Excellent video and interesting product!
Hi Frank. Sometimes people tell me I make my videos WAAAAAAY too long. I am glad you found the video, and found it interesting.
Gregg
Good to see you again..
Hey Johnny - thanks for "seeing me again"! I appreciate the views and comments.
Ggg
Amazing mind Gregg... Kudos to you...
Thank you kindly!
Gregg
Finally someone tells the truth about carbon steel bed construction. Great video.
Hey Tech Guy! Thanks for the AWESOME comment.
Gregg
First class all the way Greg!
Hi There. Wow that is a pretty nice compliment! Thanks for watching and sharing such a nice comment.
Gregg
Great ingenuity. Like the look.
Hi Paul. I am glad the "look" is to your liking. It definitely has a bit different visual compared to the steel beds I have been building. However, there are some advantages.
Thanks for watching, Gregg
Top Notch!!!
Hey Jeremy - I am glad you like the idea!
Gregg
Great job, that new concept is very interesting. At this point, being so in love with your original design, I’ll have to see as new ones are manufactured. Thanks Kc
I'll make a video about the manufacturing process. Remember, this is just an ALTERNATIVE to the steel bed design. Can can still make that for you!
Thanks as always for your great questions and comments!
Ggg
like seeing a kid on christmas, great video.
grats on the new roof as well.
Thanks 👍
The red with the black is beautiful I want one like that thanks Greg
Hello Ed! I will make one for you! Let me know when I can deliver it to the big island for you!
Gregg
Wow! what a lot of information to digest! I love the modularity aspect of it. For those of us that want it all but can't afford it all at the same time. I will say, I never knew how much I liked the dove tailed rear-end before I saw this one without it. JMHO but the squared off rear-end makes it look a little "industrial". Can't wait to start my journey. Keep putting out these wonderful videos!
Good point about the narrowing of the bed at the tail section. The engineers and I went around and around quite a bit, and unfortunately the system doesn't lend itself to being fabricated with that angle. What was key in my mind was to ensure the engineering was sound, strong, and reliable.
Remember this is just an alternative. It certainly has a different look than we are used to. There are positives and negatives between the CANBed and the steel beds. YOU GET TO PICK! Every one of my RVHaulers is custom, and designed to meet your budget, visuals, and function.
Thanks for watching! Gregg
FANTASTIC product Gregg, sure got my attention! How cool is that! Seems pretty much like a no brainer. I would like to see the other videos you mentioned but don't see a way to get to them ... I must be blind in one eye and cant see out of the other :) . The steps are great, too! June had a hip replacement and this I expect would help her out. Looks like they're doing a nice job on your metal roof.
Thanks for watching my videos!
Ggg
Wow! One of your best videos yet! I watched the whole thing because it was that interesting. I would love to have the opportunity to purchase one of your haulers and to go through the whole planning and creative process with you so that "we" produce just the right hauler for my needs and budget. Plus, I would want a lot of your new gee-whiz goodies on my hauler. Thank you, sir! PS -- As I recall, the last video I watched was a couple of weeks ago, and you were wearing shorts. In this video, I got to see the Alberta I was expecting. 🙂 Lou from Georgia.
Ahhh, you are certainly sharp-eyed. The reality is that we are a small company. I am the guy that answers the phones, gets is hands on RVHauler builds, trains customers, and designs the RVHaulers too. Plus, I am continually looking for ideas on improvements. AND being a husband, father and having our own lives and travels and fun needs time too! Finding time to video, edit and publish videos is sometimes a challenge. Sorry I can't always keep the weather in mind when I get some videos out there!
Gregg
That is a very nice looking truck. Nice product. No rust means if you wrap it you do not need to worry about it rusting under the wrap. Be safe.
Ahhhhh, good point! I hadn't thought of that one! Gold star to you sir!
Gregg
Great to see there giving new life to these retired semi trucks, looking to have one for my wife and I as I am a commercial license driver
HIS and HERS Rvhaulers!
Ok, you guys are going to be the absolute coolest RVHAULER couple.
It was awesome talking to you today Mike! 4 kiddies, 5 dogs, mom and dad.
This is a reality TV show for sure.
Thanks for the comment! Ggg
Hey gregg, congrats on your success, and thank for sharing all this videos.. you're a very inspiring dude!! When I retire and get into RV'ing.. im defenetly coming to you so you can build me something.. stay warm! Heyyyy.. I want to see bonus videos.. LOL... just kidding you do enough sir.. thank you
Oh man! The pressure - more videos!!!
I need time to work too!
I promise I'll finished editing the break-out bonus videos for you.
Thanks, Gregg
Very Nice!
Right on! Glad you liked it, and it sure is nice to see you take a moment to comment. I appreciate it!
Gregg
brilliant!!
Hey there! Thanks for the nice comment!
Ggg
Love all the new products, your craftsmanship and dedication to the HDT RV market, you are making the HDT RV world a safer, better place, with products priced so everyone can get in the HDT game!
@@KaplanCycles i agree 👍
Love the new decking Greg That's exactly what I want for my truck when you build it for me that will allow me to put Cindy's car on the back her Kia Sorento and still be able to go ahead and save some weight I think that is a fabulous product I can't wait to see what my truck will look like when we build it with you
Hi James,
I am glad you like the new bed system. It is an alternative that saves quite a bit of weight. In particular when we get into SUVS and vehicles heavier than the Smarties, we start to think about our overall weights. It allows us thousands of pounds of carrying capacity we can allocate to things like your Kia, or a Jeep or maybe a BRONCO?
Thanks for taking the time to comment James.
Gregg
I like it!
Hey Hacker! Thanks for the comment , and for taking the time to watch my video.
Gregg
Very nice… I’ve been intending to build my own for two years but failing the ‘ambition challenge’. I think you’ve just convinced me to have you do the project. I’ll be in touch in a couple months. Thank you for all that you do…
Hello Dan! You mean one of my videos worked? Right on! My phone number is in the description. Why not give me a call and we can start a bit of brainstorming. Thinking is free sir! It is never too early to start thinking ahead and making plans.
Gregg
@@rvhaulers sounds good… I’ll put some thoughts together and give you a call in a day or two.
Hey Gregg I had a thought for you in regards to the bolt on stairs (great idea BTW). How about a pet ramp/ stairs that can clamp or pin onto the stairs? I know there are many folks out there that have pets. And with the fiber material they would be super light to pickup and install. I bet you could make a hanger for them on the side of the drom box where they are secure with quick access.
Very cool idea. It is viewers like you that often come with the awesome ideas. Ill see what we can create! You deserve a commission!
Ggg
@@rvhaulers I like commissions 😎some day I’ll have you build me a bed
@@rvhaulers I just got a ford f350 and the bed is stupid high. Going to a flat bed with side boxes sounds mighty interesting to me.
Me being a truck driver for 34 years I love what you can do to a Bobtail Semi to go RVs. I love the box.
Hey Scuba - thanks for watching and taking a moment to share your comment. It is always nice to hear from the professionals who know all about safety and hauling.
Gregg
Nice
Hey thanks!
Gregg
WOW...Great job Gregg, you have come a long way since my visit when you showed me the FRP product. I can vouch how strong this product is from my experience in the mining world! Will you be doing storage boxes too at some point...imagine a complete rust free build front to back? Fresh/black water tanks? Oh great now my mind is racing!
Hello Dan,
Yes, we are expanding our product applications every week. We are even developing a light weight strong CANDrom box! As a small niche company, we have to balance our R&D time with hands-on builds for customers.
Thanks for your continued interest and support!
Ggg
@@rvhaulers Was the Volvo in the video singled short? It seemed shorter than the Kenworth or other builds but it could just have had a longer ramp?
That looks like a sound product shame the RV industry dont use it for floors instead of rotting plywood < ref Airstreams / but even they have gone composite > Yes there is nothing worse than a bed with rust streaks showing next to a mirror finished tractor cab , out of curiosity what was the board designed for, also whats the fire proof propertys or is it just coated retardent, will the bolt-heads pull through this product in time , it would be nice to see concealed fixings on the skirt of the bed instead of exposed heads . Sorry to ask a lot of questions but its an interesting product overall very impressed.
Congrats Gregg and great to see this. Can't wait to put our order in. Can you add that link to materials you mention in the vid?
I had soooo many people ask me to publish this video, even though I didn't have all the break-out videos done yet. Taking care of client scheduled builds cuts into that video editing time. They are coming.... sorry to disappoint and not have them all done.

Suggestions. Lower your wireless microphone 6 inches (15 CM) and use the gain button on the wireless receiver, mounted on the camera, to reduce your gain.
Hello CFP. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom. I am looking at the wireless receiver now!
Ggg
@@rvhaulers I would need to know the model and manufacturer of the mic and receiver. A very common receiver has 3 buttons on the bottom. One of them is labeled gain and refers to "0", "-12" and "-24" db. Check the operator's manual. You may be set at "0" db and need it to be lowered to "-12" or "-24" db. It may just say db. Also, placing the mic over your chest sternum adds a bass sound to your voice. Lowering the mic placement will give you a more natural sound. Some people like the sound, but for people that are hard of hearing, the lac of high frequencies from your voice, make you hard to understand. I think some of your viewing audience may be up in age. I have been an audio engineer and television editor for 45 years.
