New project talks AGAIN

Ace · September 03, 2014, 08:50:11 PM

Okay things are looking promising on this one! Possibly a very simple fix for the starting issue! Will know later this week and also the pictures he sent me are nothing less than awesome!
Susan loves everything about it and it's completely done with nothing to fix or find to make it useable!
One thing that I MIGHT have to bargain with is new rubber due to the rear tires have studs in them! Won't be needing them in a Florida!
The seller communicates very well, lots better than the last one, which by the way, we think he's not producing the title because possibly it's tied up in a loan or something since he recently purchased a big car dirt race track. Who knows but after finding the recent find, I've all but forgotten the other one!
Really hoping this one works out!

A body piece is off as they were installing new start batteries but it will be complete!

That's nice looking. Does it have the rear garage, also?

Do you have photos of the inside?

On the studs: I've never heard of studded truck tires, but maybe. Assuming that's correct, you might be able to remove them from the tire with a pair of side cutters.
I used to install studs in car tires, and sometimes we'd have to remove them. Either end cutters or side cutters work well for gripping and pulling them out. Tedious,
but if it saves you several hundred dollars, it would be worth it.

Yes it almost identical with a garage only slightly larger. It still has the BR over the garage and the garage opens on the rear where the other opened on the side.
He told me the studs could be removed with a little effort and time.

Studs usually indicate usage in snow and salt. Carefully inspect under carriage for rust issues. The salt they use up here is much more corrosive than the old stuff. Look up rust jacking. Looks decent; does look like a typical rv interior though. BTW, why are you getting this to replace your other one? From previous posts over the years, your Prevost looks pretty nice from pictures I've seen here. I would think this type wouldn't hold a candle to what you currently have. Not trying to be insulting, just curious.

That's not a home built...whose the manufacturer of the rig home portion ?

Ace · September 04, 2014, 03:37:18 PM

Nope, definitely not a home conversion! Jason Hawk built it from the ground up, everything including triple frame when he did the stretch.

Saw one of his units in Eureka Ca first of August, the outside siding/walls I don't really like but the overall unit was impressive. How confident are you that the shell won't start falling apart as does so many others with that kind of construction?
