As pretty as this rig is, it's still considered a Class "C" and as such is prohibited in every one of the more exclusive "Class A only" resorts...

Wouldn't bother me, but might be a hindrance to some....

Hey, Thanks for all of the interest in my thread. I took the big step and purchased a 35' Motorhome from Twins Custom Coach. Dan was the sales person that helped me from day one. I will be able to personally respond to each of your question first hand in about June. 2008.

While I was at the plant I learned you guys may be seeing these units at location near you very soon. It appears a Non Profit corp. purchased (4) of the 35' tow vehicles from RV Truck Sales. The non profit is planning to out fit 50 of their current COE chassis with the fairings and front end kits found on this coach. Wow that was impressive! They should be on the road several months before my unit is complete. I will drop in and update you guys on the project as I learn more. Thanks again!

Looks interesting but the 35' model is not going to make it in the traditional RV industry. Just no need for a 35' toter to pull a 5th wheel. Looking at the site this must be a very new venture since I do not see any pic's of a completed 45' or 40' motorhome. I also don't see any slide outs, which again takes it out of the traditional market. Looking at the specifications just briefly I can already tell you that the holding tanks are to small. I am sure the rear end is air ride, but if the front isn't again it will never make it.

Judging just from the small amount of info on the site, it looks like it is well built, and I am sure there are specialty markets that it may do well in.

What is the ball park price on a 35' toter?

I think it looks pretty cool for a semi. But how in the heck are they going to access the engine? Don't tell me that the cab tilts. The poor owner would have to unload the cabin . One of the reasons we like a class A is the size of the windshield. I've been in a Peterbuilt and the small windshield makes sightseeing almost impossible.

It is definately built for a niche market.

Enjoy your new MHUV.

There's a reason drivers hated COEs, especially those without air ride! Beat ya to death!!
