I know with your skills, you'll have that Cat straightened right out, and the generator as well.. 25KW??!! Man you can run the trailer park with that thing.😂 That old fella has more stuff than Carter has Little Liver Pills!😆 What a freakin' gold mine!🏆🏆💲💲😲

    That truck is way better than any new RV. Like you said it just needs a bit of a remodel. But worst case you can get a nice airstream or othe bumper pull that might be a newer nicer thing that will make the wife happy. I'm guessing you need a new air switch for the fan. Seems like that's what I had to replace on the last Cat I had. I had an '88 International with a 425 Cat back when it was the most desired motor around. You got a solid truck to fix up there, I don't see how you can go wrong. Be well! 😊

    @jaquigreenlees Рік тому +3

    few months back there was a similar unit available near me, black cherry and chrome, though they converted it in a far easier manner. they removed the sleeper, put a travel trailer on the frame of the truck with it's back end tied into the cab, cut the hitch off the trailer. the exit from the rv living quarters was on the drivers side. powered by a series 60 detroit diesel.

    That is a really cool rig. If the interior was completely redone you could flip it super easy. All the Glamis and Pismo guys in So Cal would love to have it. The shower and head combo looks like a marine system for a yacht. I've purchased a couple of those marine toilets in my time. And can you imagine the estate sale that'll eventually take place there? You'd have to hire an auctioneer to handle that inventory.

Then u can tow the GLAMPER for amber, maybe someday turn it into a 5th wheel hauler like cleeters rig and some slides, update it, would make a sweet OTR rig for hauling the pulling toys or mud trucks. Plenty of room to put bunks in for the kids that fold up. It's got a shit ton of ceiling height.
