Outlaw /Funmover A or C? (8' x 5', 2000lbs in garage??)
I've been bouncing around between a lot of ideas on how to do our next RV. I think I've finally found our match. However, I have some questions.
1) Can I put a 8' x 5', 2000lbs load into the garage? If no, can I buy aftermarket suspension parts to increase the payload capacity?
I know it can be done because my current truck camper I'm going to sell to change RVs is over spec on the RAM 2500 it is installed on. There are extra springs and airbags installed on the Dana axle along with upgraded rims and tires. These easily handle the huge Arctic Fox truck camper even on a 2500.
Couldn't I do something similar to carry the additional weight in one of these RVs? Especially looking at class C models with the thought of beefing up the suspension?
2) Gas engine. What can I expect from a gas engine these days in terms of MPG fuel efficiency and general longevity? 200,000 miles until dead or? Also what's the cost to repower a V10 Triton with a new engine?
Thanks for any input.
