I hold 100 gallons of water. Growing up, we had a diesel pusher that towed a 28’ trailer full of water and fuel for 7+ days in the dunes. It towed great and we never had a care in the world about the length or weight lol.
Just go the diesel route, you won’t regret it.
It’s normally the hitch and GCWR. My hitch is “rated” at 5000lbs, which is light for a diesel. I need to get my coach weighed to see where I actually am and what I can truly tow. Plus I can upgrade the hitch to match the tow capacity.
My truck weighs about 5500-6000lbs and there’s enough...
Thank you! I went this way because it’s easier to travel with 3 young kids + my truck was set up to tow. If we went the trailer route, I was going to need a new truck.
We just ordered a new trailer that will hopefully be done this week. Ultimately I went with a flat bed due to storage and size...
I hear ya, we will see. I love the look when it’s sitting there lol. I’m going around updating all the lights to LED and plan on doing some rock lights underneath. If we start arriving at night, it could change my view on the tint. Even with the mirrors out front, it’s a little bit of driving in...
A couple of updates. When I bought this, the previous owner did not disclose the back driver corner was pretty messed up. The colors were off and it bugged the hell out of me.
I had it repainted by a local shop and they did a decent job. Ultimately I would recommend them again and I have to...
The closed bow is my dad’s. When he ended up buying it (and at the time, @RiverDave ended up buying his 340 which Dave should have kept, but I digress lol) the 700’s were temporary suspended. So it was between 600’s or 860’s and at the time, Thane talked him out of the 860’s and he put 600’s in...
@JFMFG its not quite finished, but I’ll pick up my coach at Precision Collision in a day or two. Stopped by today and I’m happy with the look on a 24 year old rig.

There’s a few of us here in the Orange area. Most of the murals on the Safari’s are different. We were just in Ocotillo over President’s day. Other than that, we haven’t ventured too far.

@JFMFG i never heard back from my buddy on what he paid at Precision Coll. But I had my truck in there to fix some stupid thin GM paint areas and asked him about my coach.
When I bought mine, one of the previous owners hit the driver rear corner and whoever repaired it did a horrible job. He...
The short answer is it's a night and day difference. We have two 5.3's and now the 6.2, 6.2 is miles ahead compared to the others. After driving her car around last night, I'm dreading getting into my truck to go to work lol.
