Yes, the conversion from commercial truck to motor home requires no weight bearing hitch. Bumper pull hitch to comply and get approved.

When i was at Wisc DMV they said if i register my Volvo as a motorhome i could not haul 5th wheel only bumper pull 

 But they also said weight of motorhome is for registration. We dont care how much the camper / toyhauler trailer weighs. I found that interesting in Wisc.   Same license  plate as a class A B or C just different weight sticker. I brought this up before on the forum , but not much discussion. I have seen bumper pull trailers pass me and go up on 2 wheels (one side) but it was driver caused by driving like a maniac pulling the trailer.

We tongue pull because it is the law as a Florida state resident.

We load a Jeep Rubicon on the deck👍 

The law as a florida resident ?

We would never drop Passport America or Escapees  Joined PA 18 years ago with Ray (original owner) was alive.  We have used PA  with anything from pop up tent camper to our HDT. We make our own fun where ever we stay. Escapees is great too. We have no interest in the Social aspect of Escapees  Park connections are great. Use both and you will not regret it

Assistance on what type of  rv ? HDT MDT CLASS A VAN CAR ? They mostly all cover cars.

Much heavier than i thought they were. Converting it to RV puts you over the magic 26,000 lb mark. Im 18,000 loaded with clothing and food in the fridge. Without trailer

For those who still use CBs what channel do you use. I always used 19 but i read that RVers use 13 

I have 2001 . A good locksmith can make one and program it. They charge about 100.00

I got a few CB Radios etc with my Volvo. I used  CBs years ago. Does anyone still use them?  Seems like a good idea if more than on vehicle is traveling. Thanks 

The DMV here classes me as a class A and titled as truck with motorhome body. They also said i can bumper pull anything . But if i pull 5th wheel.it must be changed to truck not motorhome. I will double check with insurance. What does AAA say ? 

The one thing i dont like about Some Sites is that some members suddenly become know it alls and post down to people asking simple questions even name calling. Thats not what sites were established for.

I bet your train Horns are very popular with everyone when you let them go...........

Got a call from insurance agent, they want new pictures and a picture of registration. I thought they already had that. State Registration says Motorhome. We will see what insurance says. 

In order to make sleeper more comfortable, i removed the little closet on passenger side, added a stock used upper cabinet now i have upper cabinets on both drivers and passenger sides. Man good used ones are hard to find at a fair price

Wow, no lomger 25.00 for 4. K think 100.00 for 4 now. Has anyone purchased lately?

How did this event go ?

We play it by ear mostly. Pull in a place for first time about 330 pm ond day only, then jf we like it we stay another or return . Sometimes we just stay at a truck stop for the might and then move on.  Make the best of the experience of whereever you are and demand no expectations of amyone .  

Ok you take a HDT and title ot as a Motorhome

 My state says im a Class A now . A stand alone motorhome class A . I can bumper pull a trailer and still be a Class A. But if i pull a 5th Wheel im a non comercial truck.  Under 26,000 lbs. 

Looking for or recomendations of back up camera & tire pressure monitor. 

We have 4 Holiday Ramblers 1967 1974 1978 1984 1987 2001 uh oh i guess we have 6 love each of them. One stays in a park on west coast. 

Its not always money

 After a little 500 mile trip, i found my Volvo top plastic radiator tank was cracked and leaking. No problem. 100.00 part. 3 day delivery. It will be 2 weeks soon. UPS has it somewhere. 

Is there a lazy daze and holiday rambler forum on here?

I have read that Salvation Mountain has gotten a couple of offers to buy it.  Since the originator died, it seems that it isnt getting the same maintenance work and that area of the SW is pretty downtrodden, but yes, depends what interests you.  It is certainly a place where people live a different way.

Salton Sea seems to be getting some good things happening as mining for lithium batteries is gaining traction.  It would be nice to get some $ into the area so they can improve it some.  It is rather rural but not good that it is economically impoverished.

This year we spent about 45 minutes with the main guy there . He worked with the owner fir years before he died. They were dropping off about 60 buckets of paint. He mixes them to create colors close to what he needs. The structure is made of old tree branches and donated bales of hay. Some areas are closed as they are deteriorating. Mud and paint.over the hay. I was told the land on the whole place is owned by the state. There was one offer in the works to buy the whole place , but it fell thru. That would mean eviction and bulldozers. I just learned all this from the visit there. Very interesting
