I got back from Show Hauler last night and I can only say that Lonnie and the staff treated me like i was the only customer that they had. They seem to go above and beyond the call.
I really wish I had more than a few hours to spend looking around. I thought we had made all the changes to the unit that we wanted but,..... seeing all the other coaches and designs makes me think. Anyway the coach will look like the t2000 on the cover excapt for the paint job and the fact that it will be a freightliner. Jason at Quadra was very nice as well and very helpful. We are going to go with some type of graphics package but are unsure just yet what it will be. Now that they are doing all the interior work "in house" it will be interesting to see the finished product. I sae several in the final stages and they looked absolutely great. I have been known to be a perfectionist and have been really satisfied with Show Hauler. I got some pictures of the truck before it was painted and now after so that I can post when I figure out how to get them out of the camera and on the website. I really had wanted to keep the sleeper A/C and heater unit but we could not get the couch in the sleeper on the passenger side with it in there. I may try and mount it underneath and duct it in to the existing sleeper duct.
I also do not have fairings on this truck and asked Lonnie if he could make some boxes to go under that area of the sleeper to match the Show Hauler box. Maybe they can add them to the box before they mount it. We now have to choose our flooring.....Too many choices. The tile look alike looks very nice. Has anyone else had any experiences with it? We also choose to do the vinyl ceiling and walls. I saw a few that way and it looked very good.

Lonnie showed me a Peterbilt that had been there for I believe over 2 years waiting on the owner to decide what to do with it.....Do you know old truckers never die......they just get their Peterbilt.......

I guess I'll keep my day job.
More when I have it....
