Hey guys and girls hows it going? I am new to the forum and bran new to RV's. I have a LOT to learn and hope you guys can help me along. Right now I am the proud owner of a 24' Uhaul truck. It is a 1988 International with the 7.3 IDI. I am currently converting it into a toy hauler. The first time around was a rough build just to make it work for what I wanted. It has been great for the past year and now it is time to take it up a notch. I am planning to gut the camper and start over and this time around do it right. If you want to check out the vid I put together click the link.

Airborn Jordan,

Welcome...I started off much the same way with my trucks to support my motorcycle habit. I built my first hauler out of an old Winnebago Class A. I had it for many years and the upgrades and the cash just kept flowing. I finally got up to a full size HDT about 3 years ago and never looked back.

All of this to say welcome and to warn you that you may be entering another addictive / obsessive adventure to match that of the 4X4 experience. Its all good fun.

BTW, I have been to several events at JeepSkool over the years...you’re lucky to be so close.
