🎥 SEMI RV Hauler like NO OTHER! // Tour this 37' long BEAST!
✅ About this video:
In today's video we are touring this 2012 VOLVO VNL780. This SEMI RV hauler has been customized from top to bottom. It's 37' long and it doesn't carry a Smart Car like most others, NOPE, it carries a JEEP! This is definitely a one of a kind heavy duty truck. You can buy a used semi truck, customize it and still pay less than a new tricked out dually. That's crazy! If you are interested in owning a semi, this video also talks about maintenance costs and timing. We have lots of information to share about this custom SEMI so let's get this video started!
💚 SPECIAL THANK YOU to our Patrons! You all are the best 💚

The Owner of that Rig is as unique as his Rig....
As soon as you said, "The Mayor" I knew you were at Camp Margarittaville. I've hung out with him. Cool dude.
He is an awesome guy 😊
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.
What a truck! 🤩 Great tour of this monster, and great job showcasing all of its amazing features. Thank you to the Mayor for being so gracious and letting us all take the tour with you. Looks like it was a fun interview!
We loved it and had a great time recording and chatting! It's a great truck and the mayor is a great guy! Thanks for watching!
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 TH-cam!
I couldn't agree more 😊 If you are ever in Central Florida, I'm sure he will be around. He's a great guy 😁
That is a nice truck with some super modifications. I love being able to haul something other than a Smart car on top. Thank you for sharing.
Couldn't agree more 😊
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
As a trucker i want that hood!!!! Now!!!! Love the build i dont think he could of thought of any else to put on it. Its perfect 🤌
Very nice rig and nice guy. Even matched the jeep taillights, 😲😁
You have to have matching lights! haha
Absolutely love Rob and Nina. They are great people and animal lovers too!
They definitely are!
Finally someone who built a bed on a Volvo that does not look like a afterthought. Nice rig on a D16 rare!
We agree!
My Brother is an Excutive in the Research and Development division of VOLVO. He has been with the company for over 40 years.
That is so awesome! Volvo is a great truck!
That Truck is Awesome, thanks for the ride along I am jealous, He is a great guy to give you a tour and a ride wow.
I thought you and Mike would like that truck! Love you guys. 💚
What a Beautiful Setup ,haven't seen anything so Nice THANKS
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
I've wanted to get a HDT to pull a trailer for a long time. I truly like to drive everywhere and something like this would be a dream come true...
That’s one neat unit I see lot of pride in this Truck Sweet ..The outfit is top shelf 💪💪👍👍❤️❤️😀😃🙏🦘🇦🇺
Such a nice truck and a must-see in person to truly appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
My favorite truck !!!! Great customization and 37 ft !!!!
the work they put into that is amazing.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen for a while .
It is a pretty awesome set up!
Good information 🎉
Met Rob at the Switch huddle. Chill guy and very cool rig
Great guy!
nice rig! looks great!
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.
As Mando says, “This is the way”. I want one of these.
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..
The condo cab 😂 people kill me
Awesome rig!!!👌🏿
Stunning.
Thank you!
Love the rig. Would like to know where you got the headlights from. What brand they are? We are doing something simalar to this with a 2015 VNL430 DD 16 / I Shift,
As a trucker I have always thought about this setup for a big 5th wheel
That rug is sweet 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
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.
I think between the Tampa RV show and the Huddle the Mayor has become a celebrity !
I think so too 🤣
What a sweet ride that is
It’s funny watching people being impressed with truck driver’s everyday life.
Just beautiful.
Cool!!!!
So cool! 😊
Awesome ride
It sure is!
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. 🤣😂👍👍
Love that truck! Go Big or Go Home!
You got that right!
Awesome
It's good to be Mayor! 👍👍👍👍👍
😁
Excellent vid. Have to subscribe!
thank you so much! welcome to the community!
Very nice tow rig.
Great set up to as a car hauler.
He mentioned he has a street rod and I am assuming the camping trailer is a toy hauler too so he can bring the Jeep and car along.
I like the Jeep and some money was spent on that too.
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.
Great videos I love y’all
Love you!
I have my class A CDL and if I were to get a camper/RV it will be a class 8 truck. I like freight shakers myself but this Volvo is extremely nice. I agree with him on getting a semi over a HD pickup.
Freight shakers- I'll have to look that up... thanks!
Very nice 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome truck.
We agree!
🇬🇧 That is one fantastic truck. As a retired truck driver just one thing worried me. No grease on that tiny fifth wheel. They seem to have thought of everything. 👍👍👍👍👍
They used teflon rings on the trailer side of the fifth wheel.
@@whitecrane3714 Thank you for the Information. Never seen them in Britain.
awesome video so I hope to see your hdt when you get it lol
Lol I don’t know if it will ever happen but maybe one day 😬
Truck drivers are the new airline pilots!
We were just at Margaritaville in Auburndale, seen his rig, that thing was sweet
Awesome!
