phoenix2013 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Couple more "visitors" came to Paradise Central this week. This one is Volvo's answer to Sport Chassis. I-shift, 11 L engine and 19.5 inch tires. And its bigger brother. This one came from Gregg Shields' stable with Larry Herron's rear end, fronting a gorgeous 46 foot 33,740 lb Continental Coach.

phoenix2013 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Glad to see that Ken made it. Hopefully things went smoothly. It did, you will recognize the process, first the 13,500 lb air bag. Ken did provide substantial manual labor. Super Binkley topped it off. Before they left in the morning, Davena and I got an evening tour of their rig. Magnificent in the understated elegance. I understand you "studied" it in detail too. .

KenL Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Cindy and I were blessed with Henry and Davena's warm hospitality this week and yes the upgrade went very well. It was really a treat and education spending time with Henry and Tom working on the upgrade and we appreciate all the hard effort they put into their work. Thanks Jack for your concern and persistence with our weight. Very much appreciated. 2009 Volvo 780 with Herrin Hauler Bed 2015 Continental Coach 2017 Smart Car Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Henry, I'll bet it was "tricky" getting that 45' monster into your driveway. Ken, glad you are "fixed up". Hopefully we will run into you this winter. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

jkennell Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 WOW! That is one lovely rig. I think it would be a vacation just to stay in that thing...wouldn't have to go anywhere. Maybe that's what I need... No camper at present. Way too many farm machines to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
