Air-ride toterhome very cool! Man you guys are doing it right. Can't wait to see more!

Bill
thank`s Bill

here are some specs:
the Pete is 30' overall, 11.5' tall and has a WB of 277" (no frame mod. , the rear axle is in the stock rear tandem location). the 12.5' long, 96" wide and 82" tall (finished inside height) sleeper will be air suspended to the frame with 4 air bags and a panhard bar.
the sleeper will have a toilette with lavatory sink, closet, fridge, 6' kitchen with cooktop/oven and sink, upper bunk bed, lower sofa/bed and a extra truck seat (same as in the cab but without airride), a heat pump and 4 solar panels on the roof' 10' awnings on each side, 35 gallon gray, 35 black, LP gas, aux bat, extra air tank, side storage boxes ...
the rear will be finished off with a 7' long and 8' wide bed . build into the bed will be a 30k gooseneck, 40k pintle, standard 2" hitch, 100 gallon fresh, generator and a extra 32 gallon fuel cell with fill station.

the ugly 22.5er rims are only temporary; we will replace them with 24.5 Pete rims after we are finished with the dirty work.



here is a detail pic of the panhard bar that locates the sleeper to the frame (its the bar from the axle we removed ) the 6.5" stroke air bags will be mounted on the outside of the frame (next to the temporary 2x4`s). limiting straps and a set of adjustable shocks will control the motion.


hmmm.... looks like its soon time to build that shop addition i dream about
