Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler

I would of worked with that if I found it first and was in may area. Cause I did cut three foot of frame off of back of truck. So I did have room.

I think it said 62 inch. Not sure about ammenities. They usually are just a bunk and some closets. Some will have a mini fridge and a small pull out desk shelf. I'm not as familiar with Western Star as I am with Freightliner, KW, or Peterbilt.

Hey Voltage

How big is that sleeper?

Any amenities?

I wonder how a Western Star sleeper would have looked on that truck? They have a rounded, less square look to them. Might have matched the rounded sides of the cab. Found this one for $600.

Send me PM where this is located. Thanks.

The guys over on the Escapees HDT board, have spent a lot of time doing the math and researching the statutes regarding MHs, RVs, Titling, and class of Operator's License needed.

Do watch your front axle weight. That engine and tranny weigh a Bunch. And you've only got 12K to work with on the front. Might even want to scale it before the build and keep track of weight added, it you can. I'm still wondering what the cruising speed is with that gearbox. It'd take a pretty wide spread to get to 70mph, I'm thinking. But I haven't done the math either.

Looing forward to seeing the 'finished' product.:D

It's a real eye opener to see what's happened elsewhere to suppress the 'Lower'/'working' classes.

This kind of enforcement goes back to the question of "safety". Can Anyone remember having voted for a 'Speed Limit'? And who decided what was 'safe' and acceptable, and what wasn't?

This type of situation is why I always suggest the course you've taken with the Class 7 truck. They will have less to complain about if take off stuff rather than add, to solve a problem.

You want to really make them unhappy? Use a class 8 with tandems for a 'Daily Driver'. Registered as an RV or MH, it'll make them scratch their heads when they stop you.

You are in my head. That is exactly my plans to make truck RV. Great minds think alike. :)

Didnt think i would post on this tread. But, did you know/ have an idea if you would be able to street legal the 3 axle dodge?

No. I just did it cause this is America. Land of the free to do with in reason.

It's not the America that I spent 20 plus years defending. Too many Commies nowadays

After looking at the picture showing your hitch installed, I was wondering if it might be a little too close to the sleeper. It might just be the angle but it looked like you might have a clearance problem.
