length. The specs I've seen on Peterbilt 379/359/389 is 132" (11') bumper to back of cab (BBC). Another thing to put on the list. Thanks!

1984 Peterbilt Custom Motorhome For Sale It looks like someone took a travel trailer and put it on the back of a Peterbilt. While the paint job looks nice, I might have trouble pulling into the race track with the the corrogated travel trailer siding and roof showing. Here are my thoughts...

Thanks for the feedback. What about the engine/trans combo? Is that a good, reliable, longlife engine? or does it have some expensive, deep dark secrets waiting for me to buy it and get out in the middle of no where to pop up? Dick

Is the Cummins L10 (w/1,200lb-ft tq. @ 1,300 rpm, 400hp and a 9 speed Transmission with 540k miles) sound like good engine/trans/truck combo? Its in Peterbilt Model 3x9. 2002 K&C Conversion - Fully Upgraded 2011 For Sale I look forward to your expert opinions! Dick

I presume that is a roll-up door next to the steps. If so, what is white or grey thing at the bottom of the door, looking like it sticks perpendicular to the door? Looks like two electrical outlets are on it. All your stuff looks great!

Looks like a nice rig; practically brand new. Won't something like that run up to a million miles? Price is pretty high for this early in the auction. So I'm going to guess $90K. How "accurate" is that NADA price?

What is the objection to the Top Kick? Horsepower? Or size, mass, and stability of the truck. A good friend has a Top Kick toterhome that he pulls a 5th wheel 32 foot or so stacker trailer, huge pit box, 4wheeler, extra V-8 racing engine, and lots and lots of stuff. Based in Wisconsin, he...

New grill The new grill is so shiny that the trees in the background reflection made me think that you still has the old dinged up grill in there! Nice job! Was is expensive?

Great Story I found this very, very helpful. Especially the thought process and the reasoning that went into the truck. Great web site.

Legally, how long of a trailer could you have with this?

Does this really work? Does anyone else have experience with this stuff? Dick

359 Peterbilt Thanks for the pictures. I'm looking for a bumper pull Peterbilt. Looks first class. As the previous poster said, put some pictures on this forum and post it to Race, performance & street cars, engines, engine parts, trailers for sale and it should go. (racingjunk.com) If...

We learn something new every day. Thanks Mr. Blizzard!

Why black? Wouldn't that be hot in the summer? Or is it insulated enough that it isn't material?

My budget Don: I'm bottom fishing. $25k to $50k. Dick

I'm checking Toterhomes, RV's and Motorhomes. The thought process you went through is exactly what I've thought. Don't worry, trashing a toterhome to turn into a full RV is plan B or C at this point. Thanks for the comments. Dick PS: Have you thought about chopping the bedroom off?

I am a faithful viewer of what is for sale on RacingJunk.com. It seems to me that toterhomes (truck conversion with a small box and set up for fifth wheel or gooseneck) are much more plentiful than what I would call a full motorhome truck conversion (no platform in back for the fifth wheel or...

Interesting. Learn something new every day.

What is "FRP"?

Very nice. First class! Good job.

Truck terminology question "Generally used in road applications, not highway applications" What is the difference? I saw that truck Mike is looking at on RacingJunk.com (I think); looks like a 378 Peterbilt. Am I right? The "big trucks" appear to come with 450 to 515hp and a commensurate...
