bobsallyh Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't know if you HDTers saw it but there is a short article in the November 2015 MotorHome magazine about Gregg by Alan Rider. I can't bring the article up since I don't subscribe. www.motorhome .com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Heiser Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I met Alan at a campground in Redding CA last year (the same weekend I met CrazyCooter). He struck up a conversation with me because he was interested in the HDT. He had never seen an HDT pulling a 5er before and he was intrigued. I filled him up with lots of information and pointed him to Gregg's and Jack's websites to get more. He told me he was going to try and sell his editor on a story. I'm glad he got it published. I tried to get him to come to the first West Coast Rally, but he already had plans for the weekend that he couldn't change. I'll have to email him and see if he can provide a link to the story to share here. On edit, I just sent him an email. I'll post any information I get. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Congrats to Gregg. He volunteers a lot of time, effort and information to our way of doing things. I for one appreciate our commercial enterprises like Gregg, Henry, David and some others who strive to help improve our way of doing things rather than just wanting to show up for a day at a rally, sell a product and then be gone. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Chad Heiser Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I heard from Alan and he sent me a copy of the article he wrote. The file is a PDFs that is 103 KB so I can't attach it directly to the thread (thanks to the 100 KB site limit). I am on my iPad currently, so I am having trouble creating links. When I get in front of a computer later this afternoon, I should be able to get a link attached so everyone can view it. Alan said the article only appeared in the printed version of the magazine because he did not sell them the digital rights. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Heiser Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Alan is a nice guy and he has definitely been bitten by the HDT bug. We have struck up a friendship since our initial meeting last year. He would really like to get one for himself. I don't know if he will ever pull the trigger, but he is dreaming about it. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsallyh Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Cathy and Jim, your welcome. Sort of funny how this subject came up. While walking with my walking buddy who is a motorhomer, he said I'll give you my Motorhome magazine as there is an article in it about a guy that converts truck in Canada, but couldn't remember his name. As I always read the HDT heading on here, I said "how about Gregg in Calgary, Alberta". Of course I couldn't think of Shields at the moment. But he said "that is the guy".

HERO Maker Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 One of our motorhome nieghbors came walkin up to me last night to show me the mag as well. I said yea, we know that truck, and Gregg is a great guy! He looked amazed!
