Hi everyone, I know this is a tough thing to do, I've spoken with a few people and did quite a bit of research. And despite all the odds, something inside me will not stop thinking about this until I have either done it or ...... I'm sittin in a big mess with empty pockets.
My RV is 10,500 lbs. dry weight. The engine and Chassis are built for 1 ton (12,000 lbs.) Smith Electric builds electric motors for delivery trucks that weigh 16,000 lbs +. http://www.smithelectric.com/ Used by companies like Coca cola, Frito lay, Fed Ex, etc. Supposedly they get a range of 150 miles.
I was wondering if I used their motor, if I could get a further driving range since my vehicle is about 4,000 lbs. lighter?
Does anyone know of anyone who has done an RV Conversion?
With the cost and not really having a place to do the conversion, this is all very overwhelming but there is a drive that eats at me to do this some how some way. So if anyone out there has any ideas or positive motivation for me, I eagerly await your response.
