    How far back from the frame rails should you go for habitat?

    It ultimately comes down to how much weight you plan on hanging over the back and if you plan on any type of towing. Also how structurally sound your build is. Less is always better as to overhang.

I also am state certified in diesel emissions and have a Commercial retrofit license. Having said that RVs will be regulated in the near future, just how far that goes...

    All the weight is forward of the lift and the wrecker was designed to do this work. The weight is distributed proportional. There is no way of knowing how much weight was in the end of the camper behind the axles..What type of roads he was on or how the driver was driving. It's clear who ever...

    Do i need a subframe

    Lots of factors to consider. First weight of the shelter with equipment. I think that rules out using a 1/2 chassis immediately. I would probably go as far as saying you're going to need a 1 ton. Tire clearance would be the next issue. Will you need to raise the box to clear your tires and how...

    All the years I lived in California as an adult I had carry permit. About 30 years and since leaving I haven't followed the changes. Living in a basically crime free area now I don't unless traveling. I have a finger safe within reach in my vehicle. If I feel I'm in an area I need to carry I...
