My 99 Rex haul ford chassis would not seem to charge chassis battery but then it seemed to start. Were full timing now and I notice more than before. But just the other day the chassis battery went dead while plugged in. I charged it up and now I notice what I think is the battery parallel solenoid cycling on and off. It does not do it all the time. Is that how it charges the chassis battery by activating the battery solenoid?Odessa Industries overlandDoes anyone have any information about Odessa industries motorhomes. I am looking at a overland 35 diesel pusher on an Oshkosh and I am trying to find any information possible. I know they were building on and off up till about 2001. I am impressed with the pictures so far. Very nice rig. Air ride, cummins 8.3. Joe1992 spartan chassis, Coachmen MH. Any words of wisdom???Looking at a 92 Coachmen Class A on a Spartan Chassis, Diesel pusher. Needs some work but done that before. Not as familiar with the Spartan chassis except that some of our fire trucks are on them. The cummins I am familiar with and some of its issues but looking for any other input. Thanks JoeRe: Driveable vs towable for x country tripPretty sure we have decided on a class c about 30 feet and we will be towing a toad. Currently have the 1987 34 class a on a p30 and found a 1996 31 foot tioga c on a p30 chassis. Like the layout and plan a few modifications but the question is the difference between 87 and 96 p30. Is there any? Also is the ride different on that chassis when comparing an A to a C and the shorter length. I like the idea of the p30 due to load capacity over a stretched ford or chev chassis.Driveable vs towable for x country tripWe are trying to weigh the pros and cons of the different types of rv for a 2 or 3 month cross country tour. We currently have a class a but have also owned a c and stayed in a 5th wheel on occasion. All have different perks but whats your thoughts for a long trip through unfamiliar territory. We also don't mind dry camping along the way. We are leaning toward a midsize C but not sure if we want to tow a car but that seems like a necessity especially after recent camping in Provincetown where you can't even drive a full size pickup through some of their streets.
