In search of a new tow rig for my Bronco I wanted something better than my Expedition. I also wanted to be able to also have a bed and shower after a day of wheeling. I considered an class C motorhome but many of them had the same drivetrain as my Expedition and a diesel powered one was expensive. Since the start of my search I helped Broncitis paint his Volvo and really liked the idea of a real truck to tow with. I considered a MDT and after talking with Drew and reading the HDT section of www.escapees.com I decided on a HDT and shortly found a 2000 Volvo VNL64T class 8 truck. It had already had the motorhome title work done already so I wouldn't have any hassles at the DMV. I flew down to Florida last November to look at it and have a shop take a good long look at it. After alot of time on the phone and many e-mails, a month later we struck a deal. I flew down again, got the fluids and filters changed and I hit the road from Fort Myers Florida bound for Maryland. A day and a half later I was home.
Since coming home I've sold the box and got a 70" sleeper. I'm going to build a bed on the back to haul the Bronco and tow a camper. I could have built a toterhome out of the box but it had some damage on the drivers side. I also need to haul the family in it so the layout with the door didn't have a good floor plan to put in seats so I decided to sell it.
