Heres a pic of my 34' diesel pusher with the 18' trailer and chassis

The motorhome and chassis was full of fuel along with many spairs in the trailer. Also full water.

Heres the numbers. 28,400lbs. I would have guessed 26,000. But now we know.

The 5.9 cummins and Allison transmission are a tough combo. :D But I think the next motorhome will have the 8.3.

hey that is not bad at all, motor homes are not held to the 26k gross standard every one else has to live with. bump the 5.9 a bit and roll on.

We did, we changed the turbo actuator, fuel plate and timing. brought my boost from 18.5 up to 25 and my mileage didnt get hurt. Im getting 8.1 mpg with the trailer and rig. :D. I just dont have to drive it floored anymore.

Dont only go to school, go to school and learn a trade that is in demand, THEN SELL YOURSELF.

Most of the people I work for are no more qualified for their job than me, they just did a better job selling themselves. (but becarefull you can sometimes bite off more than you can chew)

If all else fails, marry for money. :flipoff2:
