(1) What is the ideal distance from the back of a conversion (toter) to the center of a gooseneck ball? I'm towing a 102" wide trailer and the gooseneck is even with the front of the trialer. I believe I read a past post that indicated 55" to be correct. (2) Is there an alternative to 3M...

Hi Marshall, Glad to see other drag racers come onboard. If you have not done so, check out the "Commercial Legal Questions" post in this forum. Since your toter is registered as an RV, you should not need a CDL and DOT Physcial nor have to complie with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety...

Hey Wick, Kaye Rivercity: Glad to see others joining the conversation! Both of you have raised very good points. Wick I agree with you. While licensing my truck and trailer, I spoke to the DOT Directors of WV, VA, NC, SC, TN, OH, PA, KY and MD. I also spoke to several DOT and State...

Mike, Glad to point you in the right direction. However, this is only the begining. As you will soon figure out,if you don't already know, there are many governmental agencies, both state and federal, that are going to want a piece of your action, i.e., tax dollars from the money your...

Mike, What gets you into having to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations ("FMCSR") is your intended use of the vehicle for a "commercial purpose." There is a provision in 49 CFR 390.3(f)(3)and its interpretation that exempts "individuals" from having to comply with the...

Warpath- I knew that would put your mind at ease, even if just a little. The guy who bought her owns a couple of bodyshops in the area and everything he has is in like new condition. I know for a fact that he has already taken her for her first checkup and has bought her a new pair of shoes...

Hey guys, I didn't mean to start a keayboard kung fu match going here, just looking for some "friendly" adivse. Anyway, just back for Louisville. The show was great as usual and I piked up some ideas and information. Kingsley had two conversions there on display, one with a garage and...

Hey Spooner I figured you would come knocking on the door. Something about a Pete just draws a crowd. I've seen the pictures of your conversion and have always thought a high rise sleeper could be stretched to make a conversion. Keep posting your progess so as to motivate me to keep...

Thanks for the replies. After submiting this post, I contacted the shop that I'm considering have build the box and spoke to one of the employees who helped build the past conversions. As for construction and design, the shop constructs utility bodies for trucks and custom built trailers...

I'm a long time follower and first time contributor of this forum. It has been a wealth of information. I have a 1990 379 extended hood Pete that I use to pull a 2000 48' Cargo Mate Eliminator living quarters trailer. I got the trailer for less than the manufacturer's cost to build it when...
