Crawled under and got the last of the tire date codes off my tires- they look like they're all from the summer of 2007, with tire date codes ranging from 2807 to 3107. So now I gotta decide what to do about that. I'm checking on GovPlanet, and I see that there are plenty of tires available...

The MTVR weighs about 30,000 pounds empty. I'm just spitballing here, but I can't see our total weight going over 40,000 pounds as a motorhome. In a 30-foot length, I'm guessing that I'm gonna need one in roughly an 8" width. What say ye?

What specifically is/are your favorite lug nut tool(s) to carry with you in the MTVR for roadside use, and why? I'm visualizing socket, breaker bar, and cheater bar, but would an air or electric impact wrench be a better solution on something of this size?

My MTVR did not come with a fire extinguisher, just a mangled bracket. I straightened the bracket, but does it take some standard-sized fore extinguisher that is readily available at a good price, or should I just buy one that comes with a bracket and replace the whole thing?

I was somewhat fortunate in that my MTVR came with the flat steel jack base, wheel chocks, and the long threaded hold-down for them inside the passenger side steps... I do need a bottle jack. What would be a good choice (and a good value)? Can I power an air over oil one off of the truck?

The hole looks like it's about 1-9/16". Anybody install some yet?

My MTVR is a 2007 and painted in woodland camo. When it's wet, the colors look pretty fresh. When it's dry, the colors look pretty bland, especially in direct sunlight. Does CARC fade like that on a 13 year old truck? Is there something I can use to revive the colors, or should I just live with...

My MTVR was originally built with armor, which was removed before I bought it, leaving about 50-60 half-inch holes in the floor. I'd like to seal them up, and we may want to put down some kind of sound damping and or sound absorbing floor covering, like rubber matting and/or carpeting on top...

What are these things, and why are they on the trucks

Going to get started cleaning up and fettling our truck today. Our rear mud flaps appear tl have taken on a curled "set" from being stored with the tails hooked to the leashes. Any idea how to relax/uncurl/straighten them? I'm thinking of removing them and laying them flat(ish) in the bed to...

To any SS members in the area- we have made arrangements to meet the driver at his fuel stop in Aurora Oregon tomorrow morning, so that we can fill up our MTVR when he fills up his truck, and then he's gonna follow us to a large parking lot in the Clackamas area to unload it off his trailer...

What can you tell me about the boarding ladder that I have occasionally seen on the left side, for climbing up onto the small platform between the cab and the bed? Is it just the tailgate ladder being used in that position, or is it a different ladder?

The MTVR is a little unique, in that it comes with a folding aluminum cab, and no rollover protection. Any ideas on adding rollover protection? We plan to mount a 20' container to the flatbed, and I'm wondering if we beef up the bed-to-frame mounting, as well as mounting the container to the...

I've purchased a 2007 MTVR that we intend to convert into an overland expedition type vehicle and register as a motorhome in Oregon. We haven't even begun to figure out insurance, so I'd like to hear from other members with experience in this area.

I am interested in learning which members are in Oregon.

I just purchased an MTVR from GP, and am interested in getting it trucked up to Portland. It reportedly runs and drives.

Greetings. We just purchased an MTVR from GP. The vehicle is a 2007, indicating 3,443 miles and 216 hours. I spent hours scouring the Inspection Reports and photos, and tried to pick the nicest one. The only material defect listed in the inspection report, is that the CTIS is flashing. I have an...
