Hey Snook; Now that is creative and looks neat, good job and now that the work is over go have fun slingin mud. PS: I will send some pictures of the garage I just finished later.

rwrr01 That is one trick lookin layout, it will be hard to wait to see how that unit finishes out, thanks for the post, keep up the great work.

I may be able to dig up one, I will let you know, do want a new one or is used OK? Richard

Wallik: The deck was 10' long and I added 5 1/2'. Travis: Roof wraps and the s-lock trim was supplied by Show Hauler, compartment doors were made by Nappenee Window to match the original ones used in the early 2000's. Thanks for the interest, Richard

JIMM; Which doors are you looking for, compartment or entry, I have had to order both in the last 4 months also what year Showhauler do you have? Richard

Bill; That is one trick looking unit, I should be heading to Middlebury next weekend to pick up a load of stuff from Lonnie, I will send some photos of my Toter to Garage later. Have fun, that really looks good. Richard

Bill; The siding is attached with 3M VHB, and you are right, you better have it where you want it because it will require another truck to remove it. I have been removing panels that have been on for 4 years plus and they are a bear, details later still.

Hey Mase; Merry Christmas, when are you heading back to Va., after the spring thaw?

Dutch; Check under "links" above that Bill put together for everyone when he was looking for every gadget invented for his FLD120.

Contact S&S and request a copy of the original cert of orgin which will clearly state that it is a motorhome conversion, present that to the MVD and go from there.

Bill; As you already knew, aluminun is one of the best heat conductors there is, you just needed another reminder, im glad you didn't have slack adjuster problems.

Bill; You may want to check the front slack adjusters, typically one may adjust up to far, but not both.

PBARR; Also check with Double Eagle, they are another custom sleeper builder about 10 or 12 miles west of ICT in Shipshewana In. www.doubleeagleind.com

PBARR; Check out www.drivetrain.com/exhaustbrake.html there is some info on exhaust brakes for the smaller Cummins there.

Bill, Neat sillouette, how the heck do you do that, and looks like a good design, what might the load rating be on this hitch? Richard

Wick: Two quiestions, what trans are you running and is it single axle or tandem? I went thru the same routine 2 years ago and got most of the drive line vibration out of mine.

As you were, you asked for on line info, look at www.hehr-international.com PHELPS

Check Ickes rv 765.728.5668 ask for Randy, or look at- http://members.cox.net/agkcpa/salvage.htm and you will find a list of vendors that should have about anything you are looking for. Don't let salvage confuse you, most of this inventory is new old stock. Richard PHELPS

I have been looking around here trying to find an old, (late 60s) Mack B61 or B67 for a guy i talked to the other day. Any considerations agout one pf these? they look realy neat when restored. PHELPS

Viki: I just got thru looking at the latest issue of National Dragster,(an NHRA publication) and thought about you. This issue is loaded with new and used motorhomes, so if you know of any drag racers in your area, beg, borrow or steal one and take a look, even the new dealers have dropped...

Phil: Thats a good looking Motorhome you just got and it looks sooooo much less butt heavy with the tandem, good choice, this will realy improve your braking power, handling and traction when you need it. When i started on mine all i got was, "we don't like tandems, we don't do tandems", i...

Check out www.iowa80.com and if they don,t show it, ask they will know if it exists. PHELPS

Cleeglog: Unless you are building on a used truck, there is no need to stretch a chassis. Most all of the truck manufacturers offer a chassis combination, (single axle, tandem etc.) that will fit your build. I think that Freightliner is a little more flexible when it comes to custom orders, but...

Check out alcoawheels.com and also look at fljing j's truck stop site for more info. PHELPS
