Hi Rudy, the pictures of the sleeping dogs are great, we have two rescue dogs also, one we brought from the Cook Islands and one came from a first nations reserve up the coast from us. Thats the main reason I'm building a motorhome on a 5 ton truck...gotta have room for the hounddogs. Dogs love truc...

Hi, just curious, but isn't there three time zones in Oregon when the we all shift to daylight saving time? I remember reading the book " Sometimes a great notion", I thought it was discussed in that book.?

re the height of the windows , that's a thought I had when I was debating the use of " residential units " in my truck. The windows would be approx. 5' above my trucks frame level which is at least 4' from the road. With the rv windows I'm just not impressed with the thermal qualitys they ...

I heed your advice, you are correct, regular glass is off the list and safety glass is in. My original plan was to use rv type glass and tig weld up some frames that were top hung ,similar to marine type frames. Back to the drawing board. Thanks

I guess that is the issue, whether or not the non rv type window would take road use. I just spoke with a fellow truck friend, he said "oh no the windows would all crack and fall out", but as Dburt pointed out what of all the old house trucks with the funky residential glass in them. what ...

Hello again, This may not be a new topic but just a detail I've been kicking around. Any advice for or against using residential style top hung windows in a house truck. I want a top hung window with a screen that cranks open ,so you can have ventilation rain or shine. I've looked at the rv ones and...

I think if you crunch the numbers, comparing all the pieces required to install a typical rv toilet, holding...

Hi, Lev here again....I should of described my truck as "meets 2010 hi tech not 2001, where have I been for nine years???

Hello Goodclue, Thanks for the incolet info., and thanks to Rudy for posting your site. I'm definitly going with the same unit you have, as my truck electrical is all 120/240vac. I'm going to install a zantrex full sine wave inverter and a big battery bank down low for ballast, 180w. pv panels above...

Thanks for the invite Rudy, its usually later in the evening when I finally come in from the shop and sit down at the ol laptop. I'm on pacific standard time here so it must be much later in your area. Saw some of your woodwork on here, I'm planning on a total wood interior on the truck, no plastic ...

Hello all, Thanks for the replies. I am planning on running all the electrical in the living area in 120/240v. ac. so thought any kind of incolet or composting unit might work. Grey water is not an issue but truckin around a tank of effluent looking for a sani dump seems like a hassle. I want to be ...

Hello,
