    Well I wouldn't have the trailer on. What I'm thinking of doing is buying an old freight liner cabover. It's been restored except for the paint. I would drive it around as a weekend truck registered as an RV. Just wasn't sure if you could

    o, i have seen that, pretty often as a matter of fact

    they have the "not for hire" on the side and they are out of the clutches of DOT and FMCSA

    That makes sense. Honestly my dream is that when I get older and have a good chunk of change saved up ill buy an old 359exhd. Make it just a weekend truck, some people restore old cars and have those as weekend pleasure vehicles, my dream is to restore trucks

    My dream is to have a bed that I can sleep on outdoors in the summer time, well either that or to have an office with 4 inches of and on the floor, a palm tree, paint the walls blue, ceiling fan, and a parrot. I just want to feel comfortable at the office.
