....get a good comfortable chair and read the past posts for ideas....also Escapees.com under HDT and MDT......then you will answer your own questions and we all/I will/can help with the details along the way....we'd need to re-write the whole forum to answer your questions listed....and a lot of us would-but there are time constraints as you well know.....good planning is the most important part of your adventure so it won't cost a lot and you can get advice from those that have built their own. The mobile home hauler is generally not a good idea _unless_ it is low miles and has air bag suspension-frame lengthening is not too expensive right now cuz of the depression-so it can be done pretty cheap-maybe around $1500-$2000 if not too long or not bent already....most toters are beat to crap so picking the truck is a way to go first.....you can forget the double axles if you build with little weight-I'd suggest a good set of drawings before you start to consider the weight issue.....with the current money situation a 48' dry goods van as a RV is unlikely to get licensed-but it does happen.....geofkaye
