Something that big needs torque to move and this thing doesn't have it

That's nice... I wonder what the other side looks like... But as soon as it crossed my mind that I liked it, I remembered how much I hated my last overload Dodge chassis MH... and they have all of the crash protection of a tin shed.

Anyone want a nice project bus instead?

Then don't get hit

With a deep rearend, I bet she does fine down here where it's flat... but I agree, she would be a drag in the mountains.

Always plan "A"

But plan "B" has happened...

 

[polara71]

The right rear would get her moving on the flat sure but at what top speed? Cruising through the west at 75 is necessary. .. You're not getting both..... I just couldn't

Of course but I can't live worrying about B

I understand... to a point... the 78 Georgie Boy bodied Dodge I striped had the shell delaminate and I had the front 4 feet of the passenger side fold over in the wind on I75. When we took her apart, the only steel above the floor was a light gauge 4" square tube roof support right behind the driver's seat (I assume it was support for the fold down bunk). The aluminum skin was paper thin... the entire body was made of cheap paneling and polystyrene sheeting glued together. The 2x4 repairs I had made over the years were the strongest parts of the entire body.

Translate that into a 40 year old fiberglass body... she's still pretty (I like old Travco's better) and if uncracked could be a nice restoration... but if she's as bad to drive as mine was, I'd still either go with a bigger chassis conversion or a trailer like Will has.

Trailer and tow it with a nice truck

My personal favorites are the French Notin Trailers with their typical Skylight Roof design.
If I had the room, as Stan always says..
