Hello All,
I'm new here and have browsed the site and found a lot of good info.
Is there a "How to book" any where with detailed info on converting a class 8 truck into a troter or motorhome?
I have a yr2000 KW T2000 with a 240" wheelbase. I rebuilt the 460hp Cummins and straight 10 less then 250 miles ago.I never go over 62mph for fuel mileage, so I know she's got alot of miles left in her.
I'm not sure if I want to go the expense of strething the frame....unless I do it myself.....which I would need expert advise in doing it right. I know I can get some of that from truck shops, but if there is someone here that has done it, or it's in how to text, that can give me direction, that would be nice too.
I also am not sure if I want to, or need to drop the front axel and just go with the rear.
I need info on EVERYthing....
How to build the box frame and then the skin, etc....
How to books with pics are always a plus.
Also, any idea what the resale value of a homebuilt is....assuming its done well....
I know that somewhere on here are probably the answers to all my questions....point me in the right direction....

Thanks
