we have had our kingsley since december 2003. we now have nearly 60,000 miles on it. we would not change a thing from the way it now is, which is nearly the way we started with it. it's been to ca. twice fl. a bunch, alaska once new england several times. all in all we would do it again the same...

sean--- REALLY nice rig----i'd like to come see it some time----- mase

wick even if you did the work yourself, i don't think that that it could be done for much less than $4500.00. that looks like a front cap, windshield, and maybe the entrance door. then installation could run around a week, and painting. still it's a clean unit, but on the other hand it will...

if you go to kingsley's home page, then the used coach section, coach 0107 looks like the pic you are talking about. i think that it's a kingsley in the background photo because of the fender flairs--- bill would know for sure,,,,,, if you can get caught up to him.----- mase

dave, our kingsley is almost 4 years old and the exterior looks like new. it's no garage queen either as it has over 50,000 miles on it.------- mase

is, could possibly be any interest in planing a truck conversion get-to-gether???????????? i've thought some about and finally got up the nerve to ask. some time may before hot weather next spring. some where interesting. elkhart could be a possibility, so could anywhere that there is an...

my kingsley which is a k.w. t2000 is done in this way. it's the way i wanted and i think-believe that all kingsleys are done this way. in essence the cab is cut off 4"-6" behind the doors. the air ride is removed and a 3x4 double box section welded in it's place. threr is a roll bar built into...

bill, just peaked at the '06 vetcra. really nice, hope the advances in the industry are successful in keeping you happy. the differences should be really nice. oh--- i just got back from montrose co..we came back with a friend of ours who was driving a kingsley 500 hp cat he used 5 to 4 gal of...

we're 12' 4" and 39" 6". i'd also recommend that the door be at least 14' wide. --- mase

ok,--- i've got 400 plus miles on my donvel setup------ ya just can't ignore the laws of physics and gravity, however that said----- wooowww. this is realllllllly cool we came from arlington to amarillio tx today, overall great roads, however, there are places that aren't great. the donvel...

looseclu, we've got both the mini and the conversion--- so far i've only been able to tell that the mini is a little quicker and doesn't lean so much in the corners. ---- oh the mini get 'bout 30 mpg an' the kw gets 'round 10.---- hope this helps---- mase

bill, i just sent you the back of page one--- guys i hope bill posts these-- i'm gonna try it fo' sure- the gentleman's name is don yates, the web page dosen't do his product justice, IMHO---mase,---oh yeah, it's www.donvel.com

bill you've got mail--- jusy sent you donvel's lit..--- about mileage, i was using the same rear gear and the same high gear, {therotically} for the sake of comparison, --- realizing that if say the coach weight is 32,500 for both coaches and the tires are the same size, then the power to move...

ok---- i've got a question which i think will prove interesting to answer/discuss--- here goes--- at 60 mph you are burning a constant rate of fuel on level land at a steady speed with flat road---- right? so how much fuel will a 300 hp burn in these conditions? say x amount-- ok--- now how...

alan--- that's a real class "a" class c--- really- i just looked at all of the pics--- great job both in the design and the execution. WOW---the only thing i'd need is more power--- umm--- 500 with a 12 speed auto shift and 3.08 gears--- just kiddin'--- good job,-- enjoy--- mase

HEY YOU ALL---- mothers day is sunday---- if momma ain't happy-------mase

bill, i called them yesterday and they are going to send lit. i'm prpobably going to do this as it's my greatest problem with our coach.---- mase

IMHO, this is not a do-able choice. other factors are the length of the wheelbase to keep enough weight on the front axle to be able to steer it, the weight of the cooper isn't the only thing you'd have, the back door-lift, what ever you'd carry, and the structure, frame rails, floor et.. a...

a very lonng time ago i carried a piece of farm equipt. that was broke to the john deere dealer in town, i think it came off of a manure spreader, the piece that is, and the owner who was old at that time looked at it and looked at me and said "tell ya what happened to that" i said "ok", he...

fastlap, i don't know your level of experience------- so i'm sure not talkin' down to you, ok? go to google and tpye in bump-steer, there are a bunch of links on how to identify and correct bump-steer. hope you find the problem, it seems to me that the box could help because now things from the...

gary, not stealing your reply, but excess caster can cause the steering to "feel" heavier, air pressure in the tire can also, yep been said, cause the same thing. i suggest goin' back, if possible to where you were before you noticed this, if in fact, this, is "heavy" what you're sayin'...

plus--- in order to build the carbon fiber you have to bake the semi-finished product in an oven sort of like an autoclave, from what i understand which works well for atuff like indy car cockpits, spars, wings, etc.. i don't know of a way to get the large pieces of a coach body in the oven ...

oh, it's not a powerhouse---- sorry,--- it's a kingsley----- that's 'nother story. ---- mase

thanks marc, yes that's old wood from a place in va.. let me know if you want more info on them, the cabinets are recycled wormy chestnut which is available only as recycled, but the reason is that it's pound for pound it's the strongest, lightest wood that i know of. the cabinets are built by a...

yes, those are pics of our coach.--- the ribbons down the sides are red--for CHRIST'S blood that he shed for our sins, and the purple for his royalty as LORD. and yes the hand rail is a handicap stainless rail that is there for assistance up or down the steps. the step well cover is made of 3/4...
