Lights. Lots of LED lights. Tons of LED lights. Horn. A train whistle horn. Let them know your coming down the road or to get out of the way. A friend of mine had a Bluebird MH back in the 1980's. It had "The Horn". You could select the tune to "play" from a list. While at the All...

What about those Cat engines? Are those "good" engines? or something we should stay away from. The administrator should consider starting a thread for each engine make and series and allow the users to comment. That way when we're looking at a truck with an ABC 4360 engine, we could look at...

Search Hawk Engineering, they can help you out. I agree with the comments on the limo conversion company. I was involved in my Dad's hearse rental business for a while. The hearse builders also build limos. I've been to two factories ... I don't think the hearse/limo companies are capable...

I'm curious. Why do you ask?

Good luck with the fix. How often does this happen? Is this pretty rare? common? Usually, what is the cause? Poor construction or stuff just happens?

Have you looked at what Gale Banks offers? I see lots of racers putting Gale Banks conversions on their trucks. Good luck!

Why don't you leave the batteries "hooked up" and have the INTELLIGENT battery maintainer permanently hooked to the batteries? When you camp or store the coach, the motor is shut off and alternator isn't trying to put a charge into the batteries. Then when you plug in shore power, the...

Let us know what you find out.

What you've said is exactly what I've been told. A sponsor is "enough" to cross the line.

I have a friend who has raced for 40 years, has toter home and fifth wheel stacker trailer. Race have the names of this sponsors. He is concerned about this. He did go out and get his CDL. His theory is that he can be stopped, get a bunch of tickets, get cussed out over not having a DOT...

What are you trying to accomplish? How many miles a year do you put on?

Thanks much!

Thanks for all the advice. I have a 24' enclosed trailer that is probably 10,000# to 11,500# depending on how much stuff I put in it. Ideally a 45 foot T/C with a HD liftgate and high garage would be the perfect ticket, but they appear to be very far and very few between. Want a T/C we can...

Thanks for the advice! How do you know I'm on RJ every day? Can you see me out there? Who else knows?

What do you guys think of these two trucks as candidates for conversion: The first one is a cab and chassis. All the stuff you don't need for a conversion has been removed. Is the front axle strong enough? 6.43 rear gears, is that numerically too high? Can someone enlighten me about the...

Mr. Blizzard: Do you pull a trailer? If you do, would you be legal? I shared all this stuff with a good friend who is a long time racer. He has a Topkick toter home and Pace stacker trailer. He said almost all the racers pulling an closed trailer with just about any race car (expect for...

Hot Rod: All I can say is holy sh**! I can't believe you were able to write that with what appears to be tremendous amount of restraint. New guy from Canada (can't remember your handle): Have you thought about weight and balance after you remove the "forward rear axle"? By removing that...

Mr. Blizzard you are so eloquent. Why did it sell for such a low price? Did the limited narrative description contribute to that? Or is this just indicative of the market. If you didn't look closely at the picture you would have missed that there is a ladder to the roof. Makes one wonder...

Do you put anything in around the pex? Or leave it loose between the boards. I presume at the end of the run you radius the boards so that the pex can make the bends. Great idea. I suppose you can retrofit an existing house this way. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of plywood? Marine grade?

I just pulled this from the Liberty Coach web site: "Metal fresh water and holding tanks, specifically stainless steel and aluminum, instead of plastic with reduces greatly the odor and bad taste." Do you think stainless steel for the gray and black with aluminum for the fresh? Or stainless...

Last summer I looked at a 1981 Prevost (I think it was a Marathon conversion). In 1996 it had a new engine and transmission installed and the Marathon factory (or whoever did the original conversion) did a complete update of the interior and updated the outside lights to bring it into the 20th...

28' motorhome conversion on freightliner For Sale Did you see this one on racingjunk.com ? Posted today.

I agree with Don. A good friend of mine was into Prevost motorhomes converted by Liberty Coach. I was fortunate enough to go on a number of racing trips to Indianapolis, Michigan, and Daytona with him alone sometimes, members of his family sometimes, and once or twice with a bunch of guys. He...

Wow! Did you machine that out of billet aluminum? What about aluminum and the corrosive stuff in the tank? I suppose if the tank is aluminum, then its fine for this piece to be aluminum. Do the insides of the aluminum waste tanks corrode badly? I hadn't thought about it until right now...
