Seriously looking at this 24ft camper setup. Older vehicle in great condition, suits our needs.
Would appreciate any advice on maintenance issues and any design faults.
This 454 Chev engine is pretty common amongst U haul pickups and many Motorhomes I'm told. Given its a truck motor I would expect it to be capable of high mileages at low RPM which in a camper translates into longevity.
Transmission could be a concern...in a truck I would expect a manual to be fitted with a much longer life than an auto.
The vehicle is 10 years old so aircon, batteries, fridge, stove, generator all need to be checked. All the normal bit s will be checked like tyres, brakes etc etc.
If anybody knows the techs of any of the gear on this rig I would really appreciate some comment. Also any alternative rig that may be better value or have higher integrity.
Cheers
Kevin
