can’t decide camp in boat or another van or F250 TC
still can’t decide camp in boat or another conversion van or F250 TC
I’ve been using my 23’ cabin cruiser as a 3-4 day weekender on water I treat my vessel as a water RV for the last 4 years. 220 mile one way. going is downhill 240’ above sea level to sea level.
Initially been using conversion chevy express 1500 for Towing 3 of those years maybe caught a couple hours quick nap on the rear sofa the van wasn’t like a RV.
When towing late at night, say I arrive extremely late I’ll usually still launch however if the weather is nasty I’ll camp in the vessel plus there’s never ending stuff to be taken care of constantly like rigging boat and fishing stuff.
My objective is to fully camperize the vessel which includes but not limited to.
Galley w/ grill
AC powered by a 2K watt generator
House batteries for freig laptop, GPS & depth fishfinder interior /exterior lights ect.
Ideally I’d like to camperize both the express and the tow vehicle. Vessel has priority.
Currently deciding if I can get away w/ a larger TV like a F250 w/ flat bed bolting down a 2K LB truck camper.
main concern is w/ weight a camper effecting towability.
like when I read payload capacity of 2K LBs and 7K LB s towing can both be dune at same time?
