Man that’s fucking awesome! I just gave up trucking as a owner Operator after 16 years. The industry has just been ruined by new drivers destroying the freight rates and then covid made the shortages come and now the parts are higher than ever plus on backorder. I said I wanted to RV for a living in the next few years. I can do something like this and still somewhat be fulfill my passion as a trucker. Im only 41 now and I plan on retiring by 50-55. This is my dream rig right here!

Great truck. So big in person.

Rob quit telling everybody how much less expensive & easy to drive it is to use a tractor to haul your 5th wheel. You make it hard for those of us who know what a blessing it is to drive one to get a good deal. Kidding seriously I drove OTR, pulling a 5th wheel you can't tell it's behind you with that Volvo plus it responds like you're trailering a utility trailer behind a SUV. Hope to meet IRL keep living the dream Rob & Nina

This is, objectively, the ultimate RV setup, overall and in every detail. Pretty remarkable. I would love to meet this guy. Thanks for getting it on KZread!

We have had 5th wheels, but never a hauler like that! The ironic thing too is I drove "specialized" tractor/trailer part time. The specialized is "heavy/wide/long (oversize loads), some dangerous cargo, 2- driver for moving 24/7 w/escort. Driving this rig would be a joy!! Love the Jeep idea!! Not so sure about the low/back pin, but if it works for you, great!! Very nice unit!! Congrats!! 8) --gary

It's not a toy hauler. He carries the street rod to shows with the rig, but isn't pulling the RV. The jeep is loaded with the RV is attached.

Freight shakers- I'll have to look that up... thanks!

I used to drove a 2015 Volvo VNL780 in both tandem and single axle. The single axle much better fuel economy than the tandem and turning radius. The tandem axle handled the bumps much better. If your under 5’5” I always thought the Volvo drivers seat still sat too high even with the seat in the lowest position. The Volvo trucks are quiet but with most semis over time the interior will start to rattle a lot more.

Love the music at the beginning.

Thats a really nice Rig , turning it to Rv puller just wondering how much is the registration for that, compare to a pick up truck..

6 figures for a pickup. No way. This truck makes so much more sense. Love the fact you don't need a silly Smart Car as a get around vehicle.

Dude made his truck a temporary honeywagon !! Curious what the total cost was including purchase + repair/upgrades/customizations with the hitch and interior. I'd have a tough time getting into some sites, but I'd gladly pass that up to spend more road time in that rig. 🤣😂👍👍

He said it was called "hall fabrications". If you google "jessee hall fabrications" you'll find the people I think did it.

Those engines take 3 oil filters 2 fuel I big air, 42 quarts of oil DPF, filter and diesel exhaust fluid, DPF only new 5k.

Looks awesome, but with all those upgrades i bet he could have bought 2 brand new pickups over 100k.. but then he wouldn't have such a nice truck. Minus having to find campgrounds that he will fit in, it's got to be more comfortable to drive than a pickup

Beast and Volvo should never be in the same sentence

When money is no object.

Okay but what does that guy do or what did he do to be to afford all this? That would be the most important question.

It would have been helpful to know how many miles are on the Volvo when he bought it and what he expects to pay in maintenance and repairs annually.

I like the Volvo VNL series. For a big truck, they are surprisingly maneuverable. The extended wheelbase on this one eats into that somewhat however. With the 16L Volvo and 12 speed automatic, it’s an easy drive. And the 9 to 10 mpg on the flat is very realistic. Plus being a commercial truck, it has a very long road life capability. Oil changes and fluid changes are measured in gallons, not quarts. Your not going to be doing much off road, or “over-landing” with this truck other than groomed gravel parking lots. It’s just not set up for that. I got a kick out of the Jeep tail lights.

Were you required to have a commercial drivers license to operate this truck exclusively for personal purposes?

If you had my badass pickup sitting on the back of your rig people would think it was Jay Leno driving to a show somewhere...good job all around
