I was thinking more like 30 feet from behind the driver's seat, which probably makes the "box" 24'. (72" sleeper ?) Our 5er is 32 feet with one slide, but you lose a bit of volume/space in the bedroom. I want to run a single rear axle. Our 5er weighs 8500 empty. If you stripped off the axles...

The story about the ride was a good one. I started out asking questions about doing a HDT conversion, but the topic changed because I was told the ride wouldn't be what I wanted. From there I got into educating why I use an F250 to pull our 5er. The crux of my question has become how do I...

There should be some happy medium here. People seem to tell me that HDTs ride pretty well loaded with the stock spring rate. With a smaller load, reducing the spring rate should provide a similarly good ride with similar handling. I don't understand why a HDT conversion couldn't be made to...

I've been doing some reading on this site and others. An MCI 9 and other buses use what are called "air beams", at least on the front suspension. The air bags have open bottoms and are attached to a hollow but enclosed beam, dramatically increasing the air volume and thus softening the ride...

Thanks for the replies. Truthfully, I won't be very interested in doing a conversion if the ride and noise level isn't as good or better than my SD. I am pretty sure I could build a bus conversion that would ride as nice and be pretty quiet, at least up at the front. I keep coming back to...

Hi People. I'v been lurking here for a few days, trying to piece everything together in my mind for converting a HDT into a motorhome for RV travelling. I've got a ton of questions... A bit myself first... we presently have a 32' 5er we pull with a 2000 Ford F250SD diesel. We just returned...
