    Insurance woes

    Sounds good to me. I pay $62 per month with State Farm for liability only on an unconverted truck, which is rated as commercial at the moment and valued at $15,000. Peter.

    Insurance woes

    Patrick, I would think that it is more like Class C motorhome. That is how I think of my FLD 120. I don't have the body over the cab, but I do have 2 side doors and a walk through from the cab into the main body, just like a C Class motorhome. If it is totally home converted with no company...

    Patrick, You might find your problems stem from your own description of your vehicle. Having been involved in Bus Conversions for some time, it is a rule that once the bus is converted, even if it only a basic conversion so as to get the motorhome registration, you never refer to it as a bus...

    Patrick, Thanks for the name and number. I have just realized that I did not put my location in my email. I am in Kingman Arizona. I would like to find someone a little closer, but if not, then it would be a nice drive over to IN. Thanks again for taking the time to answer me. Peter.

    Need help on the underside storage boxes & auto tranny
