Any suggestions on how to prepair the trim? Thanks for the paint info. Black is actually the color I was looking for.

I picked up some windows from the local RV salvage yard but they are a little scratched. Who makes the best paint for windows? I was told to scotchbrite the frames and use something like krylon paint. Anyone have any advise? Thanks

Thats what I figured considering that they are used in laptops.

Has anyone had any issues with the vibrations from the truck on the road? I am looking at getting an LCD TV/Monitor for my bedroom computer and was thinking about setting it up for mounting in the truck. Kirk

Just a few questions. I am looking at a truck that has a series 50 detroit engine. What kind of HP/Torque are they capable of? How are they are pulling hills? Its in a 33k GWV truck. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks ~Kirk

Yeah... I misunderstood what he was saying. Where did you get yours for under $3k? ~Kirk

spooner... how is the ram retained inside the ring (kept from sliding out the top)? This is exactly what I had in mind to do. Thanks for the pictures. ~Kirk

How many watt does the TV draw? You can pick-up a 1000w inverter pretty cheap that would run the TV or the microwave. You just have to make sure you have enough battery to run it. We are doing something similar to this. All the 110v plugs in the truck will be generator power on the top plug and...

I'll look into the Bigfoot kits. For me right now 8500 is pretty steep when for about 1000 installed I can have something that works just as well. The main thing I was looking for was ram placement. Does anyone have any close-up detailed pictures of the Bigfoot style jacks? I assume they work...

Thats basically what I was looking for. Personally I don't mind doing all the plumbing and using 1 central pump. I would with and service heavy equipment ever day so the hydraulic aspect isn't really a problem. From the looks of their website they bolt directly to the frame? Does the provide a...

I am looking for something I can build... I have all the fabrication facilities that I could ever need. I was thinking something out of aluminum that folds up inside the door or maybe hooks on the side of the truck. If you can find any pictures that would be greatly appreciated. I will try to...

I was wondering what people on here that have a truck with a floor that is 45+" off the ground did for entry stairs. I am trying to design something that is simple yet takes up very little room. Once again any pictures would be greatly appreciated. ~Kirk

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to use hydraulic rams to level/stabilize their large RVs. Right now the truck seems to sway alot when ever anyone moves around in the box. The truck (before conversion) weighs in at 18000#. Right now it has a lift gate on the back thats coming off but we...

They were 800 x 600 or 640 x 480 and between 50k-90k. That is why I couldn't figure out what was going on.

There are a lot of guys that have a F-250 and a toybox that haul their toys around to simple events or even organized trail rides where they give away simple trophies let alone $25 or $50 for winning some stupid contest. Thats considered a commercial enterprise and people are getting popped for...

Not sure how many if anyone here hauls any competition toys but just thought I would pass this on. "Found this on RDC http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15921 Anyone else hear of this BS. Makes me think twice before getting a 40' GN to tow the truck around in.... Found this...

Sorry but I can't figure out where to ask. I am trying to upload pictures but I keep getting this message: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 18388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9600 bytes) in /home/truck/truckconversion-www/photopost/image-inc.php on line 81 Anyone know what I am...

We have the same issue as you. We are just going to cut a hole in the side of the box and make a header for over the top. Probably have some 1/16" Z bar custom bent to make up a header and a rail along the bottom. We will probably weld it in becuse we can. The key is to make sure you keep the...

I am going through the same issue. I am converting a 28' moving van into a toy hauler / RV. Right now when you are inside the box it feels like you are in a dark prison. I have been looking at some tinted windows to cut down on the heat getting in. I found a place, Walt's RV in Fontana, CA (for...
