Oh my, Scrap! It BEAUTIFUL!

Welcome to the forum! Keep us posted on the progress of the search......

It looks like the welcoming committee is still in Retama, lounging around...............

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Phil,

I was starting to think that I was the only one on the welcome committee..........we wouldn't want that, I aint much of a poster boy.

Unrelated, is it cold there yet?

What program did you use to do those? I really like them.

I argue a lot with RV parks, but I always win! I love being told I can't do something, really brings out the kid in me! My take on it is,

if you are proficient enough to put your combo anywhere you want it, then there is no trouble finding a place to stay. I find that most

smaller parks are set up for a 38' trailer as a BIG model and spots can be tricky. Walk first unless you can back out the way you came,

is a pretty good rule.

I seen a rig like your sig the other day on I-24 in TN, wasn't you was it?

Welcome to the Forum!

Do a search on posts from " mrsarver " and you will find a truck with a similar purpose to what you are describing. Good Luck!

dee,

welcome to the forum! Your 10k price range is not unreasonable if you are like me and pull your sleeper behind you! Look carefully

and be sure to check out Jacks and Marks websites that are in their signature line. If I get our 5er sold I may offer up my FL for sale

if it doesn't go with the 5er and it would be close to your price range. Good Luck.

Brian,

Thats my favorite engine and transmission! I like Paccar trucks too. Congratulations!

We have migrated to Troy, MO and hopefully going to be here for awhile.

Doug M,

CAT is not going anywhere, they are just no longer selling *NEW*truck engines. Their truck shops will not close just because they are

out of the truck engine market, they make more money selling parts anyway. Furthermore the "truck" engines are used in their equipment,

so I wouldn't get discouraged with CATERPILLAR just yet.

Welcome to the forum! If the search feature doesn't lead you to the info you are looking for just ask and you will get some really educated guesses!

When you figure out what you want I am sure you can find a drive out ready truck, there are plenty of them for sale.

Well we headed out of Montana on Thursday. Made it about 150mi then stopped in a rest area for replacing the pins on the towbar and

a light duty welding repair to my bumper from a previous mishap. Then traveled on to Albany,MN to spend the night. Almost made 590mi

for the day.

Friday we left Albany,MN and made it almost out of the Twin cities when our accident occurred, we then drove on to Tuscola, IL making a little over

620mi for the day.

Today we are having a "Jack" day we gathered up out FL112 and 5er in Tuscola and made it to Benton, IL making a whopping 142mi for today.

We now have some "Plumbing" issues with the 5er so we are enjoying another "Suite" night.

Tomorrow we will make it to the I-24 campground in Smyrna, TN where we will stay for 1 month and I have a long honey-do list on our 5er

to take care of BEFORE the DW will let me work.

Welcome to the forum! That London Aire sure is a load for a 3/4 ton Goat! There are a few members here who visit the

truck shows and I am sure that they will chime in. Feel free to ask any and ALL the questions no matter how insignificant

you may think they are, you WILL get an answer. Do you have any idea what you may be looking for? Start a thread and lets find out

So I take you made it the "Village of the Discriminatory Old Dudes" ? (Notice there is NO reference to the young ladies accompanying the "Old Dudes, as

I have no wish to even begin to delve in the myriad of commentary that would ensue from such an atrocity. )
