Well, I am experiencing difficulty and frustration with chasing vehicles on Craigslist (expected, huh?) so I am broadening my horizons and considering other set-ups. Besides a camper van, I am open to a truck pulling a used little 18' RV trailer. I have come across a nice 2004 Chevy 2500 pickup (176,000 miles), a 1997 Diesel Chevy 2500 pickup (165,082 miles). My only concern with the diesel is that I am unsure how much more expensive it would be to upkeep and if it is turbo diesel I am shying away because anything 'turbo' has lots of upkeep needed at short mileage intervals.
I also came across a Chevy 2500 Express van (180,000 miles) 6.5 v8 diesel and a 2 inch tow hitch and thought, "hey, I wonder if I could use this as a tow vehicle, AND a temporary place to stay if my rv trailer is in the shop?!" Could I use this as a tow vehicle since it is the same size engine as a truck and has a tow hitch?