Greetings from Cuba and many blessings 👍💯
Love the music at the beginning.
Thanks! Seemed to fit 😉
Such a cool dude!
Yes he is!
Good Volvo trucks 🎉
That keep is insane
HIghway driving in a big rig. No seat belts. lmfao. Don't even hit me with "uhhhh we were just in the neighborhood! Thanks for watching!" 🤣🙄
LOL- you win the comments for the day!
Now I want!
Same! ☺️
It is really hard to beat the i-Shift transmission in a Volvo semi, especially if it has the D13 engine.
I need one of these asap
I drive a semi coast to coast, I also own a grand design imagine pulled with a 2018 2500 ram, I think this video came up because just today I was telling my wife this exact thing, I want to buy a KW extended put a jeep on it and pull a crazy big fifth wheel rv
the phones are always listening! LOL
They thought of everything 😮
Yes they did!
👍 Cool
So cool! ☺️
Nice Guy.
Mentioned the "Bed Builder" as Jessie of "All Fabrications" any chance of finding out who and where that gentleman is??? They did a fantastic job with the Jeep Bed Conversion and turning it into a Single...Thanks so much for your help!
Hi there! Yes, his name is Jesse from Hall Fabrication in Lakeland, FL.
Rob Cornelious! How are you doing? Sweet rig!
I love the truck
We do too!
What is the overall length? This is the perfect snowbird setup.
Saw that rig at Tampa. Time for us to get one now. Great tour?
When does the order go it? 😉
One thing I take into consideration when buying an rv is what I need to tow with and once we are set up can I drive the tow vehicle around
Can you imagine trying to get a big rig through Gatlinburg lol. No thanks
You certainly limit yourself with a rig like that... It's great he has a Jeep to drive around once he does find the right park.
I luv that truck
us too!
Switch it Up has already done an extensive video on this including an interview with the owner and a complete walk through of the rig. 😂
Yep. We were there with them. Since we travel together from time to time you may see similar content. Love those guys! 💚 thanks for watching.
@onealmr 👎
@onealmr don't like it keep scrollin..
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.
So the truck owner compares pricing of this rig to a Ram pickup at about $100k. Cool, but how much more $ was the modifications to pull a Jeep and a 44ft. 5th wheel?
I love it Where Can I get Dux like that mine
Did the owner mention how much he has invested in the truck and trailer? An awesome set up, and I'm guessing around $250,000 for the truck trailer and other goodies.
Exactly! To buy the truck used is cheap, the way he rigged it costs big bucks.
Do you have to run a cdl for this ?
What about insurance? Do you need a CDL as well?
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.
Would like to know what line of work the mayor was in.
Haha this is my step dad Doug’s friend rob crazy this video popped up for me
great guy!
@@1StrangeAdventure he’s definitely a one of a kind guy.
What a beautiful rig! Would you be willing to share the contact information once more for the company who did the truck conversion/fabrication work?
He said it was called "hall fabrications". If you google "jessee hall fabrications" you'll find the people I think did it.
That's what I drive everyday 2021 Volvo 860 the biggest sleeper codo cab that Volvo makes
😂😂 have fun maintaining that thing.. no hate just facts
I want to do this but I have no idea about insuring it.
Were you required to have a commercial drivers license to operate this truck exclusively for personal purposes?
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
18:24 am I the only one wondering the mpg of this gaint setup?
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.
Thanks for the feedback!
With truck prices nowadays, I might buy a semi truck instead of a full size pickup truck
It's the same price or cheaper... 😳
Do you have to have a CDL and take a D.O.T. Physical To drive this rig?
No its called a commercial driver licenses for a reason
Do you need a CDL to drive it? Do you use electronic driver log? It has to stop at weight stations? Thanks, very, very nice rig, congrats.!!!
Most states do not require anything other than a normal drivers license. Because the HDT is not for commercial use, no driver's log need to be kept nor have to stop at weight stations.
No special license or logs required for Florida. Not sure if that's the case for all state though.
@@1StrangeAdventure as someone with a cdl this is a bit scary
@@juliogonzo2718 I do have also
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.
As aretired truck driver does this require a CDL and does DOT get and are required stop or crossing scales?
It's considered private and in the state of Florida it does not require a CDL. Not sure about other states.
I understand in Texas a class A motor registered in the state with airbrakes does.
As I have said in other videos about this rig great truck!!! But pulling a Grand Design what a let down 😢😢😢
Great truck indeed!
It's SEMI RETIRED! BAHAHAHA 🤭🤭🤣🤘🇺🇸
I watched this whole video and noticed a lot of misuse of words that is a standard sleeper for the 780 to you have to have a CDL to pull one of those it is standard 780 customized at the rear
Thanks for the feedback! This is very new to us.
When money is no object.
Yeah right! Won't pay $100000 for a pickup, which I agree with, but how much does he have tied up in that with all the mods that were done?
What a beautiful ROAD NUISANCE !!
It is a beautiful rig. ☺️
