I thought that the main advantage of the 330 HP engine is that also torque raises from 860 to 1000 lbf. Can this be done with upgrade chips? Walter

Yea, i was afraid he would come back under different name. Dont know what this guy's agenda is, its just stupid. Read his other post under his new name, just a repeat of old stuff. Stupid and ennoying. Guess some people have really nothing better to do with their life, we should feel sorry for him.

Finally!! I would not have been even that patient with this guy as you were. Got tired of reading his negative comments in every single thread now. Lets hope he does not resurrect under different name. So now lets go back to our normal discussions... Walter

Hi Steve, have been following your website for quite some time now. Love your pics, even most your conversions are longer than I personally look for. You completed a quad-slide motorhome? Thats impossible! According to RV Truckin only Cowboy Cadillac is the only company to make that.... (Just...

I still remember the time when I passed a Gendarmerie (Sherif) on the Autobahn in Austria with his lights and siren on. But then again at that time cops still used VW beetle and passat and i drove a BLMC Rover, and there was no law yet against dusting a cop. lol Bet time has changed... Just...

Hi Mike... there was another thread http://truckhome.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7146069053/m/1781030423 under general discussion Re conventional vs COE, and when I brought up Europe (Im from Austria) I stirred up some quuite interesting comments. Did not know they had old roman roads in .. shall...

Dont know anything about sound, but Dollar bills... $ 2,400 of them is a lot. But then again, no money is too much for a safety devise, right?

Actually just checked the link you provided and read the following: "The 5 aluminum bells can be easily reversed allowing you to project sound in both directions." So it IS a safety devise. How you think tailgaters will react when they get the message? lol, they will fall back at least half a...

Oh, it was for entertainment only, I though you referred to a new style of "right of way" and "merging" lol Well, in my case it did not help that cops who were on the szene assumed I honked at them cause they detoured traffic... Walter

You know as much fun as it sounds, the guy is asking for a ticket. I once had to go to court - and luckily won - for honking without emergency, or whatever that exact paragraph is called in Los Angeles. Walter

Actually it has the specs on the site you refer to. DIMENSIONS Length: 3,538mm (11' 8") Width (body only): 1,589mm (5' 2.6") Height: 1,540mm (5' 1") Luggage capacity (rear seats up): 206 litres. Luggage capacity 5-dr (2-seat mode up to roof): 775 litres. Kerb weight (1.1 Active): 840kg (1.3...

5. "Freightliner LLC, a DaimlerChrysler company, is the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America and a leading producer of medium-duty trucks and specialized commercial vehicles. " There you go, standard in many Freightliner is the MB4000 engine, in the smaller ones the MB900/926...

Go to "Photos" on the top of the page, on the photo page go to "Member galleries" and there jump to "j" for Jim Gehlen. Walter

Yea, dont get me all . Actually I ment Randy B. Sorry Randy, for us having fun with your name. Walter

Buy it now price on the first one of $ 120,000 is dirt cheap for Dynamax. But I was told I should look for bigger engine, so I'm passing on that one. But sure very nice looking. Walter

Hi Jimm i remember your rig when it was originally posted (I think ebay) for sale. Looks like you have pretty good idea on how to change it. Please post pics after your done. These combinations you are decribing with bedroom over part of garage are actually getting more common. I have seen...

Hey fastlap, When you are emailing your pics, send some to me as well. wallik@aol.com. Really would like to see how short your conversion is and how the wheelbase looks like. Lookes like you did the same as I should be doing. So i guess i start to quizz Randy Buttle first and see where that...

Well, the 2005 CA Drivers Handbook states that class C is good for 'ANY HOUSECAR 40 FEET OR LESS.' and does not specify weight or axles on housecar, only the length. But at the same time it says, class C is only good for a 3 axle vehicle 6,000 lbs or less. So, depending on which part you want...

I might have to stand corrected on my response. Even though CA drivers handbooks says under class C license ... any housecar 40 feet or less... i got 2 responses on the other thread that for a 3 axle conversion you still need a non-commercial class A. As i am still a few month away from my...

Hi Professor let me answer only your question 13, as I had sort of similiar question like you in another thread and the license came up. I see you are also in CA, and as per the 2005 edition of the CA drivers handbook there are not even endorsements for air brakes or such. All you need is your...

V8rail, you had me scared there for a while. But I found info in the new California Drivers Handbook 2005 edition. "" Class C You may drive: any 2-axle vehicle with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less. any 3-axle vehicle weighing 6,000 lbs. or less gross. any housecar, 40 feet or less. a...

So for many of you guys "out west" here in CA is still considered the "Wild West"? No wonder I have a tough time passing trucks when im doing 120 in my Mercedes SLK. Walter

Did not know that CA required non-commercial class A for twin rear. I do know that CA is one of the few states where weight (the onymous 26,000 lbs) does not matter, as long as you are under 40 feet, talking about RV. When we opened it to 45 feet 2 or 3 years ago (even some DMV websites still...

Hi all Following are many questions for all you experienced guys out there. Im looking for real life experience, not just stats or numbers. I am looking at a conversion not longer than 26 to 28 ft, most likely custom floorplan. Most standard converters (Showhauler, Haulmark, Kibbi) like to...

Looks exactely like the one that is listed on Hickory Enclosed's website for $ 181,000, even they list the truck as 2001 with 5oo HP Cat. Same pics though. http://www.hickoryinclosed.com/motorhome/mh_currentinventory.php Walter
