Stickman81 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Awesome pictures! Thanks for taking the time to post those. It was neat to be able to see so many different trucks and versions of beds. Thanks! Jim Noob entertaining the idea of an HDT and 5'ver. I like big trucks and I cannot lie...

ms60ocb Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Great Pictures, Thanks for sharing. I liked all the truck pictures.

leavingsoon Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Great pictures, thanks for sharing them. I was hoping and planning to come to the rally but it just didn't work out this year....sure looks like it was a fun time....maybe next year. I know it's probably just a matter of time that I will want to move up from my MDT so I am always interested in seeing and learning what will work best for me. The pictures are wonderful for getting a better understanding of what the wheelbase looks like when singled. Can someone point out a couple of the trucks singled short? And singled middle? Thanks! 2000 American Coach Heritage 45' motorhome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pictures 113-121 are short and a good example of mid would be 27. It seem most of the mid ones have beds and a lot of the short ones are without.

My truck is 133-135 with the Motorcycle Lift on the back. I'm probably one of the shorter trucks at 184" WB.

Nigel Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Dan I thought of yours and some other 610s but couldn’t see a 610 singled mid for the comparison. I personally like the look of a short wb 610. Nigel 2006 Volvo VNL 430, 2006 smart cabrio cdi, 2000 Triple E Topaz 30' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Nigel, Here is my former 610 singled short. Wheelbase is 182".

leavingsoon Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks guys....very helpful I am leaning more toward a short WB simply because our Teton trailer is so long already and I want to have the freedom to get into tighter spots when necessary. Even our present location was difficult enough for a Ford LBCC with 172" WB. I like the option of hauling a motorcycle behind the sleeper but don't think we would ever want or need a car. When I saw the truck in pics #53/113/114/115 I got the feeling it was a shorty Phil 2000 American Coach Heritage 45' motorhome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 There are some pictures on Gregg’s site from a couple of years ago when it was for sale. If the link doesn’t work look on the rvhaulers.ca and go back four or five pages on his in stock trucks.
