    625hp is kind of weak considering 15 liters is roughly 900 CID and even at 625 you're not even close to 1 pony per cube .

    I showed this to my Grandma and she's really interested since you probably don't need a CDL to drive it. Think of how many people she can run off the road with that !

    I believe you better think again. 12,000 on the steers, and tandems at the rear? All that body? Over 26,000, I'll bet. And, with "AIR-BRAKES"... Aaaahhhhhh...Yup... CDL required. Not much doubt about it. The air-brakes alone require the "AIR-BRAKE ENDORSEMENT".

    I don't believe you need anything if it's considered a recreational vehicle which it may be. They seem to be getting away with calling things recreational vehicles these days. I'm sure that thing is way heavy. Probably has oak cabinets throughout. Some type of stone floors and counter tops.

    2nights edition of "fix that post".
    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.
