    APU unit question

    I dont think you have to have the super duper 10,000 watt Onan or whatever it is. A 5500 should be plenty.... is likely quite a bit less cash....could very possibly buy the Onan 5500 + rooftop + required modifications for $10k or less. I think the DD's have a 5500. Honestly, what Im told works...

    APU unit question

    Why can you not use the Onan? Doesnt make any sense to me. Here's the way I see it. The only reason your changing out to begin with is because the one you have is too much trouble...correct? No way in heck I would spend $10,000 on any less than something that has been proven to work well. So...

    APU unit question

    Just tryin to save you some heartache. If you read the different truck forums and listen to the drivers. The tripak and Onan users are the only consistently happy customers. The tripak does not have to be tied into the truck system. That is only if you it to warm the engine coolant. Im told...

    APU unit question

    If you want an actual APU, get a thermoking tripak. If you want a seperated unit (probably the best) get an Onan and a rooftop. OR, you can always spend a few thousand here and a few thousand there trying out these other boat anchors to see if they've brought their product up to par with the...

    Flat or Van?

    That would be your best bet since you want a minimum of 12' of sleeper. They would probably set up the truck and/or the trailer. You'll be all set!

    Just got through surfing a few tint law websites. Seems most states allow recoprocity, some don't. The MO laws are showing 35% and that is good in all but just a few states anyway. You may have trouble in NY or CA, but the rest seem like you'll be ok. I need to do mine.

    Some of the other guys might comment different, but 1500 seems pretty light duty? I dont think uou need the authority or mc # on a van even if you went out on your own. Xiggi gave good advice except for the prostate part. :) I think he meant Tristate or Bolt. Not a lot of carriers looking for...

    Hey, there always opportunities for extra cash. If those are contract trucks, just hang a sign around your neck that says "these numbers could, possibly be adjusted" :D

    Might be a dumb question

    After thinking about this a bit. Try the quick and easy first. When the engine is cool, preferably early in the morning when it is the coolest, tighten every hose clamp. Good chance your leak will go away.

    Any info on A. Blair Enterprises

    Good post with actual numbers and experience. Driving their Sprinter for .60-.62/mile and you buying the fuel is a good gig...especially with good miles.

    Might be a dumb question

    Likely what they call a cold water leak. When at operating temps, heat expansion seals the leak. When parked, as everything cools back down, the leak reopens. I had the same problem with my ST. On inspection, I could see a trail of water coming from the center of the radiator when truck was...

    Van Load Safety

    Sounds like you have etrack on the floor and the walls. First upgrade I would do, would be to fasten the track directly to the metal floor or some type of metal structure. In fact, if the etrack sits on top of the wood floor and the wood floor is on top of the metal floor....your using up a...
