I know that......but what is the requirement?

Can you expound on that? What kind of permits?

There's a LOT of people doing what you want to do right here: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showforum=32 Right now that forum is acting up.....normally it's fine. Give it a few hours if you can't get in.

You haven't met my sweetie yet......she'll go anywhere and do anything, thank goodness, as long as it's 72.5º......hey, it is what it is.

Anyone ever built one? After a ton of reading I think above the floor is my ticket (it's a "couch" slide) and manual would be fine.... 6'x2'

One thing to consider with electric heat is that you either have to be plugged in or have the genny running. (Or a huge battery bank with a 2000W inverter) I don't want to run the genny all night when it's chilly so I will have to have some sort of fossil fuel. Diesel heaters are not cheap, so...

Very Cool.....

Where do cheap plastic RV's go when they die? There have to be boneyards.....I want to see if I can get my hands on a slide out......

Ah, I LIKE those Rheems!

Welcome... don't own one, getting ready to build one myself. Yes, it does require some funds..... Knowing the pitfalls before you get into something is a good philosophy.

Did you check out Aqua Hot? About 8 large and a diesel tank and you have all the hot water you need, AND a boiler for your space heating.

Yes, that gets complicated.

Depending on what you have in it now, it will be over 22.5 when you're done putting appliances, tanks etc etc in there.

For the floor I would put runners under the 3/4" plywood. On the seams, as you will otherwise never keep them even and then, say, 2 feet OC. This should take care of any compression.

Thanks for your reply. All this is still in the design phase. Your point about wheel clearance is VERY valid and one I had not considered yet....thanks!

Welcome.....sounds like a great truck to start a conversion.....

Was he happy with the results?

A few thoughts...... Lock the race fuel tank. Hide the key where only you know where it is. 8mgp for the HDT may be optimistic.

Very cool!

This dude is on the Escapee forum as a member and RV'er, and built his own. But he also does it for a living. He has pointed out he'll do partial builds...... Custom Motorhomes, Motorcoaches, Toterhomes, Truck Sleepers, and Enclosed Trailers :: Transport Designs Here's his personal blog...

Very Snazzy!

Hope it works if you shell out that kind of dough....

That would be my guess. Regardless of year or make, somewhere in there there's a big nut on a splined shaft. You may need a puller to get the wheel off the shaft.

25kw.......:eek::eek::eek: OK it's a PTO, still, I could power the house during a blackout! Seriously, this engine has a LOT of hours on it, as it ran for 300+K miles, AND it ran when it got there to generate the juice.