Hi Mr Gregg,
I am interested in the rust proof Canbed. I have a 2013 Kenworth T700 with tandem axles. I would not need a 5th wheel trailer hutch as I would be towing using a bumper hitch for a travel trailer. I would want ramps to be able to load my vehicle from the very rear.
Your last few videos have really been inspiring for our future RV puller! What is wait time for a new truck ordered from you?
Hello There RV lifers! I am delighted to say we can move our RVHaulers through our production schedule quite a bit faster now when folks choose our CANBed option. They are much faster to produce and get on the road for my clients (compared to our steel beds). I can build a bed in as little as one week. The conversion and prep can take around 3 weeks. Overall, we can get one finished in a month.
Also, this has made our "wait-time" overall much shorter too! I can get you into a production slot in just a few weeks now!
Please note that if you add other fancy features and customizations, it can take a bit longer. Things like generators, camera systems, custom graphics, and painting can add a few more days to a build.
Keep these awesome questions coming!!!!!!
Gregg
Can the Bolt heads be counter sunk to give everything a cleaner look?
Hi Tim,
The engineering is very specific and does not allow us to make changes that might change the strength or capabilites of the CANBed. By counter sinking the heads, we remove some material. My New York engineers were careful. We even have torque specs for all the bolts.
Thanks for the great comment and question!
Gregg
Semi Truck conversions, hi guys... i have a question, im considering buying a hdt for hauling my rv, how much does it cost to remove the rear axle and add the brake controller?
Hi there, give me a xall and I can help with all your pricing questions.
Gregg
Does reducing the weight of the bed affect the traction of the rear screw
Yes it will. Any time we reduce our downward weight force we reduce our coefficient of static friction (traction). However most of us LOVE to load up our rvhaulers. If we reduce the bed weight with a CANBed, we can carry more weight in toys and tools?
Ggg
Any thoughts of installing a EV auto charging system on the bed of the truck to charge the EV auto while on the bed when traveling? Or e bikes or electric golf carts?
Great question and observation thanks. The owner is actually putting and integrating a huge battery, solar, and charging system into his Luxe. The thinking was sometimes we might not be able to keep the rvhauler with us in our resort site. By having the systems in the Luxe he can always keep his toys close, and keep them charged.
Keep these great questions coming!
Can those aluminum ramps be built instead with this "new" FRP system?
That would make them even easier to move/carry than the aluminum ones..
I havent yet directed my time towards this. Yes that is my wish. I have to work very carefully with the engineers to get sign-off on the capabilities and long term reliability.
Have you figured out how how to either make time stop, or add a few extra free hours into the 24 hour clock? I'm looking for some spare hours.... ha!
Gregg
@@rvhaulers LOL! Yes, I have a team of engineers approaching final sign-off on that...
@@rvhaulers Keep up the great ideas, the great research, the great production, and, of course, your great YT content!!
Seeing that they no longer build smart cars , where do you get one for your rv hauler.
Hi There, Yes, smart cars are no longer manufactured, and they are becoming a bit harder to find in the used market. There are definitely available, but the selection is a bit smaller than years ago.
This is why we look to loading other vehicles now! Fiat, Mini, Jeeps - we can do that instead - they just get loaded length-wise.
Thanks for the question - Gregg
hmmmm....no rust, modular, lightweight & expandable!!! Whats not to like? So whats the process here sir...shoot you an email w/my truck info?? Really interested in this. And thanks for sharing & everything you do.
Hi George,
My email is on the website, and also down below in the video description. I would certainly be interested in hearing about what you would like to see.
Gregg
Now that's some expensive LEGOS!🤭🤭🤭
Hi Ronald, Yup, 54 years old and this guy is still playing with LEGOS!
Ggg
@@rvhaulers Nothing wrong with that Sir!
It’s LEGO. Never LEGOS.
LEGO. Is both singular, and plural.
That Ruby RV Hauler and I will talk to my wife when she get out of the military and I want me RV Hauler just like Ruby okay and I like everything on that RV Hauler okay
Hi Melvin,
Give me a call when you folks are ready! I'd love to help get you on the road safely.
Gregg
Hi Gregg
What is your phone number so when I get ready to call you and I am waiting for someone to get out of the military now and I will tell her about you guys and I will show her a video on what you guys do with the trucks okay
