    text, emails, and forums have a tendency to read different than they were said (typed). Just being cautious. This has always been a friendly forum and I sure don't want to be the one to ruin that.

    just in case my posts read brash, I have nothing against white. I was just curious why the two similar vehicles are treated different. actually if my truck had started out white, I probably wouldn't have had to paint it.

    I haven't had any problems before.... and it was ugly. It was faded red with white rv and basement doors. Its funny to me how most bus conversions are not white, while most truck conversions are white. I wonder why.

    Actually, with the matching basement doors, I think it looks a little more RV than it use to

    24' U-Haul into RV

    I had an NPR. it was a great truck. especially in town. I had issues with it on the highway. The cabover and tall box was like driving a garage door. The trick was to drive 30 - 50 yards behind a tractor trailer. Behind a semi i could go 70mph at half throttle. all by myself I would have to go...

    Well, its all taped up and the trim colors are done. The rear door is gray and the bumper and steps are glossy black. We have to let that cure before we can put tape on the new paint and paint the rest. Actually it has to have red primer before the red paint. This is turning out to be a lot of...

    Well Grande Rojo is finally sanded. Tomorrow begins the miles of masking. Probably shoot the paint next week. I can't wait. I have done the functional things first, so its about time my truck finally looks good. I'll post pics when its done.

    24' U-Haul into RV

    If it is an actual "U-Haul", be careful. U-haul usually wears them out hard before they sell them. So have it gone over with a fine tooth comb.

    Fuel Gauge - <all over the place>

    you're not the only one. I haven't been online. Anyhow, I have had unrealistic fuel guages myself. My last truck told me I had plenty of fuel .... as I ran out. This truck is more like yours. my troubles started when I replaced the fuel tank with an aluminum tank that comes on the newer model of...

    nose cone

    I went through the same thing. There are used ones out there. check the salvage yards. I found one for a different truck, cut it to fit, and made new braces and brackets. I am in the process of painting it right now. As soon as I get it finished, I'll post pics.

    Wasn't somebody trying to design stairs?

    my main reason for manual steps was cost, and I too do the walk around before leaving. What got me was moving the truck to the back yard. I didn't feel the need to do a Safety check ....... that was stupid. :D I like the cup idea though.

    I would like to have (mayge need to have) some automatic steps like that.

    Wasn't somebody trying to design stairs?
