I say you are right in line with the $1000 estimate. I have a 32' Gulf stream cavalier and have looked into doing exactly what you are talking about. One way I figured to save some money was to only install 2 tanks. A 50 gallon fresh water tank and a 60 gallon black tank. Locate the black tank...

One big thing to consider is trade in value. I bought my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 6 years ago for $30,000. Today it still books for $22,000. I have never seen a gasoline model hold it's value like that.

I read the same story before I bought mine. I know some people will be more sensitive to this type of things than others.  I think the problem was when they first came out the trailers did not have the normal idle time since they were built and shipped very quickly. This idle time that normal...

I would like to weigh in on the other side of this. I bought a FEMA trailer last year and have gotten a lot of use out of it. I could not afford to spend $10-15,000 on a camper. I found a brand new, never lived in 32' Gulf Stream Cavalier and bought it for $3400. It had everything a normal RV...

Looks like the same specs as my TT I bought a few months ago. Mine is a 32' Gulf Stream Cavalier(FEMA Trailer). I bought 2 of them in Alabama and hauled them 500 miles to Eastern Ky. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 Quad cab 4x4. I wouldn't even consider hauling this trailer with a 1/2 ton. Pulling and...

You can get the cummins diesel in the for F550's.

I installed one of these wireless cameras on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 and pulled the transmitter as far forward as I could, it is mounted on the frame. It does pretty good but the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is only about 6ft, even at this short distance sometimes it looses...

I also have a FEMA trailer and have been looking into doing the same thing. Best I can figure we need 2 tanks. I figured a fresh water tank and a black tank. The black tank will be very simple, removed the house toilet and install a RV toilet, put the black tank directly under the toilet and...

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 QC 4x4 Turbo Diesel with a 6 speed manual. My truck has a 3.73 rear end.

O i forgot many things but thats why this first trip was close to home and 6 miles from Wally world. I did have to go to Walmart and get a good flashlight and a few board games. All in all a great weekend.

Had a great weekend. I got the Trailer from a lot in Alabama. Everything worked out great and the TT worked without any flaws. I am VERY happy with my purchase and after I add some tanks everything will be finished. Best thing was the price, $3400 for a brand new TT that had never been lived in.

OK I am finally out of school and ready to get away for the weekend with the wife. In final preparations I went to Walmart to see if they might have a few things. To my surprise they had the sewer hose and adapters I needed, they also had a water pressure regulator, wheel chocks, binders for the...

I have worked in EMS(Emergency Medical Services) for 16 years. Every ambulance we drive is a Ford. The 7.3 is a powerhouse that will last for many many years. We have had trucks that have over 500,000 miles on them. These are not easy miles mind you, we start them cold and run the dog snot out...

I bought a cheapo 3500w generator from Wally world. Took some 1inch angle iron and made a basket for it and welded it to the back bumper. The basket welded to the bumper and to the brace that runs to the bumper. The cord is long enough to reach the generator. On the back side of the platform I...

Mine is a 6 sp manual. I thought the scale must be off at the stone yard so I had it weighed at another set of scales and it was within 50lbs. The only extras I have are the push bars and step bars which probably weigh around 100lbs for both of them. I know the 35" tires add some weight but not...
