Dan,
Your minivan comment made me chuckle from memory of our Minivan Purchase...
We were seriously looking at buying an Excursion...went to look at some and ended up with the Minivan. I am very pleased with it pulling our 2,900 lb PUP over Monteagle (at 55-60 mph at 2,800-3,500 RPM's)
My pup has a King Bed, queen bed, oversized couch that makes a big single bed, and an oversized slide out dinette that makes a large full size bed. Wet Bathroom, shower, AC, Heater, fridge, outside grill and 15-17 mph pulling. Lol
My dream TT is an Airstream as well...I want a 1982-1988 34 Ft triple axel Airstream. They were a little lighter back in the 80's...before they went to the wide body design.
But, split bath, rear bedroom, dinette, couch, curb weight is about 5500 lbs on an 82 with a GVWR of 8300 lbs.
Should be a fun project.
Thanks!
Jeremiah
