  1. Hi My name is Don and I have been lurking for awhile. I have a 08 Raptor, Toyhauler, Triple slider, with 12 foot garage, 16,500# loaded wt. Love It. I have been pulling it with my 07 GMC 2500HD 4x4. I was worried about the weight and legal issues. After consulting with many people and reading this forum, I decided to buy an HDT. Just before coming back to Iraq, I am a contractor flying over here, I bought a 96 Volvo WIA. It was already singled and has an RV 18K hitch. I am upgrading the Pin Box to an air ride Pin Box now and when I build the bed I will put a 32K air ride on then. I retired from the Army as a Blackhawk pilot in 96 and have been working in aviation since. The nice thing about this job is, I work 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off about 182 days a year. My wife got out of jail after 20 years and retired two years ago from the Cochise County Sheriff's Department. I plan on traveling to airshows, carshows, Horse events printing on T shirts during my time off. I can take a picture or make a graphic and put it on a shirt in less than 10 minutes. I can do one shirt or 500 shirts, I can't do 500 in 10 minutes. The equipment is portable and I can put it in the garage. My 96 Volvo had the Volvo engine removed and a Cat 3176B, if I remembered the number right, installed in it. It was done well and has 43,000 miles on the engine. As I said before it has been single by a shop and was being used for the last 4 years as a RV puller and sole vehicle for the owners. I hope I did not babble to much. Thanks, Don Wirthlin donwirthlin@gmail.com
