In Arizona an RV cannot have a 5th wheel hitch or gooseneck hitch. They can only have bumper pull style hitches. You will probably have to register as commerical truck, used as non commerical. You could remove the goose neck hitch, cover where it went. Tell them you are only going to pull with a...

Doc your truck looks great. When are you going to build your air deflector for windshield noise?

Thanks for the upgrade.

Doc Any chance for a couple of picture's of the two mods? Interesting the fuel mileage increase with the deflector.

Doc Which springs did they pull? The little ones next to the rear end housing? How many springs? Have you done anything with the wind deflector for the hood? Thanks in advance

Thanks Janet H.

Doc, Have you checked the inlet filter/screen on the water pump? Actually both filters.

Volvoman I would suggest looking/searching for posts by "geofkaye"

Doc Any good radiator shop should be able to repair your tank. It would give you time to find a good replacement. Or take your tank off and put your vacuum cleaner hose in your cars tailpipe and the other end in your trucks filler tube let the car run for 15 minutes. Play the torch across the...

Thanks for the additional info Doc. Please keep us informed about this ongoing project.

Doc Have you made your cowl cover yet? Where are you going to place it? What did you do in the dash by the gauges and warning lights? What exact products did you use and where? Do you have any more pictures of this sound project? Thanks in advance, Marty

Doc Any chance of more pictures? I would like to know what products you used and where. Also any installation hints on those products. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations on your First Year Anniversary your project and how you are going about it is very interesting keep up the good work. Wow the monitoring system looks very interesting. Most of us are not electronics engineers how about a drawing and some pictures. We would also like a parts list...

Thanks Andy R We all appreciate this site and thank you for hosting it. Marty

The site has been slow for a few days. Doc You made me feel lucky it only took me 15 minutes. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Does anybody have uni-grips phone number? I've never got the above link to work. Thanks in advance, Marty

Geof Get well soon. The girlz and everybody on this forum need ya.

Geofkaye The FL-60’s current wheel base is 223” I could make it 200” and still have plenty of room for everything. I don’t know its weight. I’ll ask freightliner what the wheel cut is. The trailers loaded weight is 14,200 lbs. of that 2900 lbs. is pin weight. Center of pin to center of first...

Thanks for all of the responses. I am surprised that removing 23” from the wheelbase won’t make it maneuver better when parking etc. I received the official word from Arizona it can’t be a Motorhome / Toterhome unless it’s only a tagalong (bumper pull) trailer. I can built just can’t get it...

I am planning on building a small Toterhome to pull our 37’ fifth wheel trailer. Our FL-60 has a 223” wheelbase which would work fine with one floor plan we have. Our alternate floor plan I could reduce the wheelbase to about 200”. The DW likes the shorter floor plan which is the minimum...

Thanks everyone for the help. The inspector I talked with doesn’t have a problem re-titling it as a motorhome providing I follow their requirements and don’t have a fifth wheel hitch attachment. I guess it’s time to roll the dice and proceed with the project. How about some construction...

Doc Weaver I also was surprised. Progressive and National Interstate have both said the same thing it can’t be home built. I guess the frustrating thing is we have a 2008 fifth wheel trailer from a major company that came to us brand new with over 30 code violations and they have no problem...

Geofkaye I’m out here in Arizona when you need to borrow something. I called Interstates 800 number and talked with one of their reps he said no. He stated it had to be built by a RV conversion shop or manufacture. He said he would talk with his supervisor and get back with me but didn’t think...

I have been watching this site for some time learning today’s methods of construction from all of the experts here. I was planning on building my own Toterhome. I am now being told by a couple of RV insurance companies they won’t insure it if I build it. However if I have it professionally built...
