  1. Purchased a pre-owned '99 Teton Grand over a year ago and had nothing to pull it with. Late last summer I found a FLD120 on this forum and purchased it. I have yet to pull the Teton, but in April I will be pulling it to North Dakota for the summer. Perhaps I will make it to the HDT rally in October. I have been a full time traveler since 2001 using a 40' pusher motor home. Since I seem to set for a full season in one place, a 5ver seemed better suited to our needs.
  2. After driving big trucks over the road for a couple of years there was not much of a decision to make when it came to a truck to pull a 5th wheel RV. Only decision was what brand of 5th wheel rv to get. A tour of the Teton Homes plant had me hooked. That happened in 1999 while researching different rv lifestyles. However, a salesman at a RV dealership changed my mind from a 5th wheel to a diesel pusher motorhome. I have missed having the room a 5th wheel offers so. . . this past January I purchased a 39' Teton with intentions of leaving it parked on site in Quartzsite, AZ. Two weeks after that purchase I started looking for a Volvo VNL770. Many hous of searching the Internet followed. Some results brought me to this forum. I did find a nice VNL770 on this forum but could not get to an agreed to price. This past week I made a good find on a 2000 Volvo VNL770 with only 280,000 actual miles. It is now mine. Now I will be looking for ideas on what I should do to the truck. I will change the title from a class 8 truck to a motorhome. Checking with North Dakota's DOT it is a very easy process. I have talked to a custom truck builder and will be building a deck to cover the entire rear frame and will include full wrap fenders.
