When you are a nutjob, does it really matter which side (or sides) you pick? :p

Let's not speak completely freely. Rather, those that say naughty things should pay $1 per into "the pot". Then use that money for a Christmas party! :D

We just took a long look at one at our local dealership. Here's what we think; 1. The inside length of the box is a STUPID 15' 10". What idiot decided to miss 16" inside legth by 2 INCHES!?!? 2. We were told the Isuzu got "20 MPG in a real world test". We must have looked like we were...

1. Yes, in fact several generators have a small amp (6-10) 12 volt output just for that. If you don't have that kind, you can buy a small charger to maintain your batteries. 2. No, you should not (probably cannot) try to run a rooftop air off an inverter. Even if it works, it won't work for...

We think that any carrier that promises "no fees", meaning the carrier pays all the fees, insurances, etc. is going to be MUCH more sensitive to a truck/driver that is not available all the time and a less-than-perfect delivery schedule/performance. If a truck/driver pays all their fees, and...

We were just in Laredo and it looked like a Bolt CV convention there! There had to be more that a dozen Bolt CVs sitting with almost no one else. It was a balmy 110ish degrees too! We dropped and reloaded out within 3 hours. :):)

Yeah, we know how to get ahold of that rascal! He's been running the wheels off his bus lately and not paying attention to much else but I think he finally replied to your PM today... :D

Well, the cost could be worked out but its not so much the money. . . I'd have to have your Sprinter for a while, unless I stay steady on it!

Remember the 2006 and older 3500 Sprinters had the tiny (stupid looking really) 15" wheels and 195/75R15 tires . . . only 25.7" in total diameter. We couldn't stand the stupid look so we went out and bought the 16" Alcoa aluminum wheels for a 2007 (have to use the 2007 lug nuts too or they will...

Here's another progress picture. You probably can see; 1. Shore power at the driver's rear quarter. 2. Roof Air/Heat condensation drain down inside driver's wall to rear. 3. Storage bins on both sides. 4. The E-track and 2 bys line up with the top of the bin wall so we can lay a second...

It's 3/4" thick water-resistant tongue & groove plywood. The insulation prevents any heat or cold whatsoever from penetrating the floor. It may be overbuilt a bit but we wanted it to last forever. We'll post more progress as we get time . . .

About 7". Those 2 x 6's are cut to 5" high.

Let us see if I can do this right . . . I haven't posted pictures before. If this comes out, it is how we started modifying our 3500 Sprinter wheelwells and storage walls.

From our perspective, you've got to be very careful in selecting the carrier you work with. Really watch for two things: 1. Watch the rates they pay out of good areas. Anything less than top rates don't do any good for anyone but the cheap carrier. 2. Watch how hard they work to get you out...

In regards to per diem, does a co-driver have the right to claim the same amount for per diem? Even if they are married? Must the co-driver show income from the driving in order to claim per diem? Even if they are married? I think I know the answers but just looking for the definative answer!

The weight capacities you state are for 2007 and newer. Our 2006 was only available as 9,990 lbs. GVW.

If you have GREAT insulation 7,000 BTU probably can do a fair job everywhere but in the south Texas summer sun. I did say GREAT insulation. To be safe everywhere, I'd recommend a larger unit.

Yeah, some people don't like how I look or if I smell . . . which I hope isn't very often! Seriously, can't we all just get along? If some spelling is out of order, just turn the channel? Like the TV?

I bought our AirV new off ebay last year for $700 and put it in myself so, with shore power and drain, maybe $800. The generator was $299 and we made a trailer hitch swingaway mount to carry it and a gas can.

We have a cheap Menards (probably China) 3100 watt generator (4000 surge) to run our AirV, along with the microwave, tv, computer, fridge, etc. It keeps up with all of it although I wouldn't try anything smaller for all this stuff. Depending on so many variables, we normally get 12-14 hours on...
