Really it helps more then you might suspect. Especially as it echoes my thinking to a great degree. I realize and accept that it is near to impossible to evaluate anything from a couple pictures. But experience can guide a persons perceptions and since I have no experience in the area anyone...

Gary - Another what do you think question. Is there a better forum on TruckConversion, where a request for folks to take a look at a rig is more appropriately posted? http://www.rvclassified.com/rvclassified_cfmfiles/search/details.cfm?id=59096

Say Gary - would you be so kind as to take a look at this rig? http://www.rvclassified.com/rvclassified_cfmfiles/search/details.cfm?id=61837 Thinking in terms of an entry level rig to see if I really like RV'ing or not.

Did you guys notice that the Powerhouse http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-52-Class-8-Diesel-S...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem pnly drew a $150,00 bid?

Thank you Gary, that was why I asked. What do you suppose a person could get for those items if removed and advertised for sale? Can you also give me some idea of what is meant by the wording in that ad that mentions both 'spring suspension" in the first line and the SUSPENSION again in the...

Buying this http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/forsale/detail.asp?O...4DA2AA09680A9D0E037D and then sticking a 25'box on the front truck bed and a 30' one on utility trailer. Or maybe get a couple travel trailers and weld them on?

I saw this one earlier today during my daily perusal of eBay; several thoughts and a couple adjectives come to mind; why? cute? lot of truck for a little box, where does the key go? where's the hitch?

Heck yeah, might be a great place to learn and get some hands on experience doing a conversion. Might turn into a nice little camper. I bet you could sell that lift for a few dollars that would add to your budget.

I forgot to ask; Warpath, what about the steps is a consideration? I am not far from approaching the folks at PowerHouse to see what kind of deal I can strike with them to build be one of these. I'd like to hear what old timers think needs consideration.

Not sure how everyone is interperting the weight carrying and towing but what I believe it is supposed to mean is that this vehicle loaded with fuel and water and then take 8,000 pounds of cargo, including chips and beer and still be able to tow 40,000 pounds although of course that is I think...

First you shot your mouth off because you didn't like some other subject I came up with and decided I was still harping about that and accused me of being misleading. I straightened you out on that and now you're yammering about my attitude. Well here is a newsflash for you, dam right I have...

Not in the least actually the whole issue of the tractor and trailer is long over and done with and besides I sent my inquiries to various states long before I asked about the rig to which you refer. Oregon was just the last to respond. There is absolutely nothing misleading, this is an...

Would this qualify as a distinction between camping and RV'ing? :-B

Kaye - If you'd read and considered the question you might have realized it was rhetorical humor intended to conjur up the image of you with a milk bottle held in close enough proximity to trap said volatile gas. You're certainly not the only person here born in the 40's who remembers all the...

No we aren't the only ones, I'mnoteven sure I'd call myself paranoid. Besides whatever possible risk or not there is, propane isn't as clean as electricity for cooking or heating. I don't know about efficiency and cost comparison. I do know that in my area it is cheaper to heat, cook and dry...

Have you noticed how defensive some people get when you mention being concerned about propane's potential for impersonating a bomb?

Oh well if you can't get a good bang out of them then I withdraw the suggestion, I was hoping for something that would sound like a howitzer Does propane have a slower burn rate then acetylene? I've seen guys fill an inverted styrofoam cup and touch it off and it makes a hell of a bang. When...

Gary - do I infer correctly that you have all electric appliances?

Say guys & gals; following up on warning devices that put the true meaning of fear back into cluless drivers someone today reminded me of something I haven't thought about in years. Remember coasting up to a light, turning off they, waiting a couple seconds and then turning thekey back on...

Hi Gary - While it is tru I live in California, I'll be changing my legal residence to somewhere that insurance won't suck me dry and where hopefully there aren't as many over zealous state mounties as there are in California. What I find confusing is the widely varied interpertations of the...

In this instance we aren't talking about a trailer longer then 53" The question in my mind is, with a total ovel all length of 80' tractor and trailer when connected; where do the limits expressed in the url referenced come into play if at all. Apparently the whole trailer length question also...

Recently I received the response below from a fellow who has an RV rig for sale. http://tinyurl.com/gujy2 I have not heard the method of measuring RV's described quite this way before. This answer came as I had questioned the legality of his vehicle as the bumper to bumper length is 80' and...

By definition it's a Class C and I've seen postings that indicate that because it is technically a Class C that some campgrounds have refused them, regardless that they are in every sense just as nice as Class A or Diesel Pushers. Someties they are referred to as "Super-C's"

Polishing isn't hard work, I bet 10 minutes a day would keep it in good shape. Haven't there been thousands of busses with sides like that, I don't remember ever hearing much about that being a problem. Now I've been hearing about a paint named Imron by DuPont which sounds pretty good too...
