Couple of comments ... First: I was confused, then I thought I had it figured out, now I'm confused. I've figured it out that the water tank is below the driver's door. Is the water being held in the aluminum tank? Or is the water being held by a plastic tank inside the aluminum tank? I...

Looks nice. How long is the box for living? You'll appreciate the fuel tanks under the driver's door; opens up more storage "below". You can't ever have enough storage for your "stuff". Now with the fuel tanks that far forward, do everthing you can to move the weight back. You might want...

Should be criminal. When I bought my race car in 2005 I needed to find something to haul it in. Never owned a trailer before. Went to Muellers Sales and Service in Random Lake (WI). Talked to Jerry Mueller (he and his brother had raced in ARCA as well as NASCAR Cup and Trucks and knew what...

From what you said the focus of the truck will pulling RV trailers for delivery. Pulling a 5th wheel in one direction and returning empty in the other direction. I see those types of things all the time on I roads in the area; they are always pulling something north and west bound out of...

FWD 6X6 Truck | eBay Good starting point for a truck conversion motorhome? Dick

I should have updated. Cathie got ill late last week or our trip to La Crosse was postponed. We're headed back this Saturday though. Thanks for checking up.

Train Horns As I type this ... I'm listening to a train horn on a real train about 2 miles away! Sometimes I think the real, underlying reason I want a truck conversion is so I can put train horns on it!

Nice work. What kind of a hand riveter did you use? Handles as long as a Channel-Lock? I used some big rivets recently and borrower one that had handles about 2 feet long and that really worked slick. Never used an air riveter. I wanted to borrower one, but they guy who loaned me the big...

We're going to look at this truck conversion on Saturday. 2010 Peterbilt 379 Custom Coach Race Hauler For Sale I'd like comments, opinions, and shared experiences with the following: 1. C-15 CAT 475 HP 2. 12 SPEED FULL CLUTCHLESS AUTOMATIC ROCKWELL MERITOR TRANNY 3. CUMMINS ONAN...

Nice truck. How long is the motorhome box (without the bunk over the cab)? Thanks!

I'm interested in this truck conversion. I know the owner's brother and father; the owner and his brother built it. They don't build many of these, but they always do good work with what they do build. 2010 Peterbilt 379 Custom Coach Race Hauler For Sale I don't think it has three things...

This should be a great looking truck when you're done. Are you going to twin chrome stacks on it?

What are you expecting to pay? Isn't the U-Haul going to have a bunch of tough miles?

So you discarded the van body?

I like the roll up doors too. I've been coveting them looking a fire trucks, which are almost always natural aluminum. Didn't know how much I like the painted ones, they really, really nice. I would think that rollup doors make much more sense than either top or bottom hinged. Do you think...

Very, very nice. What was the truck before the conversion and what did you do with it?

Now that is a great idea. You never know when you're going to need it and its handy.

Just a deer? What moose, elk, bear, horse, cow?

Nice stuff!

The location of Bob's tanks put the weight of the water over and close to the rear axle, which can handle the weight better than the front axle. Mr. Beech: Where are your fuel tanks located? Under the cab doors? or in back of the cab. The latter moves the weight of the fuel towards the rear...

I couldn't have said it better.

What is the "ideal" front/rear balance range for a truck? I suspect that the truck engineers can provide with a range to work with.

I talked to the owner of a used Kingsley Peterbilt motorhome for sale in New York a few months ago. I didn't get a good picture of it, but the owner described to me that Kingsley (or maybe someone else) had built into the back of the motorhome the "stringer" that you see on a rollback wrecker...

I see a complete rebuild of the table leg in the near future!

I agree with all these guys. With most things that move you want the weight low ... except probably a woman and then high is optimum. It appears you're mounting the tank in the front of the box. More weight on the front axle. By moving the water taken further back (even behind the rear...
