I have a choice to make on pipe material. ABS or PVC?? for drain lines in a RV. This "RV" had been a F-700 truck. It rides much better tnow that it has a air bag rear suspension but it is still a moving vehicle that hits potholes every now and then. I see that all of the OEM that build RVs...

What insurance companys are out there that will keep their word?? Progressive? NO!! Safeco? Hell NO!! I'm looking for Stated value insurance for my F-700 Truck RV conversion. I got quote and paid my money, got insured last July went on vacation and today i was informed that they are...

I must admit i went from 41 tall tirs to 36.6 tall Low Pro tires at the same rime I did the gears. Any chance you need tire and get taller ones??

On some of the more modern window units there is a slinger that slings condensate water up onto the hot outside coils to help cool them more and cut down on the amount of water that drains out the back.

First thing you should do is go to the title office and see what the criteria is for converting a title to a RV, But then you should ask your self if it helps you to do that. Most every one here does it to get of of the federal/states government red tape that make our larger vehicles deemed...

Well I have my air ride axle installed and it rides like...a....DREAM!! (compared to the old springs) I can't believe the difference it has made in the reduction in harshness. It is now quite honestly about the same as most HD pickup trucks. I put a gauge in the air line just to be curious...

I did mine myself. cost me $307 for a set of 3.58 gears for my RR20-145 rear axle. paid a buddy of mine $100 to help me set them up right. It took me about 20 mins to make a bracket so i could mount the center casting on a engine stand. (Makes it much easier that wrestling that thing on the...

Well mine is quite different. Last year it had its stock Rear axle a 22.7K leaf spring rear axle. According to fors with a spring rate of 4000 lbsPER INCH And no shocks either. When I bought the trailer The previous owner towed it with his 1/2 ton truck. He told me it towed it best...

I don't think a 1000 Gal hot tub (about 8800 lbsloaded) would put a damper on your truck. My truck build is kinda odd. 10K front axle (empty weight 5500 lbs) My new air ride Rear axle is rated at 20K (curb weight about 8000 lbs right now) And this is just a single rear axle truck. So you can...

Congrats on starting your own home on wheels. Ifi read correctly in some of your other postings you were trying to figure out about toilet or not. The box conversion i did/doing (work in progress) Has no toilet or plumbing of any kind. since I am almost always staying in campgrounds that...

Thats the way to do it right there. I have those valves on everything I own except my Jeeps(they would get torn off if i did) . how much scratch did you save? I spend my DIY oil change savings on buying Synthetic oil for mine.

I will NOT put it on mine. I think it just draws unwanted attention to my RV. And I have a class B CDL. My RV is titled and insured as a RV. My CDL is for school buses and has Nothing to do with my "RV".

Don't go by looks (you know the whole book by it's cover thing) I happen to like the look of the vehicle. With the healthy overhang It will have bit more tail swing however it should turn quite tight and be easy to maneuver it you watch that tail. And a trailer will if not too long almost...

Well I found this axle and bought the suspension and all. For $125!! some new air bags and shocks and it should ride much better.

Here is the truck conversion "RV" I built on a budget. My F-700 RV/jeep transport build thread - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums good luck with your build

I have done 2 trips in my home built creation, and was wondering if a rear air ride would make it ride much better. I have found a 92 or so Freightliner OTR tractor that i can get the rear axle and suspension from. opinions??

Hot rod is correct. I got my "RV" titled today. very simple. Ohio BMV form #3804 for the title Ohio Bmv form #5712 for plates plate were $40 and good till my exp in Jan.

I have done it but only to gas engines. and I have only done it for myself on my own vehicles.

welcome to the site. I looked for 2 years to find the right truck to buy. found a 94 with only 107K on the clock Cummins six cyl and it runs like new. If you really look around you find what you want for for a real good price. my budget is 5% of yours. so far I am on target. Truck $2500, box...

Oh how I wish I could find a CNG conversion for my old Ford F-150 truck. (I have a gas well hooked to the house)

like the title of the thread says I need a typical RV door. with all that is tied to one. Hinge frame, latch, and door glass.

I think those trucks are a great idea to base one on. I myself am builing a Ford F-700 using a 24 foot uhaul box. Although I am gonna use ramps for my Jeep Wrangler. There are many people using the uhaul trucks for this. Of course the uhauls as are most MDTs are not geared great for open...
