Well, this escalated a lot more quickly than I thought it would. :) We set out today to hit a few dealerships to see some used inventory. First dealer we stopped at... looked at a hybrid we'd seen on their site, but didn't like the condition of it. Also on the lot was a 2012 R-pod 177... looked inside, great condition and roomy for how small it was thanks to the slide-out. Walked around the lot some more to check out some new pop-ups, went back and hung out inside the R-pod for a bit and pondered.
Ink's not on the paper yet, but we have an appointment on Tuesday to finalize everything, have them show me how all the systems work, and then we'll take it home.
:B
In the meantime, I'm working on adding a brake controller to my truck and appropriate wiring connector.
I'm aware it's a dog, and I'm quite ok with being in the slow lane with it. If we end up with more than one child, we'll probably want a different tow vehicle anyway, so this truck will do for now.

One thing to keep in mind the 87 to 93 TBI and 700R4 combo is a real dog for towing....They were sort of a stop gap between carb and turbo400 and modern fuel injection and electronic transmissions.

Be sure you have or add a transmission oil cooler and not just the one in the radiator.
