RE: Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler
To the guys that where watching this thread. I got the class 8 truck done. Put everything in it out of another RV. Went and had the garage do a reconstructed title on it. Submitted paper work to Harrisburg. And got turned down. Because it still had the option to tow a trailer. I just wanted to title it has RV because plates would only be $82.00 and anyone can drive it. So plan b is to have the weight drop to class 6 at $288.00 for plates. And it can still be driven without cdl as long as I stay under A certion combo weight. So I should be hearing back from Harrisburg any day now. I have approxamently $800.00 so far in trying to get plates. :(

RE: Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler
" Lets take it further, maybe 2 wheels fall off the trailer as well and there is a 100MPH tail wind pushing us down a 15% grade mountain pass with hair pin turns and angry grizzly bears all around all while the sun is in our eyes and the bridge is out ahead! :D joking ofcourse.."
Even with your silly scenario, I'd rather be in Kevin's truck when things go to heck than yours......just saying:W
Thanks for the complement.

RE: Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler
Lets just put it this way. I feel a lot better now that I know I can stop on the dime now pulling 18000. And that is more important to me than making it to the top.

RE: Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler
You've done very well in your selection, it seems. Now you have 'nuff truck' to slow and control the load nicely.
I'm always amazed at the folks whose only concern is wether there is enough engine to get up the hill. Forgetting that you've got to come down the other side. And NO, the trailer brakes are NOT designed to do that! lol
Idot: One with not enough brains to be an idiot. They're everywhere it seems. ;^)
Sorry, couldn't help commenting on some of the 'off the wall' posts. lol
I feel what you are saying. Like I said. If that one hot wire from truck to RV brakes gets a bad connection while driving. There will be very few pickups that can stop!! Safety first!!

RE: Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler
With your TV, mountains should be no problem. Neither should stopping. Good show..
Thank you. I kind of think that wether it be dodge. Ford. Chevy. There is just to much RV to stop in a panic situation. And after being there myself. I don't want the death of no one to be on me because I was stupid in my judgement.
Your truck brakes are not responsable for stopping the load behind it, only on it or in it, the other is the job of your trailer brakes which if the trailer is loaded within it's limits (as is the truck)should be no problem. Now there is some skill required in pulling a trailer that is heavier than the TV however that is not something that is unheard of, every 18 wheeler on the road falls into that catagory as well as just about every RV. I can appreciate your project for what it is, it's fun to watch it progress.
I get what you are saying. But what most people don't know is if by chance that one hot wire brakes or gets a bad connection. That means no brakes. And most trucks can't stop a 18000 pound trailer on there own. The bigger truck I built can do that with no problem!!

RE: Enduramax Toy Haulers: Any Reviews or Feedback?
Wanted to add I have been living in mine sence last winter. The only note I would like to add is dont think you are going to use just electric heaters to keep it warm to save on propane. You will need to use the furnace because the furnace is what helps keep the under belly warm. Electric heaters will keep the chill off it. But it seems I have to put furnace on at -20. Or water line freezes.

Thanks guys. I have to take a easy once in a while. Even though I got some ideas in mind for the GMC. Thinking of putting a Rockwell ft drive axel in it. Making it four wheel drive.
