Some of us are also running older campers too!
Mine is a "72" El Dorado, and has been upgraded to Solar replenishment, and a newer holding tank, and toilet. If I can get water, I can even live in it for quite some time. I DO HAVE it mounted on my 2005 Ram with a Cummins, so no problem pulling mountains, and long distance. Wife and I did the 11 western states last year! Including Utah, Nevada, California, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, and Washington and Oregon.
I would look at the underside for any problems with seals on Diffs, and tranny before looking for a heavy camper though. Do you have a granny trans?
