Excellent ideas Larry! The only hitch is, I have seen hardly any(like next to none) 610's with that long a wheelbase, though that would be the way to go. A 230"WB w/the front axle dropped would then be a 256"WB; close to ideal for what I want. Most of the 610's I've seen have a 209-215"WB, which might be workable anyway.
How important is it to keep the cab air-ride? I would think that with air seats and rear air suspension, the ride should still be OK, though admittedly not quite as good as with the cab air susp.
Regardless, the Volvo 610 looks like one NICE truck, and there are a lot of good ones available at decent(mid-20G's on up) prices. That, plus if one watches the bucks going in the coach, a nice RV can be had for a very reasonable price. I read these forums every day. Keep the ideas flowing! Thanks! Gary
