Hi everybody. My name is Nick Russell and my wife and I have been fulltime RVers for over 8 years. We live and travel in a 40 foot MCI bus that we converted ourselves. If anybody is interested in the conversion process, you can see a complete story on it on our website at
www.gypsyjournal.net.
Lately we have been talking about a new project, building a truck conversion toy hauler. We like the Volvo Class 8 trucks, but are flexible on what truck to get. I have a ton of questions, but will start with a couple:
1 - We spend a lot of time around Elkhart, Indiana. Does anybody know of shops in that area that could stretch a frame and maybe build a box to our specs?
2 - Any idea what stretching a frame to get a conversion with an overall length of 40 feet would coast?
3 - For those of you with Renegade or Haulmark
type truck conversions, what kind of fuel mileage can one expect?
