My latest project... - 10/02/22 07:30 AM
I thought that maybe someone on here would be interested in my latest project.
I wanted a bigger tow vehicle for pulling my 28 foot enclosed car trailer.
I thought about a Class A R/V Motorhome but I didn't really want to deal with driving a 30+ foot Class A motorhome with trailer that's 30+ feet long also.
I liked the idea of R/V-Toterhome type of rig.
In July I picked up a 1994 International 4700LP Ambulance that I'm working on converting to an R/V.
It's got a DT408 Turbo diesel engine (6.7 liter) and an Allison automatic transmission.
This thing is only 24 feet long which make it only 4 feet longer then my 99 Ram 2500 Ext Cab long bed.
Since then I've been slowly removing all the Ambulance/Emergency Vehicle stuff that was left on it.
It's got front and rear a/c and heat.
It's got a 5000 watt inverter on it already.
It's wired for an outside 110 volt supply line.
The state of Missouri has a list of 6 things that they like on a vehicle titled and an R/V.
They require at least 4 out of the 6 things on the vehicle.
One thing that kinda sucks is that I only put 8 foot tall garage doors on my new garage and this thing is about 8 foot 6 inches tall.
I didn't think that I'd have something taller than 8 feet tall that I would want to put in the garage.
I talked to the garage door company, they said it would be spring before they could install any door if I ordered it now, that's the crazy waay the world is now.
