Hello GEPatch,

Was interesting to hear some of your comments. I am the Volvo Rep that specializes in the RV industry. you are correct about some shady outfits that will take your money. I do business with 14 of the nations leading truck convertors and would be happy to help in anyway. You brought up a very legitimate problem that you will find in most of the used truck conversions. The front axle is usually rated at 12,500lb. This is way too light and can bring a very expensive ticket if ever caught. I only will order a 16k front axle suspension with 15,660 rated tires and rims on the truck chassis that I stock. Not to mention what any attorney could do with an accident claim and an under-rated front suspension.

I agree with Bob about finding a unit that is on the dealers lot and making a crazy offer. Some just might take it. Especially on a freightliner columbia or M2 chassis that they are discontinuing.

Feel free to call or write if you have any further questions or need additional info.
