    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    I spent some time on that thread. That was/is amazing. Have you had a chance to tow that 5th wheel much? How does it ride? Although I can manage some basic fabricating/welding I think a project of that magnitude may be beyond my abilities (I know, i should turn in my man card fo admitting...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    These are some great points. Especially about all the maintenance. If they are really that unreliable, you are probably right, this may not be the way to go. As for the speed, that is not really a concern. I live in Boise, ID and we have hundreds of campground and hunting locaitons within a...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    Spoken like someone who has a wife and at least a couple kids!:lol: Comfort would be nice, but most important (after safety of course) is that it fits the whole fam ****ly. There's got to be something out there that can tow a 5th wheel that also can seat 7 people. If it's a little loud and...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    That is exactly what i would do if kid number 5 (aka oops) didn't come along. Now that we are a family of 7 we don't fit in the F350. I need to find a 7 passenger vehicle that will tow a 5th wheel.....that's not too much to ask is it? :driver:

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    This is exactly what I need assuming you could have a 4 person bench in the back seat. Is this your rig? Where do I find one like this and what do you think it would cost? Sorry, i just realized it didn't bring over the photo i was referring to. Someone posted a picture of a rig (don't know...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    Sorry, I am really new to all this. Is a 6 door something similar to a M35? I am assuming, if it has 6 doors the whole fam would fit in it, could it be fitted with a 5th wheel hitch? Could it tow 15K lbs? I'm intrigued.

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    Took the words right out of my mouth. That is a big part if it, is it would be cool. The other part is, my $10-$12K budget is coming from selling my F350 for about $26K and from that I will have to get my little commuter car and something to haul the 5th wheel that can fit 7 people. Would...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    When I get home I will go out an measure it. I was thinking that may be the biggest problem is the height of the m35.

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    Here's the deal. I have a 15,000 lb 5th wheel camper, a wife and 5 kids. I own a 2009 F350 that I drive everywhere just so I can pull a 5th wheel on camping trips about 6-7 times a year. Would it be possible to take an M35 or something similar, and add a 5th wheel hitch as well as an...
