To get this thread back on track ---- <pun intended> ---- I'm thinking (and I'd like to hear opinions) on maybe backtracking halfway... and going with the Sport Truck RV M2 chassis with a 450 MBZ diesel and a TWO car stacker with smaller living quarters up front. Maybe 14' of living quarter (on the flat floor) bedroom sleeping area in the overhead. I think I could do this in a 44' trailer... and the tractor part would be much smaller overall.

Will work on this more when we get back.

Have your ran the hp to wt ratio's for each package?

The Sport Truck is small enough that it would add to the flexibility of the package and you can drop the trailer and go out on the town with the truck.

If the lighter/smaller philosophy is good enough for Stielow...

So this is what I'm thinking -- two car stacker - M2 truck - with some living quarters in the stacker.

Although not this ugly....

You'll be able to limb some trees with that trailer.

The problem with a truck like that is that because it's not an RV you will have to get a license to drive that rig, Legally. Even with my F-450 I was required to have a license legally. But those M2 class trucks have never really impressed me, they lack power and seem to be horrible rattle traps. I kinda thought with all the drama you "could" have to entail you might as well go to a real truck. That's how I ended up where I'm at.
