I converted my Class B motorhome to a dually!

[@paulhunter546]

I've always thought they looked funny with the single rear tires..the way you set yours up looks bad ass ! 😁👍

[@JCredTV]

Yeah it definitely looks more like it "should" now.

[@grillyeah]

Hell yeah brother, been following since Dora & wanted a Ram Van since, 3 days ago I bought a 96 2500 Ram Van Coachmen conversion van. The couple drove it to me in Upstate, NY from NC and its awesome!

[@JCredTV]

Congratulations on your new ride! 🎈

[@davidfleishman2275]

An overlooked item for the 3500 series trucks is an anti sway bar on the rear.Also an upgraded front anti sway bar.For the dually conversion make sure you install an anti sway bar on the rear.

Ive been following you from the beginning. Please start posting more!

I totally agree with you i been watching u for years i still have my 1983 dodge ram van b150 pete ellis van still living moble 14 years now its so good to see u i love your van and all the ones u have had in the past

You mean Justin, right?

[@thegunlovingcanadian]

No one will ever convince me twice the amount of surface contact creates less traction.

[@JCredTV]

Bingo! Especially with WEIGHT pushing down on the rear. My traction is sooooo much better with the dually set-up, I won't even think twice to do it again to any future vans.

I've been watching since 2010 or 11 . I've wanted a class B since I found your channel, I grew up in New Orleans my folks had 2 15 passenger vans for their swamp tour and transportation business. I almost took my driver's license test in one at 15😂. Class B's are hard to find down south. Koritfw 🔥

[@JCredTV]

They're hard to find everywhere. I had to have this one shipped across the entire country to me. That's just how it is.

[@larrybergman6075]

If you want to make the handling even better, put a set of Bilstein shocks on it, and the handling will get even better.

[@JCredTV]

Funny, I've actually been considering that!

[@larrybergman6075]

@JCredTV I have a 2001Phoenix cruiser, its a small Class C on a Ford E350 Chassis with dual rear wheels. I added the Bilstein shocks about two years ago, and I can now drive through high winds that small import cars have trouble driving in. My RV is 23 feet long, and here in Idaho we get some very high winds. Have a great day Justin. Keep on rockin in the free world. (or what's left of it)

[@TrevorVio]

Definitely making me want to pull the trigger on this! My biggest complaint about my Econoline based widebody is the sway and traction. I only wish i hadnt bought new tires less than a year ago 😆

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@lindabuck2777]

She’s lookin even better and now I want dualies for safety in every van I get in! Lol I’m not even driving right now but I’m the one who never drank when younger so I always was made to drive! I drove every vehicle known to man! I even got my CDL and later years became the only female limo driver around. I DID have to drive a dualie truck and I recall it was a dream and easier handling. I did have a little trouble coz I’m little and couldn’t reach the pedals (😂) without my purse and jacket behind me😂😂😂. I never forgot that. My son wants one (truck) so imma talk dualies to him now. Thanks I always watch been here awhile! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎈🍾🙏🏻❤️

wonderful and solid

[@MerwinARTist]

LOL .. I loved your "Vomit" episode! That was great! I think maybe some comments about less traction with a dully might come from someone who is running a pickup with no weight in the back. I have a Dodge 4 x 4 - 1 ton flat bed .. it's really a beast .. used it to pull new RVs all over the US. It was terrible without 4x4 engaged in wet ground .. compared to my Dodge 3/4 ton which is also 4x4. Sometimes I have used my 1 ton (4x4 engaged) to pull a steep grade with a 14 ft. dump bed full of logs up a driveway to a friend's sawmill and it wasn't an easy pull. The 3/4 ton with 4x4 engaged would pull the hill in granny gear .. same trailer and load .. with no problem. The 3/4 is lower geared than the 1 ton. I have often wondered where I might get adaptors to make a 3/4 into a dully .. so when I am pulling a long camper bumper pull .. it does less road sway .. and handles more like the 1 ton on highway travel. Enjoyed the video .. been watching your stuff for a while .. from southwestern Arkansas! 🙂

[@CynthiaWithLove]

I have a GMC Savana commercial Unicell 1 ton used starter van❤ it cost me 2000 bucks! It came insulated, no windows in the body, which i like, for security reasons.😊

Love that van Mr! I'm in ontario and would fly out and drive back in that red shorty box if the price I right !

[@ronnjerremy5796]

Very cool idea. Had 3 rams worst van ive ever owned. Gmc 3500 extended van and LS is the best longevity. Had 2 of them go over 525,000k with regular maintenance. Added bonus the chevy/gmc extended actually look nice.

[@JCredTV]

I have an 88 Chevy. Have owned all three of the big three brands. Now on my 12th Ram van, I like them the best by far. And I think the Rams are definitely the best looking. 👍

Thanks for the info. How many of those vans do you plan to HOG? Leave a few for the rest of us. I have always loved that body style. Just could never afford.

You mean the Ram vans or the Islander conversion on the Ram van? I had to have this one shipped to me from across the entire country. The biggest hurdle is just finding one.

[@thomasmachado7198]

Great info Justin! I have a 1996 7.4 ltr Chevy G30 Roadtrek 210. I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing to mine. I was wondering if you had to change anything with the transmission since you are adding another wheel to the rear end axle?

[@JCredTV]

It's just adapters. You're not changing your axle. No other changes are needed.

Of course it is, because that's a cutaway chassis. It's not a van. They didn't make dually vans. A cutaway chassis cab is a whole different story.

[@alwaysseekadventure31]

It’s almost pointless to do it without swapping out for the 3500 suspension. If you’re gonna do it you should do it right

[@JCredTV]

It is a 3500. This is precisely how the various Class B manufacturers did it, with the exact same kit.

[@robs4988]

The problem of course with the North America vans is the very poor build quality of them. It seems you are lucky to get 100,000 miles out of a transmission and very lucky to get 150,000 miles out of the engine. Whereas the Mercedes Sprinter easily goes 400,000 miles, (not kilometres). A broken transmission is virtually unknown in European or Japanese vehicles. Unfortunately you are just too used to junk vehicles in North America that you think a dually will actually make a junk van somehow a good buy.

[@JCredTV]

Quite the opposite in the real world. No shortage of people complaining about expensive and complicated Sprinter breakdowns, expensive parts, and most places won't work on them. On the other hand, I can get almost anything for my Dodge off the shelf ANYWHERE for cheap and every single mom and pop auto shop or backyard mechanic can easily work on it. A transmission rebuild is very affordable and easily done, too. Less tech always equals less problems! On a side note, just this morning an owner of a brand new 2024 Sprinter van literally just posted on a vanlife group that her van went into limp mode on her very first trip! She's now having it towed to a specialized Mercedes service centre (which is ridiculous, that should never be necessary. You should not have to bring your vehicle to a special place, ANY repair shop should be able to do basic repairs and maintenance on any brand). More tech = MORE PROBLEMS!

[@ARF.Racing]

@robs4988 I have a 2003 E350 van with the 5.4 V8 which I converted from a church passenger van to my own camper back in 2015. She has just over 212,894 miles on original engine and transmission. The only repair I have spent money on was a drivers side power window replacement since I bought her back in 2015. I also don't have to worry about all the electronic everything on all the new vans crapping out on me.
