flat tow a ctd?

Brakesmart Controller Says Elec Brake Short

I do love the dodge trucks I have owned but my needs are outgrowing a pickup. I'm also interested in saving a buck. My main hobby is rockcrawling and with that I tow alot and run with a group. So I need to be able to haul 2 or more rockbuggies and a camper. Truck prices just keep going up, so I bought a 1996 International semi with a stand up sleeper ( almost forgot it's an N-14 :p . This covers the ability to haul and also the sleeper doubles as a small camper. I have done the neccessary stuff to get it titled as an rv, but I'm not having luck finding decent insurance. Every one I talk to wants to put me in a commercial policy. What are these toter homes gettting insured as? I think rv's? I don't want to pay hundreds a month when the truck will receive less than 5000mi a year. I know in the TDR mag they are doing a story about a conversion of a T2000 kw. I have built a flat bed that goes on the back, over the tandems,and will be able to tow a bumper pull behind. the bed is also removable so it still can pull a regular semi trailer. just takes a forklift to remove. Can anyone tell me who does this kind of insurance?
 
A buddy of mine needed to upgrade to an F-550 to haul a 40' 5'ver. The Ford ******* wanted over $80K for a CC LWB model. So he bought a '97 Volvo with sleeper and 10 wheels for $25K.



BUT... . State Farm won't insure it for him. He's still trying to figure out what to do. State Farm said he had to find a commercial lines company... . sorry I'm not more help.

Go over to IRV2.com and ask there. I know there are several members there who tow with medium duties and class 8 trucks. I am sure you'll get an answer from one of them.

Bug truck insurance.

Check out rv.net. There are many large trucks registered and insured as RVs and RV toters. Also try truckconversions.net.
