It is true...that is mine. I am having Kingsley sell it for me since the main reason we are selling it is we are too busy to use it, much less anything else. I do not have the time to worry about where it is listed, what shows it should go to, answer all the phone calls, etc.

5er - The Kingsley Excalibur was their name for their fully custom line. Anything goes in this line up. I know of several coaches in this line that cost over $600K. Dutchman - Have you heard of Prevost? They typically only sleep two and cost well over $1M. Mine is in this line but it was...

geofkaye, gotcha'....they can't see it when they are backing up. It is on the opposite side of the barn. I do have to mention it sometimes to convince them that the doors are large enough for them to back into without hitting anything.

V8, Since I see all types of set-ups on the road (since I80 - IN Toll Rd is the back property line of my land) I see double shorties, triple shorties and even double regulars. Not to mention the extended "show" trucks with 53' boxes behind them. Some of these "show" truck set-ups rival the...

Curious what you mean by this?

Thomas, What are was referring to as "ridiculous" was these stretched out wheelbased tractors pulling a 48' flatbed or 53' box trailer. It makes manuevering very difficult and I am not even going to get into the length laws they are violating. I was not knocking their driving skills nor their...

My property backs up on to I80/90 (Indiana Toll Road) and I see these type of trucks hauling all sorts of stuff on flatbeds all the time. Seems ridiculous to me. Heck there are a lot od drivers that have come up my driveway (we sell hay) to get loaded and half of them cannot seem to manage...

Warpath, My Norcold had the same issue. Blown panel and only running on LP. Took about 4 hours to repair since they had to pull the entire fride out of the cabinet. Hope the rest of your trip goes well. I love my city ride switch. Whenever I see an apron or major grade change coming I hit...

A lot of manufactures are only set up to run a certain number of vehicles thru in a given model year. For example, Newell only sells 40 (IIRC) units in a given model year. When I was at the Tampa RV Show in Jan they took a deposit on their last 2006 model on the Wed of the show. By Sun they...

I really do not need them other than the rear camera. By angling the mirros correctly and then using them, I can see down the entire length of the coach. When we are in a really tight area (i.e. some of the so called "big rig" sites) my wife will get out with our radios and be another set of...

I call it our coach. When making reservations it is a 45' Class A. I am registered at FMCA as a Class A Motorcoach. At Canadian Customs is is a motorhome. When talking to our accountant is is an investment or write-off, depending on what we are talking about. When something breaks down, it...

Racerx When I spec'd out my coach I stated that I wanted the roof to be strong enough to hold several people at a time since I travel to several forms of racing events. The fiberglass roof was also an add-on...I did not want to deal with a rubber roof with all of these people walking on it. I...

How do you know this?!?!? Kingsley does not say anything of this nature...it is simply not true. I have had 14 people on my roof without any problems. My roof has 2"x 4" aluminum framing in the roof on 12" centers, skinned with 1/2" ply on the top and 3/8" ply on the bottom and then laminated...

Yep, that is how I saw it when I was there. They sure do have a lot of them to build...delivery dates into Sept already!

Actually, Kingsley's walls and roof are a 2.5" sandwich of plywood, boxed aluminum studs, plywood, and then fiberglass. The studs are at 16" centers and they use beadboard insulation between the studs. My roof is also spaced at 12" centers since I attend race events and frequently have 8-20...

Blue Skies, The answer is yes and no. They use a box built to their specs by Thor Industries while PowerHouse uses Teton Homes. The difference is that Kingsley physically attaches the box and the cab while PowerHouse uses a rubber boot and a fairing on the outside. To say standard MH...

I know that some of the Prevost conversions have gas fireplaces in them so I don't think there are any laws against it. I say go for it and let us know how it goes.

Yes, Kingsley does offer opposing slides. There is one customer that has had his coach for just over 5 years and he has oppossing slides in the front living area. When they are open he is 15' across. I was in his coach last week and it definitely gives you that wide open feel. He has had no...

I have the 12 spd FreedomLine in our Kingsley. We just got back from a 2255 mile round trip with it. I would not order a truck with any other tranny!! I drove the Eaton AutoShift and it is MUCH better than a regular clutch and the Freedom is 10x better than that. Just north of Chattanogga...

Bob, It is getting delivered this morning. We have to get the systems check done and then we have to get it loaded up since I have an alpaca show to go to this weekend. I will then be out of town for until 2nd week of Nov. After that it will be at my house for a while so you could come over...

2005 Kingsley Coach

Do I have to have a seperate username for the photo gallery? I just uploaded a pic but it was posted like a regular topic. Under "photos" I do not see a link to upload into any of the categories.

Here are some pics of our new 2005 Kingsley Coach. It is built using a brand new 2004 Volvo VN 780. Has Cummins ISX 500 & FreedomLine 12 Spd Auto.

I am picking up my 2005 Kingsley this Wed. We have 6 forward facing captain chairs in the cab. I have a scan of my floor plan but do not have a pic hosting site. The 4 additional chairs all have the integrated shoulder belts in them since our kids all need to be in boosters or car seats for a...

Sean, I can check with them when I speak to them again on Mon. Bill
