thinking I'd be better off w/ a roadtrek or other chevy2500 mainly for tow capcity
My recent observations for the new van are as follows. Completely sticker stock even on none runnering vans.
1.dissapointed that chevy conciders a 2500series comes w/ a 1500 sized 4.8
The 2500 should have a 6.0 or 6.2 400 horse power
2.the road treks have way to much furniture and are weak tow vehicle at 5400LB 1KLB tongue weight due to this extra interior weight.
3.just noticed tire preasure on the 2500 as 50PSI front 80PSI rear.
Maybe this is why my 02 1500 express felt a little weak while towing .
I think I only had 40PSI front /45PSI rear
Camper van Concerns are as follows
1,smelly propane fumes for the stove top I think it heats water to.really what induction hotplate at 1300watts high or 600watts lower heat range.
2.orman generater noise.
3.just how much stuff can you operate off of 200amp hourslike refrigerator,
I desire a roadtech 21 popular widebody however at 8'9" it won't fit drive though resturants/car washs 9boat won't either) that only has overheads not full galley full closets I have in mind a minimalist weight reducing floor plan
