My volvo rode beautiful as a bob tail tractor and it still rides beautiful as a short conversion with the air ride cab gone ! My wife sez " its a good thing you talked them into leaving the air ride cab" instead of locking it solid!( she thinks its still air! we cant tell the difference ! t

Why not use a remote car starter ? many have voltage sencing that will make them start the car or (in this case generator ) when voltage drops below a adjustable set point ! You also can remote start your gen. wihch can be handy! Or did I miss something here ? t

How tall are most conversions ?, and is there a hi tech way of checking clearance !/ I guess I am looking for an upside down depth finder! How do people make sure their proposed route has no low underpasses ? My rig is a hair under 13'6" and I find there is alot of unmarked bridges (on...
