The size of my proposed trailer keeps getting bigger and heavier, so the more I get into this design the more it looks like I'll need something like a HDT such as a Volvo 780 with a 450 HP engine. There's a few 780's with the condo sleeper at a local dealer I can look at this week.

So the question will be do I get a puller like a 780 with a stock condo sleeper, or convert a daycab HDT into a Toterhome for a more comfortable gig. Since I spend 100 plus nights a year on the road (all currently in hotels) I'm looking for a pull vehicle that make my gigs a little easier. The fuel milage issue is a minor one since there's a serious budget to get this done... the most important thing is that I arrive safely and rested.

So what's the best brand chassis to convert into a short-RV toter? And remember this will need a heavy-duty 5th wheel hitch pulling a very LOOOOONG trailer.
