Who's owned an Isata 5 based on the Ram 5500 chassis?
I'm interested in the Isata 5 but can't find any unbiased information on it. A search of the class Class C forum returns only one incidental mention of it. Anyone have insight they can share?

Gotcha. That brings up another issue... You can't really air down 19.5" tires. Most brands the minimum is 45 psi. I researched this extensively a while back, because I was considering moving to F550 running gear. Buckstop makes a super-single conversion for military off-road tires, usually used for brush rigs, but I don't know if that's a feasible conversion for a motorhome.

Are you willing to downside a bit? An E450 4x4 conversion with 20" light truck wheels and tires, is probably your best combo for beach driving. You can run wider tires that will allow a lower psi, and you'll be ~5,000 pounds lighter to start with.
This one is from U-Joint Off-road, and the other option is QuadVan.
