Gary, really like your rig,I have a 28 ft c on an e350 with extensive water damage . Upon the rebuild I plan on wacking some off the back to bring it down to 24 ft. for years now have been researching a4x4 conversion and u joint would be my choice, one hang up has been keeping within my gvwr of 12500 as the conversion would add about 800 lbs. Any idea what your rig weighs comfortably loaded with full tank of fuel? Thanks .

I haven't got a clue what it weighs. Do I care...welll...yes and no. I have over-done springs fore and aft and air-shocks and biggest tires I can put on..and they look puny..but tires shops have been consulted and what I have it what I am supposed to have.

If you are going to go the U-Joint route let me know and I will put you in touch with a guy that used their kit. He loves it but no doubt he could share some 'secrets'.

I used an Aluminess bumper..that is less than 1/2 of the weight of steel...mind you the winch brings it right back again. The underside (rear) is armour plated so that I don't rip the guts out when I grind thru a creek bed or whatever. I can send you pix of you like.

Mine is not a low centre of gravity rig..as you can see. With the lift kit it looks more ike a threat than an RV. I love it!
