  1. Hello All, I think I am going to put my rig up for sale. I have a job change starting in December and I likely won't be able to take it with us. Unless I get a storage site. And who wants to do that? Anyway, it's a 2010 Volvo 780. I have put quite a bit of work into it. It has a new clutch, new brakes all around, new air dryer, overhead set, new tie-rod ends, drag link, alignment, about a half dozen engine sensors, new cushions for the workstation, cab turn signals and more. It drives really well considering it has 904,000 miles. I just got to the point where I was going to start converting it over to pull a RV fth wheel. It has a Cummins ISX 15. I have the Insite software and have done all available tests with it. Everything passes. I can print out the results, and probably will, for any potential buyers. Bonus, tanks are always full. And that ain't cheap to fill 250 gallons. If anyone knows of someone looking, I will be taking some photos soon as I can and posting them here. I am likely going to list it on truck trader as well. It may be a couple weeks though due to a busy schedule ahead. Happy trails. Chuck
  2. There are several different manufacturers of 12v A/C systems that can be installed. They are about 900$. I don't know if that would be a route worth considering?
  3. Awesome, thanks. I am definitely going to check into it some more.
  4. Awesome, thanks for the information Chad. is this something we could use at the house when we are not traveling and then pack it up and take it with us while on the road? our current wifi service is pretty much useless while the leaves are on the trees. And then it’s still questionable when the leaves have fallen.
  5. Took my rig in for a DOT/State inspection at the dealer. It was on the way home. They failed me for the right turn signal on the sleeper for having water in it. The ones I ordered hadn't come in yet. And they failed the 5th wheel for the right bushing being out of tolerance. Even though they passed it last year. Oh well. Turn signals took 5 minutes a side to replace. Not so sure I am going to fix something I don't intend to use. I just need to remove it. Is there anything that needs to be done after removing the 5th wheel? Like putting a plate on it for frame support?
  6. That's awesome. I could have used that a week or two ago when a fellow from D.C. tried running into my driver side steer.
  7. He did say something about going through Verizon, AT&T etc….
  8. I recently heard about Insty Connect WiFi, portable. The owner swears it works anywhere. I was wondering if anyone here has tried it?
  9. So, a good number of the campgrounds we’ve been to are packed in close together. They are ok but not completely relaxing. I would prefer a place that is a lot more spread out. How about you all? 1. Typical sites close together? Or 2. A more private place with sites spread out where you can relax?
  10. Got it out on the road. It’s running great. I had to reset the code in the advance section of the Cummins Insite. I did a parked regen and it was done in 33 minutes. the only thing that I messed up was putting the differential pressure tubes on backwards. It gave me a 1993 code. Once I put the lines in the right place it cleared itself. Happy camping!
