Meet SHADOW! Only 253,000 miles
Price advertised in USDollars. I personally setup this RVHauler to meet my own travel plans and needs. I knew the original commercial owner before it came to my shop, and how this Volvo was treated and cared for was awesome. It shows. My wife and I have enjoyed traveling in SHADOW for over 60 hours this season. Would you like a very low mileage RVHauler that is ready to take a smart car, or other similarly sized toys? He is road-tested thoroughly, inspected, and has been tweaked to my picky standards.

Looking good. Love the truck.

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Keith. Glad you like the looks of SHADOW. I appreciate you taking a moment to share your comment! Gregg

[@rickgriffith1]

Hi Greg. We really enjoy your videos. Especially the two recent, what to look for videos. We like Shadow a lot and it was the name of a pet we lost a few years ago.

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Rick, I really really appreciate it when viewers take a minute to share comments. The names for our RVHaulers often have special meanings. I have had RVHaulers named after pets quite often. Sometimes they are fun, sometimes they are very meaningful. Thanks for watching my videos, and I am glad you are enjoying them. I like making them! Although I like making RVHaulers more.... Gregg

Really nice rig Gregg. Be safe.

@@rvhaulers I usually share it facebook too, even though I do not use facebook really. Figure it is something free I can do for you providing all the information the last few years.

[@KU9L]

Very nice ;-) Since the Ecosport is now AWD instead of FWD, it isn't even dolly towable. That leaves it still find for the back of an HDT north-south as an alternative to the Jeep for old people's comfort. We are then considering our best 35" or under 5W floorplan to keep us shorter overall.. I was struggling to find anything that had a decent computer workstation for those of us needing connectivity (We manage 13 campgrounds for the USFS for our concessionaire employer). Then I realized that the truck itself has a great office environment already just waiting for those Zoom meetings. Now just have to work on the accessibility issue for old folks needing knee replacements, some of those with YT channels are being interrogated as we speak. Back to my homework ... -Dave

[@rvhaulers]

Hello Dave, SECRET REVEALED = NEW STEPS! I have a possible solution for the Volvo steps issue. This isn't on my public channel, but here is a link to view custom steps we manufacture. Super grippy surface, never rusts, lightweight but handles up to 350 lbs. We can also paint-match to the color of the RVHauler! A quick video link JUST for you - kzbin.info5ofkDCQ0yNg Ggg

[@deanh6689]

Hi Greg I've been watching your channel very impressive information and I was just wondering if you build a truck that can haul a Toyota Sienna and still have the Drone box in the back and pull a fifth wheel

[@rvhaulers]

Hello Dean, Yes yes! We can do that. I have over 470 videos now on my channel so sometimes finding what you want is a bit hard. If you are interested, here is a REAR LOAD larger vehicle video. (it is a Jeep, but you get the idea). kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWeVeH6jptiggM0 Keep the awesome questions coming Dean! Thanks, Gregg

[@chapc]

Another beautiful truck Greg, thank you for the video. Two questions, if you please. What bumper is that? I have the same bumper sans fog lights, and I do not know the name. I love it, hit a Buffalo two hours south of Whitehorse and it took it without even denting! Love it. Second, will you please show the Jeep hauler build? I have a 2013 VNL730 HDT with a Jeep, and I would love to see what you do differently. Thank you, and best wishes. Brian I lied, one more question, would you consider coming to the HDT Rally in Kansas next year? Or there is a possible rally next summer in Montrose Colorado. It would be great to see you and perhaps hear a presentation on your company’s philosophy, form and function. Cheers

[@rvhaulers]

Hey Chap! That bumper is a MAGNUM. Jeep Hauler Build Video and LOADING - Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWeVeH6jptiggM0 Oh, and one more question answered. I have attended the National HDT Rally for many many years. It is an excellent event. At this point in my plans, I am unable to attend this next upcoming event as I have family plans booked far in advance that will conflict. However, I haven't heard about the possible Montrose Colorado Rally. Do you know when it will be? Maybe send me an email with information? Thanks for watching the videos! Gregg

[@chapc]

@@rvhaulers thanks a lot Gregg. I appreciate it, but I was meaning the one you planned to build in the background of this video? I’ve been traveling with my Jeep for over a year, so I am well acquainted with how to load it. Cheers!

