Tallcrown, I am currently converting a kentucy type trailer to a race hauler with living quarters. Let me tell you, it is a lot of work. But I am totally happy doing it. The biggest problem is the stare time. I spend more time thinking about how things should be done than I actually do...

Well Geoff. I have kind of taken your suggestion. Since there was already an electric water heater in the trailer, I have decided to put in two systems (it was actually easier to do this than to switch to gas). When I am at a place that provides hookups, the system will use the electric water...

Nevermind, I figured it out. I found a manual I had from a previously owned RV. The thing sits sideways in the RV with the bottom facing out thru a cutout. Its called a direct vent water heater. Mike

Hi, Has anyone installed one of the 12v with gas RV type water heaters? I have one that was pulled from a wrecked travel trailer. I am trying to find out how the venting works for the gas portion of the water heater. There does not seem to be a vent pipe anywhere. Could it be that one is not...

As if you did not have enough to think about... This may be sacrilegious on this forum, but have you thought about buying a tractor trailer? I am into mine right now for about 25k. Probably have about 40k when I am done, but I am installing a lift gate that could lift a car if needed. If you...

In CA for any three axle tractor/conversion you will need a non-commercial class A. I checked with them when I was planning on doing one and took the test. The test was not that hard, I passed it without studying too much. But, be prepared, they will make you re-take ALL licensing tests that you...

Ok, let me just start with this may seem really stupid or naive, but I just would like to know. I know that it is not legal or advisable to ride in a tag trailer. But I thought I read in the DMV literature that passengers are allowed in a fith wheel trailer. Anyone know if this is true? If it...

I bought one of the liftgate kits from Wildside. I don't see it on their site anymore. It is a pretty nice unit and I would recommend it(at least from the looks of it, haven't used it yet). Comes complete with everything except the door. I am still in the process of mounting it, have not really...

They look pretty cool, but one question I have is - what if you lose a tire out in the middle of nowhere? Will there be someone close by that stocks these and will you be able to get one? I guess one possible fallback is to carry two regular rims (maybe your take-offs). But who wants to do that...

doh! Right you are, here is the link for the 96 S&S http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIte...rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

ok, thanks guys. I knew someone would have an answer. Wick, I can't seem to find any info on Manis Bond. Where can I get it? Should I just check with my local trailer repair shop? Thanks

what they told me is that is has to be a 'house car'. Simply put, it has to have the amenities to support living in it (bathroom, kitchen, sleeping quarters, etc.). You will need to have it inspected by the DMV to have it considered and registered as a house car or RV. The requirements are vague...

I guess I should have given a little more info. I have a 45foot trailer that I am using to load my drag bikes and putting in living quarters. The previous owner put some diamond plate on top and was going to use it as an observation deck. The roof leaks I think from the pop rivets that he used...

Does someone have any suggestions for a roof coating/waterproofing? I know they have some at the RV store, but thought I might ask to see if there is anything else out there that will do the job (or maybe a better job). Thanks, Mike

Thanks Geof, I'll will take you up on that and send you something as soon as I write it up. I like to read as well, so if anyone has any links...

I am looking for a source that is pretty complete about how to setup an electrical system for an RV. What I am doing is converting a semi trailer into a race hauler for motorcycles. I will have (mostly) 120v lights (flouescent) in the trailer. There will be things like the fridge and TV's and...

I have an International with a sleeper and have put two bench seats facing each other back there. The bench seat backs are removable and fit in the middle of the bottom part of the seat to form a bed. I have two kids (10 and 12) and with a game boy for each, they never even notice they are in a...

Of course the date of this was 1999. I am sure that there have been some improvements since then. I think they even mention that you had to wait until an incinerating cycle was complete before using it again which I think is no longer true. Mike

I currently have a van box on the back of the truck for hauling my drag racing motorcycles and I pull a toy trailer. The box has the wood slats that you mention. I put up 3/8 ply over the wood slats and some wainscoating over that. It seems pretty sturdy, I would not have a problem hanging...
