    Slide outs

    I have a 12ft long 36" deep slide in the living room on the driver side and nothing on the other side. My kitchen sink and counter is on the passenger side so when its closed up there is about 30 inches of clearance to the counter. I like this setup vs. the opposing slide outs as I have lots...

    Drive shaft angle/vibration question

    For me the vibration goes away as soon your foot comes off the throttle. Will check the clutch adjustment out though for sure. I did have problems with the airride valve sticking so have replaced it as well. When I had the truck at CIT, they checked all the angles of the drive line and set...

    Expanding a sport

    I live near Madison, Wi.... Their they manufacture the FRP panels for Morgan. Not sure of other manufacturing companies closer to you of the material? Price wise is kind of pricey. I was looking for a sheet of 8 foot wide by 28 feet long and I believe it was around $2k. If I were you I might...

    45 foot T2000 Conversion with Camper

    Feels like I haven't made much progress this winter but slow and steady I guess! Here are some pictures of painting the slide out and interior work. Working on staining all the cabinet doors for the kitchen and bathroom. That has proven to be a much larger task than I originally gave it...

    A "crappy" problem

    The picture I took is with the air bags dumped so there is more room when running down the road but yes there is a risk there.... More reason to keep good rubber on their! It is also built of .125" stainless steel so should stand up to any debris hitting it, but you are right, any kind of tire...

    A "crappy" problem

    I would agree with Hot Rod. When building my conversion I had run into the same problem. Every where I wanted to put the toilet ended up over a tire. I finally decided to build a custom tank and put it in between the tires. The only way I would attempt to not put the toiled over the tank...

    FL70 walkthrough conversion possible?

    The diamond blade or steel metal cutoff wheel will cut the steel no problem, but it isn't going to cut the FRP. You will need some kind of wood blade to cut the FRP. I think that sealant would work. I like using 100% silicone.

    FL70 walkthrough conversion possible?

    I plan to do the same with my t2000 to FRP box, however all the cuts I have made through my frp which includes window openings, doors, slideouts, vents etc.... I have done 2 coats of urethane on all the freshly cut wood. If water gets in there it will delaminate and will be ruined. I have cut...

    "OPT" switches on Freightliner dash - what do they do??!

    Just guessing, but "opt" is probably short for optional. I would think you have spots on your fuse board that you could wire stuff off of that are controlled by these 3 switches. If you look at the fuse board you will probably see OPT in 3 spots but nothing wired to them.

    45 foot T2000 Conversion with Camper

    Slide out #2 is in!! Well I had my son's 6th birthday party over the weekend and knowing I would have lots of helpers around, I made sure to utilize them towards the end of the party by having them help lift this slide out in. Even with the use of my 2 post car lift and sons 4 wheeler, it was...

    45 foot T2000 Conversion with Camper

    Thanks for the info Don. I don't have anything specific in mind for needing pass through storage other than my friends class A has the sliding trays on his and it seems like he can cram lots of stuff on those and still access them.

    45 foot T2000 Conversion with Camper

    Hey guys... thanks for the questions. The truck had dual 135 gallon tanks. I average 6.5 mpg or so pulling the trailer so I should have no issues going atleast 600 miles on a tank of fuel. I am thinking that will be sufficient? Your thoughts/experience on that? My thinking for the...

    45 foot T2000 Conversion with Camper

    Living Room Slide out Was able to get the slide out wall cut out. I am sure the structure I made for it is way over kill but what else is new. I used 1.5" x 3" .180" wall boxed steel all the way around the opening and then a piece of 2" x 3" .250" wall steel for the header. The top, bottom...

    I know what I want

    I am using American Family. I pay $480 for the year. The only problem I am having right now is they are only insuring it for the value of the tractor that it originally was. I am pretty far through my conversion now and would like it insured for more than the tractor but require to have it...
