The only problem with this strategy is finding a replacement vehicle down the line. The inventory of HD Suburbans gets more and more limited each year. The main reason we are babying our Suburban is that 2006 was the last year anyone made an SUV with those capabilities. As a family of 5, a pick-up is really not an option for some of the longer trips we like to take. We have gotten a great 6 years out of it so far, but we know that if our Suburban dies our camping will be severely limited, if not entirely ended, until the kids are out of the house.
Um, the Suburban HD is a current model. I can get a 2018 now, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a 2019 next year. Yes, the 2500s are dwindling, but the HD is new/current manufacture.
