LOL!! I liked that. Anyhow, I have not built such a vehicle, but I did contemplate the idea. Are you thinking of a box reefer or trailer? Positives and Negatives that I thought about: 1) could be better insulated 2) might have mold from condensation deposits 3) could be easier fitting AC...

I'm glad I only installed a microwave. this is getting way too complicated.

GK, Have you ever contemplated the installation of a cooking hood like they do at restaurants and pharmaceutical R & D? Doc Weaver

yes bob, my truck is a MDT, not quite as beefy as yours. The problem I have stems from the "toy hauler" format. If the back is empty, it bounces. Apparently the back half needs enough weight to compress the springs, otherwise it becomes a hard-tail Harley Davidson. GK, I'm going to try the air...

Mine is just the opposite. My Freightliner is all spring and the front is not bad at all, and the back is a littler rougher. As for the TC vs MH, The moterhome can't hold a candle to the drive-ability of a Truck conversion. Not even close. Doc Weaver

Arch Angel, If you found a good U-haul, either your a great shopper, or lucky, or maybe both. when I was looking for a straight truck, all the local U-hauls were well worn out, but I digress. Depending on where you are using it, the U-hauls ride very low. This CAN be a good thing, but I take...

I used IKEA cabinets, and they have held up well. Note: The mounting hardware was not designed to go bouncing down the road, so I made my own brackets. Doc Weaver

I have wondered about that as well. If both had air ride, wouldn't the seam between the cab and box need to be structural, in other words, extremely rigid? It would seem to me that there would be a lot of stress in the joint unless completely unified. Doc Weaver

Mine still had a back window in it, so after I removed the window, I just cut straight down. It had nothing to do structural engineering. It was just easier. Doc Weaver

I like buses too, but one other reason for a truck instead of a bus is clearance. I have drug the bottom of an MCI 7 at a truck stop that had a small hill. I had another friend of mine that hung his Silver Eagle making a U-turn. Some buses sit as low as eight inches off the ground. I do too...

hey dog, I used to drive entertainer coaches, actually owned some. My "OPINION" is that a coach like this would have been $300k plus when new. The 8v92 was the hottest thing out in bus engines and the Prevost was taking Silver Eagles title (as king) away. 1) Everybody here knows that big...

So the bottom line is.........the pulling vehicle shouldn't make a difference. right? Doc Weaver

I with Bob86zz4. I understand having weak welds, poor design, vibration degradation, and electro-rust-contamination. I still don't understand the original question. How does a hopped up van have a softer (more reliable) hitch than a full fledged truck (converted)? Doc Weaver

Jealousy, and envy, coupled with self-justification will make people say some dumb stuff. What, supposedly, makes his hitch softer? Doc Weaver

Absolutely! I bought all my stuff factory direct! Too late, it is devalued daily Doc Weaver
