Awesome!! We still have the rig and that trailer! Maybe we'll cross paths again one day :)

[@HATECELL]

What a great idea. I've seen truck based RVs before but this is the first one that can still haul freight. And this one seems a lot more comfortable and modern, I've only seen camping trailers mounted on old trucks

+miriamandjon What is your empty weight? I am looking at a 156 inch ARI on a Volvo and the dealer says about 22,600 + or - 10%. I really like the slide out idea like a travel trailer has, adds a lot more living space, so now looking at Show Haulers website

I would like to know what company built the RV conversion?

[@edungtran]

2012 Volvo VNL300, ordered as a daycab and converted to this by Showhauler Motorhome Conversions.

[@Sootmaker]

edungtran Thank you! Going to investigate this further.

[@petermcinerney5421]

edungtran how is the Ishift?

[@luissantiago8544]

Are they pulling loads? .Im just wondering also who can I contact id like to invest in one in the future but definitely pull loads so it will be my work and home

[@VolvoTrucksNorthAmerica]

Hi, Luis. This is a working truck, used for dedicated loads. Your local Volvo Trucks dealer can help you spec a similar tractor for upfitting with a custom cab.

[@luissantiago8544]

Im definitely thinking about it just going on the road and live on the road this would be my home and my office

[@lanceservantes1524]

discovery

[@divisioneight]

I think they are pulling expedited loads which can afford such a rig. Pulling contract for companies won't pay for that custom ride. And when pulling, you don't get to lay over at a camp site, it's typically a truck stop.

[@charlesstevenson5141]

Not only that but because of the weight and length of the truck really restricts its versatility in what it can haul.

[@tanumaychakraborty3126]

Nice Couple, fantastic pet wth great cab...enjoyed

[@drvinodniyer7603]

Stay blessed. Love ❤️ you both

[@RonRay]

Seriously, what would be the cost of that rig?

[@tinderinc]

$250K+

[@Skittlebitties]

If I had to guess closer to 500k

[@RonRay]

derrick coleman Thanks. That's a lot; but look at the price for a decent home now days... somewhere in that same range!

[@RonRay]

***** Thanks!

[@bluepawn]

RonRay it looks very expensive to have such truck, it s much more than a normal house ! how about a truck driving licence (in my country it s so expensive to get it that it s a kind of impossible) if you have a plan mobile phone where the bill is sent to ? taxes bills etc etc if you move all the time where is your address ?

[@wasu1532]

Where can we get this?

[@miriamiammir]

Volvo custom built the chassis for us and Showhauler Trucks in Middlebury, IN did the sleeper!

[@miriamiammir]

;) I'm sure I did!

[@SATANIFICATION1]

We did it in 2017 and it was a very good experience of a life time. Unfortunately we had to stop our trip because of medical problems. Only covered 5 states of 48 that we were planning to cover. Plan to finish it in the future.

[@kansascowboy5721]

You're joking right? 22" is pathetic in a car let alone a truck.

[@miriamiammir]

[@baconftw2277]

***** they're driving a semi truck (a bit more of a rv then a semi truck but that dont matter). Some trucks are lucky to have a tv

[@johngardner3563]

They showed an amazing truck/lifestyle and you’re criticizing a 22” TV? 😂😂😂😂

[@XaviarJS]

Who's the builder of the sleeper unit?

[@miriamiammir]

Showhauler Trucks out of Middlebury, IN

[@miriamiammir]

We worked with the engineers at Showhauler, our Volvo truck dealer (a very knowledgable guy!) and the Volvo engineers to come up with the specs for manufacture. We are based out of Florida, formerly Texas. Each state has it's benefits - we like TX and FL because no state income taxes so that's a plus. Licensing vehicles in FL is more expensive as they charge sales tax on commercial vehicles! So that's a minus. Just got to find what/where works for you.

[@100pyatt]

David White sure David, just don't haul any freight from Florida! That state has generally been destroyed by the worst of the worst rate cutting in the USA.

Jon & Miriam Brown how much would it cost for that beautiful rv-semi

[@michaelwalker1119]

try double teaming a European truck. you would soon pack it in. LOL.

[@afcgeo882]

With the turning radius this truck has, they probably have to turn down a lot of jobs. which is why they’re doing a Volvo commercial instead.

[@TOTALLYRELAXED]

You're very fortunate to be able to PLAY while you work as a truck driver. Thirty eight years as a truck driver, and, the last 15 as an owner operator, I didn't have TIME to 'play'. You must be hauling some awfully good, and, intermittent, paying loads to have all that extra time off.
