Hi, my name is Dave and I am new to RVing and I have three different types of builds and can't seem to get any further. I would appreciate any thoughts about anyone or all of them.
Usage: I am building a custom jeep flatbed to snowbird Florida to Arizona to do some day trip off roading, fishing etc. I am by myself so this would be considered a "couples rv".
1st build: Freightliner M2 106 plus Bolt conversion with rear motorized seat to lay flat to sleep on, some of my own add-ins., DD8 / Allison 3200 combo, Detroit air ride axles, Hensley Trail saver air ride hitch, 19,500LB GVWR. Towing a 1492 coaches custom gooseneck car hauler, 30' overall / 22' on the floor / 7' roof / 8'6" wide , tool cabinets 24" deep, jeep 17' overall, leaving 3' to balance, roughly 18,00 lb GVWR. Plan would be to rent a cabin in campground resort and go out for day trips.
2nd build: Freightliner Cascadia 116 w/ DD13 / DT12 combo Toterhome with 20' box ( for me i would want a bed and not sleep on couch conversion ), 38' overall, same trailer. This i would have LQ's. This would require a larger chassis and drivetrain. But I have LQ.
3rd build: 1492 custom 38' coach same chassis and drivetrain from above. This would require bumper pulling the trailer and overall on the trailer would be 27'. roughly 16,000 lb GVWR.
I have to respect 65' overall length due to living in Tax - A - Chusetts. I would be traveling through mountains in New York, Penn, Virginia.
Thanks..
