First, we want to say how much we love this truck, and this forum. The folks on the HDT list helped us pick out, convert and take care of "Hagrid" our HDT.
BUT, with growing kids, things sometimes change unexpectedly and after a year of really being able to "take it all with you", and loving it, we find that we need to sell.
SO, here he is:

We hate to see Hagrid go, but we do need to sell him.

We were asking $45K, but are reducing our asking price to $40K, and open to offers.

I have had several PM's about the truck and the workshop so will answer them here....

The workshop is connected by 9 bolts, so it can be removed. It was built and installed by AA Sleeper in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and they have the equipment to un-install.

A custom back could then be created, or it could be singled or a car hauler bed could be created( this was our original intention-it is long enough to take a MINI with clearance for your FW).

We MIGHT be interested in trading....so contact us, you never know we might say YES:-)

The truck got 7-8 mpg hauling our 19,000 GW Toy Hauler...and handled mountains-up and down, like a dream.

The autoshift works great! This truck is really smart and we rarely had to override his decision.

Feel free to contact us with more questions!

Karen and Ralph

Here's a couple more public questions to some PM's....the fuel capacity is 250 gal and the tanks are almost full...so that's close to a grand worth of fuel.

We have insurable through Foremost. They recognize it as a Motorhome and we pay $900 a year for the insurance.

Asking price reduced from 45K, now to 39K.

Thanks!
Karen
