    How to prevent a rig from catching on fire questions.

    Bill, I can't imagine why people are afraid of the truth. I as you can see, I suggested that the conversation be taken off line. But since you brought it out into this forum again, I have two Engineers reports, pictures, and a report from the fire department. Everybody considering a conversion...

    How to prevent a rig from catching on fire questions.

    The Kingsley that burned was mine. If you have specific questions that I could answer, send me a private message with your e-mail.

    West Coast dealers

    I had a garage coach and I carried a Mini Cooper, a 427 Cobra, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 911 race car and a Porsche 996. One at a time. I never once had any smell of gas or any odors in the coach. I had the bed (real queen size)over the hood of the car. I also had a lift to put the car in. Send me...

    Windows in sleeper section of truck questions.

    Generally, the problem has been flat windows and curved walls. The inner framing on the sleeper also makes installation a problem. I can't decide if the limited cross section is better than a full box or not. It looks nice to have the smooth transition, but I'd rather have a full 8X8 ft cross...

    Triton Chassis with Frame

    Here are the last picts that I got, Some things are becoming obvious, I saw generator being mounted under passenger seat under the volvo fairing. Generator looked big. Leveling jacks look to be frame mounted at the front, but mounted outboard near the edge of the coach at the front of the...

    Triton Frame in progress

    Here are some shots I got of the Triton Coach frame. I was told that the roof that is laying on the ground will have a recessed well in it to hold the AC units. The slide outs look to be upside down, or they have windows at knee level. The welder on the project said that only about half of the...

    I got an E-Mal back from Triton.

    5erFool and I have gotten E-Mail back from them. I never spoke to them, just the guys building the body. The truck is in Lake Park, FL. At least it was on the day after mothers day when I got those pictures. They did send me a E-Mail, so I know it works. Tritonmotorcoach@att.net

    I got an E-Mal back from Triton.

    I actually did ask how high and long it was when I sent my E-Mail, they said 12' 10" at the satelite and 45' long. Weight was around 38-40,000 lbs, 52,000GVW. I wish I had the money. On the other hand, Plenty of PREVOST sell for 1.5-2.0MM. This is a million less, these numbers are making me...

    Replacing Carpet

    I did it with tile, not hardwood. It was not a problem. In my case, the tile was thinner than the carpet. I guess you might get some interference if it was the other way around. After I was done, I put a wiper of felt under the edge to keep crap out from under the slide. I think it actually...

    I got an E-Mal back from Triton.

    I sent an E-Mail to that link for Triton Motorcoach. I got a response, and they did confirm that they are just starting up. They apparently had some orders (two) they said, and they tried to get Kingsley to build them as one of their shells, but they could not get the construction they wanted...

    Triton spyshots

    I finally got some pictures of that coach I saw being built. They got a little annoyed at my taking pictures, but I was on the outside of the fence.

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    Kaye Rivercity, good point on the sign, It should read: "Anybody climbing on the roof will be shot, survivors will be shot again..." LOL

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    Bill, I don't believe that your construction is standard Kingsley construction. Does the 5+" thick roof cut down on your head room? Perhaps you could get Kingsley to comment directly. In the Kingsley section, I believe there is a detailed description of their standard and "custom" construction...

    Apparently it is just an E-Mail and not a page, I'll send them an E-Mail and see what comes back.

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    Got some more info. I know the price makes you think of bus glitz, but I think this may be different. Apparently some yacht and private jet interior designer is doing the interior. Function and class, not glitz. The truck has a Cummins 475 ISX with a 12 sp Meritor. Rear frame looks very tough...

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    Forget about being on the edge with 70 people, what about feeding them! As far as Triton, They apparently are building a real high end conversion. What I know so far, they have a 2004 Volvo 780 Stretched and at a company that builds Fire and Rescue vehicles. The unit has three slides, will...

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    Does anybody know how much weight a Show Hauler can hold on its roof. How much per sq.ft? When they tested it what was the rating? I know Kingsley doesn't let more than three employees on the roof at any time just in case the roof will distort. I know that Triton Motorcoach rates their roof at...
