Bob, The last time we talked to DirecTV about it, you can pay a small fee(5ish dollars) to add an additional access card for a motorhome receiver. You can call them to activate and they'll only charge you the fee as long as you need it, when you park for the winter you can deactivate. I don't...

Thanks Gene, a lot of engineering there. We're glad we did it, though. Bob, Thanks. I've been quiet on our schedule updates and the website on the whole. This is mainly because we haven't been pulling over the last 2 seasons. In my little bits of free time I'm trying to piece together updates...

Hello All, As you may remember, we finished building our motorhome last year. We finally bought the stainless steel wheel simulators to dress it off. It looks quite sharp now. We're building a trailer to tow behind, it's about 75% done. I posted pictures with the new wheel...

Hey Gary, Step-Up Manufacturing in Eugene, Oregon makes the steps we use. Very high quality, go with the double bar option for extra strength. Here's the link: http://step-upproducts.com/index.html Brad Jerew Wild Times Motorsports www.wildtimesmotorsports.com

Hey Gary, I'm not exactly sure where we got the steps, I'll check with my dad who found them online and I'll let you know. I remember being pleasantly surprised at how relatively inexpensive they were. Thanks for your comments! I don't know if it's easier than a stairwell, but it's certainly...

Thanks dgorila1, This is the main reason we built the rig ourselves, instead of buying one. To buy a rig like this new would be 150,000+ We can't swing that kind of expense. We've also built every other hauler and competition vehicle we've had ourselves, so why stop now? lol We love the...

Hey dgorila1, Thanks! Yes we did use a stock cargo box, a 24'6" Supreme Corp. van box. It still had the roll up door on the back and steel threshold on the floor in the back, we just put the time in to construct a new header and took the door down. We then ordered original aluminum upright...

Thanks for the comments!! It was a four year labor of love with 4-5 men working on it on weekends and in "free" time. Bob, I think if we happen to pull up against a curb, the steps would probably be all up on the curb or still on the apron, but if we have a height discrepancy, it would be...

Hello Everyone, Click here to see the pictures! We've finally finished our four year project: "Remember When," our completely hand-built custom coach built on a stretched 1993 FLD120 with a 24'6" aluminum cargo box. I updated you all a couple of years ago about half-way through the project...

Just a little update on our project (93 FLD120 - Homemade 2008 Conversion) We've just finished the paint, clear-coat, buff and polish on the paint! The exterior is basically done now except for the finishing touches. We're now moving into the cab to make our own interior panels and door panels...

I've seen some 120s with integrated sleepers, turned into conversions. Mostly what I've seen was some people who used the factory flare of the cab, then cut it off and made their own corners, finishing the back of the cab off flat, to mate to a box. You just have to buck aluminum rivets. We...

Thanks to all for the compliments! We're laying out and taping the stripes down the sides of the coach right now -- hopefully we can finish painting them in the next couple of weeks. Cowtown, No, it didn't start as a day cab, it had a detached sleeper and not an integrated sleeper, so we were...

We're finally nearing the end of our project. 4 years of work in the evenings and weekends to reach this point. Just wanted to share our progress with all of you. Bill, I know we had talked in e-mail a couple of years ago and I promised to update you. Here ya go! Let me know what you think...
