Hello i'm new here and heres some pics of what i'm building.(Yes i know its a monstrosity),.but its payed for and its what i had laying around

 

[volvoman]

what engine and transmission? how did you mount camper? how do you get in to camper? kind of high up? air or spring ride on rear?

 

[crash1-TC]

Its a 290 Cummings and a 10 speed,I put it up there with a loader,Its not done yet i have to pannel the cab into the trailer and build a hall way into it,its at 13 feet 11 inches,and its 4 leaf on the rear.Its smooth riding.the bottom is all storage.so it will hold the stairs for the side door.

Crash, welcome, i like it, is it 13ft 11 in height? keep us posted, that is one creative challenge, Gene

I think you should get one of those doors from an airplane with a big inflateable slide for emergencies. I like the truck tho, that's cool.

 

[volvoman]

you better check height limits? i'm sure limit is 13' 6".

 

[crash1-TC]

to late theres no turning back now,(lol) and its set at 13.11

 

[Dodger-TC]

I love it! I can not wait to see more pics of it. I need to get some of my project up.

 

[volvoman]

you better watch every over pass height posting. we have seen tow trucks towing straight trucks backwards. after the box hits overpass it's not pretty.

 

[crash1-TC]

true i will be watching all of them,but in WA and i believe 90% of the west coast 14 feet is the law and any thing i hit below that i am not responsible for,but it will cause damage to me.

Along with overpasses you better keep an eye out for overhead wires ! If you hit anything overhead it is your fault and your insurance company may refuse to pay for any damage done by you...

I think he's fine. He said it's 13.1' didn't he? That's 13' 1.5" or so, isn't it? 13'6" is no problem so he's under that. Unless I read it wrong and he's 13' 11",, that might be a bit high.

 

[crash1-TC]

The roof vents are the things at 13.11 but the main roof is 13.7

 

[blackf3504dr]

At 13'7" you won't have many problems, but 13'11" you will. I just don't want to hear that you wiped out some electric/phone lines and ripped them off the house(s), that could be expensive! The national hight limit for vehicles is 13'6" but I know many air ride trailers that ride at 13'8" empty.
