Tackleberry Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) After years of dreaming, and a lot of back and forth, I finally found my perfect HDT. 2000 VNL 770 Cummins N14 708K on clock It was converted from commercial service 17 years ago. I think it is singled mid. 10 Speed Eaton Auto-shift 50 gallon fresh water tank 50 gallon waste tote goes on bed (with macerator) Rampage motorcycle lift on bed Herrin Bed Had to fly from NY to Dallas to get her, but Large Marge is now home with us. We even took her for an inaugural tow yesterday to see how it felt. I could hardly tell the trailer was there at all. Leaps and bounds better towing than my F350 (7.3L). Can't wait to taker her to Hershey Park next month (5 hour trip). Oil changed, a few leaks fixed, 6 new Toyo tires (ouch$) Now we can finally come to a rally! https://photos.app.goo.gl/m3EAfo27SuEe7Pqx8 Edited October 17, 2022 by Tackleberry Quote Hal from Long Island 2000 Volvo 770, Cummings N14, 10 Speed Eaton Auto-Shift 2016 XLR Thunderbolt 420 AMP Toy Hauler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Heiser Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Congratulations. That is a similar setup and vintage to my rig (although mine is a Kenworth). You should enjoy it. By the way, you didn’t have to buy a truck before you could attend a rally. We still let LGT owners come and park in the back. 😜 Quote 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...

Vegas Teacher Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Congratulations! I remember my search and going to get it! It is a great feeling. I am still getting mine fixed up and doing all kinds of improvements on it. Many on the website have given me good advice, one parcel of which was remember it is a marathon not a race.
