Thanks, yes any help I can get would be helpful. Did you convert yours to an RV title or just register it as a truck and pay the higher fees. I have heard of a few shops in my area, south eastern pa, that have had some customers go through the conversation and the state shuts them down. Seems like a lot of work and money if I'm going to end up just paying the truck Registration fee.

Ours is registered as a private truck, it has to be done manually on a paper form and yes the fee is a pain in the backside. I have contacted the PA legislature, the Transportation Committee, but no one else wants to contact them to see if we can get this changed. I mean other states do the RV title.

This year we will not be able to attend. Our current plan is to return next year.

I did a search and did not find this topic.

Has anyone done this ? I got a check engine fault the other day. Looking online, it is the def dosing nozzle, probably crystallized. Any one have this issue happen to them ?

I can't help you with that "rain" thing but you know how to solve that "dark" problem, don't you?

Yes but I believe Sondra and Dave K purchased all the RV lights in the country for their trailer.

Northern Tool has plastic fenders that fit a tandem.

Fresh off the ECR and I'm currently considering a 2015 Volvo 730.  Specs are 622k miles, has I Shift with 2.64 gear and Overdrive.  D13 Engine.  No APU.  

Transmission and Turbo were replaced last year.  Is this normal or indicative of abnormal wear and tear? 

The plan would be to single it and add a bed later and make it a Hauler.  Cost is $47,500.  

My gut tells me it's an okay deal, but not great.  I'm thinking we can do better, am I crazy or realistic? 

If we took the the next step, we would request a dyno test and a fluid test.  I also would look into the Provenance, if available. 

Thoughts?   

Ours is a 2012 730, D13 with 650000 miles on it and we paid right around 35K for it.  Ask if an overhead was done on it, that checks the sleeves and pistons, cost about 1500 dollars to do. Do they have the maintenance records ?

There are going to be a lot of them coming on the market as the fleets start to upgrade to the Gen 3's this year.

You are one hell of a photographer, Chris!

Well thank you, I appreciate the compliment. Can't wait to get back to shooting some air shows. Maybe this year again, as I love to do so.

I also have my photo's online on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/Chris-Bowmans-Photography-Page-1366704666746476/

Well this morning we had to leave ECR 😂. That thing called life, well just some things I have to tend to. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, got to see some friends from last year, and meet some new people this year. We wish we could have stayed the rest of the week. Everyone else when you head out this week, be careful and safe travels. See if I can get some pictures up.

Ours has a lock that screws in to the middle of the doors and the freezer drawer. It is a plastic know with a plastic flat piece to hold everything, with threads on the end. Is a socket screwed on the fridge that it threads in to.

Ours is a Samsung Residential Fridge

First trip out with the big truck?

 

Yes it was. We went to Gulf State Park in Alabama. Stopped in Fort Chiswell and Gadsden Alabama on the way down, and Seiverville, TN on the way back. I am beat and back to work in the morning. Also had to put our dog down the day before the trip, so been a tough week.
