Gregg, been looking at the 453 for quite some time now. I've owned 3 mini's including one that was a classic from the Netherlands. Loved that car, should of never sold it. I just love small cars period. I got so tired of the whole, "It's so cute" comments, or "It's a death trap" when actually we both know they're extremely safe for there size. Bottom line, they're cool as hell, fun to drive, good gas mileage, AC, cruise, heated seats, stereo, etc. I'll buy a White 453 and probably wrap it in a cool solid color, then get some nice looking light weight wheels to take it to the next level. That's a great video and I appreciate you covering all of the pro's and con's of each model. I saw a 453- 5 speed manual on Auto Trader the other day. The stock 5 speed gear shifter looked a lot nicer as did the boot. I was curious what you knew about the 5 speed manuals and if it's a much more desired transmission than the automatic...? The automatic sounds like it shifts really nice now, I'd driven an early 451 when they first came out and was disappointed in how rough it shifted. I Personally like the new body versus the old, not to mention the added HP, Power Steering, etc. So here's the big question Gregg, I've heard to many different stories on maintenance and parts availability... What's the real truth, can you still get service and parts for the 453...??? I've heard know one will work on them, some Mercedes dealerships not at others. I don't really care to buy one if I can't get parts or service. Can you please clear that up for everyone...? Also, if there are engine upgrades, chips or even cold air intakes for better performance available...? Thanks again, we all appreciate it. I'll watch for your reply.... :) 4/26/24

I pull a 41' toy hauler so I can bring more toys. I also set up my truck like an RV so I can pull my 25' fishing boat for tuna trips. I can't wait to go to the HDT rally to see all the different configurations. Like most people, my setup is a work in progress.

If you are going to tow an RV do you need a sleeper unit? Why not buy a single axle day cab truck for this purpose?
@rvhaulers Ай бұрын
Thanks for the question. There is an advantage to having the sleeper. It usually allows us to title the RVHauler as a motorhome, which makes our insurance and drivers license requirements VERY attractive. When it is no longer a commercial truck, we have far cheaper insurance and registration costs. In most states and Canadian provinces, in order to title the RVHauler as a motorhome, we need to have a number of things such as a fridge, sleeping area, cooking device (microwave), shore power etc. The sleeper allows this! Also, many of my clients use the RVHauler as a mini-motorhome itself! Drop the larger 5th wheel and establish a home base, and then take the much more nimble RVHauler itself for adventures in less accessible camping areas. Thanks for watching! Gregg

Stupid question time. Can a green APU be used as a 50 amp generator for power to the RV along with all the normal rig battery charging, climate control stuff?
@rvhaulers 2 ай бұрын
Hello Chief, Yes, we can draw from the battery based APU systems on the RVHauler. However we have to be careful to do some math. As you know, drawing 50 amps from a moderate battery reserve depletes them VERY fast. You need a significant bank of batteries in order to provide any long term power. However we have the weight carrying capacity to build you the storage space to keep a large reserve! Ggg
