John, Try Hawk Engineering in Jackson MO. We just completed a 42ft coach with an 8ft garage on a KW T2000. We used a 2001 model year truck, stretched frame and build a new 27 ft box with lower garage unit just like you mentioned. Price was very reasonable and the build quality is...

Welcome Trent, There is a wealth of information on this site but not a lot of activity recently. I am in the process of building a toy hauler type T 2000 and have gleamed much from the members here. I am sure you will enjoy it too. Good luck on your return trip. Jim There is a wealth...

I agree with Bob's observations. The overhang makes it look pretty odd but provides for a large sleeping area. I dont see much in the way of ramps to make the garage real usefull. It's way up there with no lift gate and no built-in ramps. I wonder what the prefered cargo was when this was...

Geo, The idea of a bed liner on the roof is an excellent idea from several perspectives. "¢It is incredibly durable and UV resistant and color fast "¢It seals up the entire surface with a flexible membrane like surface "¢And it is a perfect non-slip surface to walk on if you load or use your...

Doc, It's a whole lota work but dont forget about the whole lot of fun and satisfaction too. Enjoy the project...we sure are Jim

Geo, I am not sure if anyone makes an efficient portable HWH as you described; totally portable plug and play? But then Im not sure I understand what you're really after? Are you looking to keep your standard tank type water heater also? The RV500 is a direct replacement for the...

I am just getting started on the cab refurbish of our T2000 project. I am in need of several OEM style switches for the dash and new panels for the dash. Many of the dash panels have been "modified" by the previous owner and I would like to return them to standard or better. Some cool carbon...

One more update to this post... Last week we installed and tested the ride height option discussed above. Everything worked as planned with one exception. The ride height control switch didn't respond as we had thought. A bit of frustration and some experimentation led Jason to dismantle the...

I have a quick update to the ride height / air cylinder that we installed last month. It works great in the shop and raised the back of the truck about 4.5" higher at the rear corners where it is most likley to get hung-up. We upgraded the solenoid to a 3-way that bleads off the air when it...

This looks pretty interesting. I just did a quick comparision between the RV500 and a Suburban 10 gal. Here is what I found out. Precision-Temp RV500 Recovery - Shower temperature water output at 1.5 gpm (that's a heavy shower) with incoming water temperatures low as 40 degrees o...

Ahhhhhhhhh - none as a motor home so far. We are still "in process" and we havent driven the truck since we stretched the frame and began building the box. When we were rebuilding the motor and replacing the kingpins we were getting about 9.9 by the computer. Now this was all local back...

We are stretched 7 ft and adding a custom scratch built box. Total length will be about 41 when we are done.

Hi Jim, We have a 01 T2000 and are well into the process. We are in St Louis area and will gladly share our experiences with you about our build. Send an IM anytime Rad

That looks great... Rad

Today I ordered the cylinder that I will use for the lift adjust on the back of my T2000. I think the T is different from the Volvos that I have been reading about in that the actuator rod I am replacing is only 9" long. The combination detailed by Dr Fun is too long for my truck, (but I still...

Until 2+ years later? Have we awakened the sleeping genus? I think this will work out pretty well. I am considering a simple 1-way solenoid and a controled bleed hole to bleed off the air in the extension cylinder and return to the normal position. Simple and elegant solution to the...

Brilliant indeed, I am on Mc Master Carr right now checking out the parts and matching them up with my application. I also had a great conversation with FastLap tonight. I think I have the solution I was looking for. I will let you all know how it works out. One note: I believe I will use an...

Fastlop, I have been considering the same solution on my project that you mentioned in this post. Can you tell me where you got the cylinder with part numbers and the like? I would like to learn more about how you solved this issues... Diagrams or pictures would be great Thanks Jim
