Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
For those interested in such things here are some links to our new RV hauler.
It is a 2009 Volvo 780 with I Shift transmission. This is a 2-pedal setup - no clutch. The truck has a 77" condo with workstation (dinette to RVers), a Webasto heater for heat when the truck is not running, a refrigerator, microwave, 3000 watt inverter, shore power, PressurePro came with it.
For an engine it is the Volvo D16 (16 liter) set at 535hp/2000 lb/ft of torque. So it will pull :)
The truck has been singled in preparation for the hauler body that will allow us to carry a smart car on deck. The hauler body will be built in TX by Larry Herrrin.
You can see videos of the entire build process here. There are about 25 videos, showing the aquisition process, and the singling, etc. Mostly for those curious about these trucks. If you are looking for a turnkey truck like mine then this is the best place to find one. IMO.
Any questions, just post and I will be happy to answer them.
