I have a 2002 Safari Trek 28 ft and think it would be very spacious for a solo traveller, even the 26 ft Trek layout would work well. In the case of the Trek's built on the P-32 Chevy / Workhorse platform for 1995-2003 then the Workhorse W series or Ford F53 after 2003 I think all P-32 models came with a 4 speed 4L80E or 4L85E (2003 only) transmission. A 5 speed and then a 6 speed were used on the later W series platform Trek's. As to the big V-8 issue, at least in the case of the P32 Safari Trek's there were 3 gasoline engines offered over the years, the old throttle body injected 454 for 95-96, the 7.4 / 454 Vortec mid 97-mid 01 then the 8.1 Vortec 01+. Over this 7 year span the Horse power went from 230 in 95, to 290 in 97 with the vortec series engine and then up to 340 with the 8.1 in 01 so as you can see there was a considerable capacity increase just over these few short years.
