The only two motor home conversions are ours. Another note is commercial tires only have a useful life of 3 to 4 years. Most cappers won't cap anything over 3 years old. Not good news for RV's. I changed 10 in 2009 that were 5 years old that looked brand new. Hope this helps.

Jeff:
Just curious, what kind of fleet are these 1500 trucks? Linehaul, Waste, Intermodal, local P&D?
