I ordered the truck from Freightliner in 2007 and had a 22 ft van body installed on the 256" wheelbased frame. Used the rig to service various pieces of mobile equipment and depreciated it into my business. 2 years ago I retired, parked it in the yard and started to design the motorhome conversion. Truck had 27000 miles on it.
Did 2 trips to Elkhart and toured all the truck conversion people. Took all the ideas we had and put them on paper and "shopped" the conversion.
NRC got the nod and the rest is history.
Spec'd it nicely with Villa ultraleather, led tv's, Hehr 6400 series windows, luxury vinyl tile flooring, 12 cu ft fridge/freezer, Quadra leveling system,etc.
I worked with the design person at Precision Painting and then had them apply the paint and 5 coats of clear.
We are very pleased with the way it turned out and the way it performs over the road.