[@dennislynton7706]

100% nice, looking forward to your next personal build. How much can it pull with a bumper pull hitch?

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Dennis, The limitation is usually the trailer ball (or pintle hitch) that you choose to use. Class V is usually up to 20,000 lbs. There are some three inch trailer balls that go up to 25,000 lbs when combined with a Class V. Pintle can go higher. Ggg

[@JoshuaWilliams-ux3jr]

Do you just use the factory back rear-end and can just take the front diff off and put the back 1 in it's place and use the original drive shafts

[@rvhaulers]

Hi there, and thanks for the question. We place every axle according to the bed length, what we are carrying, weight distributions, and expected trailer pin weights. They can be setup quite differently from RVHauler to RVHauler. As well, we have to re-manufacture the driveshafts. The yokes are different sizes between the power divider axle, and the main rear drive axle. Thanks, Gregg

Great video i didnt realize you are in canada. Iam from ontario and really looking at going this route for a tow vehicle . What are your cost to build one if i supply a truck . Ball park figure . Thanks Lee

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Lee, There are quite a few permutations and options it is not easy to guess exactly what you are envisioning. However, I always welcome a quick phone call if you have the time. We can chat a bit and narrow down some pricing pretty quickly. All my contact information is below in the video description, or on my website at www.rvhaulers.ca/inventory/ Thanks, Gregg

[@AgOG47]

What license is required to drive these? I really like this truck.

[@rvhaulers]

All of our units are titled as motorhomes when they leave my dealership. You need a license to operate a two axle motorhome with air brakes. Picture your diesel pusher - same license! No CDL (Commerical Drivers License) required!

[@TheBelaire]

These things are fascinating. Is there a reason why a single axle truck couldn’t be employed as an RV hauler versus modifying a tandem to a single axle?

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Tim, We can go with either the tandem or single axle for our purposes. We can start with a tandem, optionally convert it to single axle, or sometimes there are a few rare already-single axle trucks out there! Ggg

[@onebadsavage26]

RVHaulers, do you ever use tractors without the monster sleepers? Seem redundant to have all that extra length when you have a 40' 5th wheel right behind you.

[@rvhaulers]

Hello Projects Gaaaalore! Yes, we are certainly able to use day-cabs as our RVHauler candidates. Thanks for watching, Gregg

[@kevinbarry71]

If I remember correctly; you showed this tractor a while ago. Didn't this have the most powerful engine he could possibly squeeze into it? Seems a little like overkill for somebody who pulled light loads.

[@chapc]

He did say it was 550 horse, and that is a big engine tune for a light load. That said, you will have the power going through the mountains that most folks would not. It sure is nice pulling away from the crowd going up the hills.

[@rvhaulers]

Hi Kevin, I have have had the pleasure of driving ALOT of RVhaulers over the years. I'm a guy. I like what I like, and I personally like BIG HP and BIG TORQUE. Yeah, sometimes that testosterone just appears in the bloodstream, and you put your foot down - JUST BECAUSE. Yup, I can climb that mountain pass at 70 MPH passing every darn little pickup and car on the road. My wife shakes her head, and lets me be me. (But not for too long) I get why some owners just like the big monster under the hood. When we want to wake up that 535 HP monster and bring it to life, ooooooh, yeah. I've worked hard, I've paid for the fuel, and for minute or two on my trip, I WAKE THE MONSTER under the hood. Then, smile ear to ear. Ok, I'm done having my little mid-life crisis. Back to work. Sigh. Gregg RVhaulers
