Re: Anybody else in Alabama?

I live in Huntsville. I used to be a truck driver and tried to park my bobtail in my driveway on the weekends, but I was hassled when I did that, so I moved out to the country where such restrictions...

Re: Toys go here.

These are pictures of my 2000 Crown Victoria P71, which I no longer own. One of the biggest mistakes I made was to sell that car. The looks on peoples' faces as I drove down the highway was...

Re: Who uses a dash cam?

A camera that records every time you drive somewhere is an important and neat feature to have, especially for someone that drives for a living like a truck driver. A simple solution would be to...

Re: Friend or foe of Facebook?

I detest ads with a passion, and Facebook is no exception. I remember back in the day (2006) when Facebook used to be just for college students at a university to communicate with each other WITHOUT...

Re: Weather watching

Re: When do you quit??

I'm like that too. I can be OCD with such projects. I'll have an idea once I start on the bus then I'll want to make changes along the way, and if I allow myself to do that, I could literally never...

Re: starting to get a bit cold out

Here in the south east, we've been getting about a week's worth of rain. It's good for the drought conditions, but I'm always nervous when weather is unseasonable.

Re: Where do you put your stereo or other electronics?

With these self driving cars coming out, kick back in the recliner, have a cold one, and let the bus do the driving for you! :lol:

Re: What is happening to this site?

I've certainly noticed that too. I try not to post questions that already have answers to them. I understand how annoying that can be, so despite what others may think, I do in fact do my "homework"...

Re: Where do you put your stereo or other electronics?

Re: How many speakers does the stereo feed?

Bapos, thanks once again. No worries. Are all your speakers going to run off the dash stereo, or are there going to be separate speakers in the back off of a separate stereo? I'll probably wind up...

Re: Tag axle on pusher?

Because from what I've seen, RVs are only rated at 5,000 towing capacity, although I'm sure there are a few greater than that. I've read others mentioning tongue weight being an issue, especially if...

Re: How many speakers does the stereo feed?

Bapos, thanks for your replies, but I was wanting to know what was typical for an RV or bus, not a technical write up. A stereo can be rated for something but a certain type of vehicle won't need to...

Tag axle on pusher?

When I finally get a bus to convert, I want it to be a flat nose pusher. I intend to put a trailer hitch on to tow with. To add stability and increased tongue weight capacity, would a tag axle be...

Re: How many speakers does the stereo feed?

Do buses typically have four speakers, two, etc? How about RVs?

Re: How to insure my bus to bring it home for conversion?

If you register it as a commercial vehicle, you might run into CDL issues. They'll assume you intend to use the vehicle in a capacity for making money or transporting people. In either case, that...
