Just buy a small older class C, so it won't feel so bad when you beat the tar out of it. I've seen them in some surprising areas. Keep the rear overhang short.
The weight distribution on a class C should help with getting enough traction. If it doesn't have it a limited slip diff would be helpful.
Not a bad idea, really. Could still put a winch on it and whatever.
The reason I didn’t go Isuzu/Fuso with travel trailer box is they are no good on the highway according to the internet. Lots and lots of mechanical problems with those trucks if you do highway driving. They are designed for in-town use in urban areas, mostly and wind out at high RPMs struggling to reach 70mph on the highway. I had tried to find a suitable cab/chassis replacement that could fit a 25ft box for similar money but could not.
I also had some thinking time about gas vs diesel and decided I don’t care which. I’ve had some awful problems with automatic transmissions over the years, so I hope to get an Allisin or something good like that. I wish I could keep my current manual transmission. That will be the bad part of changing RVs. Losing the reliability of my manual transmission.
