My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

What engine is in the van, 5.3? It's good to know it's a good tow vehicle.......
It has the 5.7 Liter V8. Not so great for gas mileage but plenty of power to pull my trailer. The van ride is smoother and handles like the trailer is not even back there with its long wheelbase and short length from rear axle to hitch. The old Blazer ride was rough and, with the short wheelbase, very jerky. I did add a tranmission temperature gauge and extra transmission cooler for that extra measure of safety. And the van does get better gas mileage than the old Blazer with the same sized engine.
I enjoyed hearing the stories of your old van. Thanks and keep telling us more.
