I just bought some from an RV salvage place (they had them new). This place has all kinds of stuff. http://www.rvdoctorgeorge.com/ Mike

I have a ramp door with lift gate on my trailer. Not quite the same as a conversion, but close. I also have an XB and am planning to take it with me sometimes. The trailer is used for motorcycle drag racing and associated equipment. I bought the lift from wildside trailers, they do not...

I had the same sort of box on a class 8 and hung cabinets without a problem. I used 1/2" plywood screwed to the slat board. that stuff is incredibly strong. then just hung the cabinets from the plywood. I think I also had a ledger board the underneath the length of the cabinet. I think with the...

I was recently at the DMV in the lovely state of California and thought I would pass this along. I was trying to get my old furniture trailer registered as a non-commercial trailer since it now has living quarters in it. They did not want to do it since it was 'originally designed' to haul...

Does anyone know where to get this industrial adhesive tape? do they have it at home depot or is this a specialty item from a body shop or soemthing? Can it be ordered on line? thanks, Mike

Here are some paint schemes passed onto me. I am told they are from Germany and are real. Although they have a photoshop quality about them, they are still pretty cool.

Haven't seen any posts from Kaye in over a month. Anybody heard from him?

There have been some posts regarding liftgates, here is part of the install for mine

I know this is not an HDT or MDT, but some people have to start somewhere. This one looks kind of interesting. Has a lot done already. Would be nice for dirtbikes, atv's, etc. Could easily have living quarters installed. http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/151398693.html Mike

Nice looking MDT for hauling fifthwheel, gooseneck. Sounds like a Motivated seller... http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/151354537.html Mike

Funny, that sounds like exactly what I am doing. I have an International 9400 that I am pulling an old Kentucky double drop trailer with. The first half of the trailer is living quarters and the back half with 2nd deck is for the toys and a shop. I am just now putting on the liftgate to get...

Anyone have a good source for windows? Like side windows, sliders with screens. I am looking for some that are about 20" width. thanks, Mike

Can you give me a little more specifics about what you have or will have? What exactly is your plan? Mike

I live in Ca and have done some research on this. As long as your conversion is a true motorhome, you will not have any problems. If you make it a toter and can still haul a semi trailer, then you will have to register as a commercial vehicle. All you need to do is schedule a vehicle inspection...

I talked with my mechanic about a week ago and he advised us that this is a good thing to do. He said to go ahead and dump veggie oil straight into the tank to mix with diesel. He said that it will actually be better for the engine especially with California Diesel, that it will gain power. He...

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/forsale/Detail.asp?O...48519A7DD04E4E529776 Mike

Here is a site that is a good start for looking into Biodiesel or straight vegetable oil. http://www.biofueloasis.com/html/basics.html Mike

Ok, it is not a truck conversion, but it seems like the right price. Has lots of possibilites. http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/121421080.html

This is classic. http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/116629211.html Check out the comments about why he is selling. It may explain a few things. Maybe someone can download the pics to the archive. Mike

It is this part of the law that I am questioning. We do not get compensation for transporting people or property. That is what I asked when I went to Cal DMV.They told me I was not commercial. But that was just one persons response. I will indeed check again. Thanks for the heads up. Mike

ok, so rather than guess if this thing can be serviced properly, I decided to go to the horse's mouth (sorry couldn't resist). I asked the seller if the cab still tilted up, here is his response: 'The cab no longer tilts up. I made the center section of the floor removable so that you can...

Question is really, what do you want to do with it? There are so many options and one will fit your needs. I am always on the freeway after I get to my destination. But my needs are different. I would not want to be limited to only local travel no matter where I went. What if you need a part to...

Anyone ever used PVC for plumbing in a conversion? There is currently some in my trailer and I am not sure of how well it will hold up after time and all the vibration. Seems like some sort of hose would be better suited. Mike

I am interested in comments about this type of rig. While not listed as a 'conversion', it has all the amenities. I am not sure about the contruction. I am not interested in the showy stuff inside, just about the box and how it is made. This is similar to other units I have found that have a...

Kevin, I am doing a furniture trailer van conversion right now. Matter of fact, I am going to do a shakedown run with it to the Harley races in Vegas this weekend and then afterward stay there for a week at a nice RV resort. Overall height is 13' 6". I won't be going to out of the way places...
