<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gretchensdaddy, post: 10447576, member: 195890&quot;]Ok, first, about me: CDL since 96, worked standard irregular route/common carrier OTR; regional; dedicated (on semi-dedicated regional now); expedite in straight trucks, cargo vans and big trucks. Tired of big trucks and hours of detention, so looking at hotshot. Additionally, I&#039;d like to move out of my house and live in an RV permanently, like at a state park in between road trips.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking at either RV hauling, or hotshot with a 48&#039; flatbed, CDL length &amp; weight, or a combination of the two, but I&#039;m having trouble figuring out what rig to assemble. I don&#039;t want to be longer than a tractor-trailer, but looking for something that will give my own bed/toilet/shower/kitchen, and stay out for an extended time. Every option has trade offs, and my head is swimming over all of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Option 1: standard dually with a 48&#039; gooseneck, the first 10-11 feet taken up by a camper shell. Drawback: losing the 11 feet, and the camper would have to be mounted in a way that would make it difficult to remove and use on my days off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Option 2: 5500 cab &amp; chassis with the camper mounted on the truck, pulling a 48&#039; gooseneck. Could then just drop the trailer and pull away for my days off. Drawback: might be pretty long.</p><p><br /></p><p>Option 3: a Freightliner M2 106 pulling a 48&#039; gooseneck. Drawback: not sure where the camper would go, and that&#039;s a medium duty similar to a big truck, which I&#039;m looking to get out of.</p><p><br /></p><p>Option 4: a toterhome pulling a 48&#039; gooseneck. I just became aware of their existence yesterday. Drawback: expense, plus that might be too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m hoping everyone might have some input on this. I&#039;d appreciate any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
