Ken, you sleep in your trailer, could the Roll Hauler be classified as an RV? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

But we don't pay "our fair share" to maintain the roads that we use. Another good reason to keep an old truck.

Think of it as a recreational vehicle. All those retired folk going up & down the road with giant bus campers or 40' 5th wheel trailers. No CDL required. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

It's the same Cold War we've been waging for 70 years. Only with new weapons. I'm sure the United States has the ability to infiltrate foreign government systems as well. All of it is way over my head, I'm just a small fish trying to keep swimming and I won't lose much sleep over it. Not in my power to change it, anyway.

Late, but appreciated nonetheless... Sorry I missed you at Macungie, though I wasn't even looking for you so far north. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I think Johnson Parks a few trucks there... It was out behind the garage hooked to a cattle pot. Maybe being used for yard tractor? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Absolutely! We missed you at Macungie. I did see one of your old trucks at Midway Western Star Monday, though. MH with Johnson stickers on the door. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

But if you or I did that, we'd be up on charges for insider trading! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

The u model retained the flat-back cab throughout its run. The original purpose of the u model was as short a BBC as possible. I would assume this is why Mack kept it short.

Happy birthday, Ron. It seems you share a birthday with my wife. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

At least I know who to call when my wipers quit working! Thanks for the insight, Ron. I would enjoy the challenge as well.

I've heard talk that an MR electric wiper can be made to work on an MH, but I haven't tried it. Mine are still working.

WOW... Sorry I missed it. AGAIN.

The more people that tell me it can't be done only reinforces the validity of my decision. America is a great country and I am demonstrating the freedom that made this country great. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Most of what I read on this very forum, owners struggle to achieve 6mpg in new trucks. Plus the cost of DEF. Plus the cost of downtime. At least my downtime is mitigated by the lack of monthly payment. I fell for it once in my career, not gonna be persuaded to buy new again. I traded a E9 MH in 2000 on a brand new CX. Took a long time for me to accept the fact that I did end up with a good truck, but the cost benefits I was promised never materialized. I got a steady 5 mpg with 2 different V8s I owned, and my CX never got over 6 mpg. I don't work for UPS, I don't haul cardboard boxes and foam peanuts. Put 25 ton on the back of any truck new or old and you'll be right around 6mpg. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
