    Doug your comments r too kind. Many of my friends have suggested very clever ideas for the door and steps. When I reskin it I'm loosing the rear door that is not really needed for a small RV such as this and I'll make 1 larger bedroom window out of the current door and smaller window that is there now. That leaves me with having to engineer only 1 way in.

    Headed over to peterbuilt this morn with the vin to see just what 10 speed trans and rear end is in it.

    Drove it back to Chicago from Texas without incident. Got 8.2 mpg at 72 mph. Tested it a few different times by jumping out into the hammer lane (left lane) when getting past by a large car (semi) that had galloped by . Nobody got away from me all night long. Its way less strenuous to drive than that van pulling a trailer was. I left Texas 2pm Friday afternoon and pulled up at home in Chicago at 8 am sat morn. An adrenaline filled trip. I have to install a cb before the next time out that will be a hoot.
