Hi together
Someone maybe remember me on my last thread about a towing vehicle.
Now i'm back in germany with my combination. F350 SC SB and BH 3755FL.
It was quiet a hard fight to get the combination on the streets in germany. But I almost make it.
The F350 is street legal now. It has yellow flashers, full airride, new odometer and what ever it needs. And an air supply system for the trailer brakes.
The hardest fight was to reach the length limitaion of 54ft an 2". I had to push the fifth wheel hitch 1" to the front to reach it. The hole combination was 1" too long.
The rest of the BH 3755FL is nearlly also legal. New electric with 230V 16A 50Hz. Power Inlet is a 230V 16A with out the ACs or 380V 32A with both AC's. New gassystem, because plastic tubes are not allowd here for gas. New TV System with autotrack Sat-Dish and other parts.
At least I spend 17000$ for the conversions.
But the is one last thing do. The brakes of the Fifth Wheel. I had done the EoH Conversion in the USA an it works really fine. But it don't reach the german rules.
I must build in air brakes. And not any kind of air brakes. I must build in a 2-Line Disc airbrake with Antilock and automatic loadsensing brake valve. Like in every commercial huch semi-trailer.
Of curse i can go to the next Truck and Trailer Dealer and let a german system build in. But its extremly expensive and they need to cut things away at the frame of the BH. Everthing new. New axles, new suspension, new rims, new tires and so long. In germany is the Disc, Hub and Rim-center one unit. The truck rims has a boldpattern of 250-300mm diameters.
Is over there in the USA a airbrakesystem with Discs, Backplate and Caliper the will fit into the Hispec 07 8 Spoke 17.5x6.75 Rims?
