seems like it will be underpowered if you plan on towing much

Yea I was looking at my RV now and seing how they bolt together I dont see how they would work. My wall should be about 2 1/2" by the time its trimmed out so I will look for some new windows. The things I am interested in recycling would be hard parts generator, A/C, tanks, inverter. All these...

Do you have any pics of yours Andy?

looking good.

The more I look into MDT it just seems like a compromise for my application. I live in the hills and race in the valley after a long day or weekend at the track the last thing I wanna do is be slowing down going up the hills to get to my house, we have two long steep grades to get home. Plus...

Do you have any pics? Or more details on your truck sounds like what I want to do. What truck do you have? Whats your wheelbase and overhang to the rear? I had planned on getting one with a sleeper and converting that first amd registering it first. Did you single your truck?

The problem with all of those rigs is they have smaller boxes then I want. I want a 20' living space, I have a 18m old boy and another kid on the way so me and the wife have to have room for 4 and I dont want it cramped on her while at the track. Also I am looking for something that I can use as...

what i have seen on RJ in class 8 is over 100k and they are way to long. I am looking for something that is about 32' long bumper to bumper so I can tow a 28' stacker and remain under the length limit. I have looked into MDT and they seem ok but I might as well just do a P pumped cummins like in...

Yea I agree with trying to build it without lugging to much weight around. I have a 24' enclosed now and it only has 1" box on the sides and roof so your right 1 1/2" should be plenty with the same for the roof. I live in ca so there is no way I can make it to Indiana.y plan is to buy a class a...

So we're you going to put the 26 guage between the ground and the t&g floor? How far were you going to space the studs. Also what is your plans for the floor framing? Like width and materials. Thank Jason

How much overhang will you have? I will be towing a stacker trailer with 2 cars in it once I'm done with my project. So I am thinking I may need a little longer wheelbase due to the amount of tongue weight that I will have

Being an engineer what wall 1 1/2" would you run? I agree that would be heavy. And for the corners would you run 2" or just thicker 11/2"? Would you mind sharing you plan such as material specs for the floor And the walls and roof? Thanks

I just read his build thread and found that he has a 243" wheelbase tractor. That would work for me. I have no problem or concerns stretching the frame after the axles I was worried about doing t before the axles. Kenn's thread is everything I want to do and the older Pete's are reasonable to...

how many have done it? Do you just need the toilet,stove,refrig? I tried looking at their website but that was not informational. Thanks

I just went through the whole build thread so far and it looks great. a few questions for you. Why did you make the box removable? And what is the wheelbase and overall length of your truck? I am planning on a build and want a 20' box basically what you have and am trying to figure out how to...

Bob I saw that you tow a race trailer around how does the truck handle it with that much overhang? I am going with a bumper pull trailer. Do you ever wish you had twin drive axles? Also do you know your gross weight?

Do you guys have any pics of how the other companys are doing it? It seems from what I have found class 8 trucks arent available with a long wheelbase. By that I mean I want to have a 20' box after the cab. I was thinking of using the same size C channel to extend the frame then getting a...

Hi I'm in the planning phase of what I hope will be my last motorhome. I have looked through most of the builds but have trouble finding detail on how you guys stretched the frame. What metal? Is it boxed? I am looking to build a single axle truck that has a 20' box on it as the living space. I...
