I'm researching building my own trailer conversion with a lift. I will have to follow this post to see if someone has info on them.

I was looking at some trucks in Truck Paper and was curious to find out what the avg. going rate was for an in frame rebuild. Now, I know it depends on the engine make and model, locale, various labor rates. I've been in the automotive industry for years, and understand all of those things, lol...

I have definitely thought this over, and I think all the slides, except the bed slide, would be 24" or less deep, just for the reasons you stated. I figure that if I had at least 4' of open floor in the main living area, then it would feel too cramped while WM camping, or similar. As long as the...

I tried searching the forums, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. So, how have some of you constructed your basement doors? How did you build the opening? Dimensions of materials for both? What locks/latches/etc. did you use and how was it mounted? Did you do round or square corners...

I'm only in the planning stages. Haven't built my T/C yet, just researching all of my parts and options. Besides, it's easier to reach me by message on the forum or by email, because of my work schedule.

The number for Lippert is 1-574-312-6850.

You can get almost any depth you want, but this depends on the material you build your slide with. With mine, it was suggested to only go 18-22" on two that were about 13' long, and I could get up to 25" on my two that were 10' and 8', and using steel for the framework. But if I use aluminum, I...

So, I emailed LCI about the slide outs. In a nutshell, everything will run about $700 each slide. There are limitations on the size and weight of the slides if built with steel, but if built with aluminum, you can have a pretty big slide.

I've been researching various types of slide outs and the Schwintek set-up looks very appealing, and I was wondering if anyone had installed these before. And if so, what was the cost of all required parts? Also, I watched the YouTube videos, but don't remember hearing what the weight or room...

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but I couldn't find an answer to a question I had. Anyhow, what is the typical thickness of the plywood substrate when using the rubber? And also, would you use the same for an aluminum roof, or just attach the aluminum to your framing?

Thanks! I wish I had $200k right now, then I would go that route, lol. But I have that number in my head, and could probably do everything for half that. But, I have been in the construction and automotive industries for a long time and know that stuff happens, so I doubled it for a fudge...

Hey everyone! I'm John, from SW Ohio. I have been interested in RVing and RV conversions for probably over 10-15 years. I hope to be able to build or buy my own T/C by the time I can retire, when the kids are off to college, in about 15 years. I wouldn't mind buying a finished T/C, but like...
