Hello, and thanks to all in advance.... We are looking into fulltime RV'ing for a year or so and both have always loved the vintage RV's and AS expecially. Really enjoying the site - been crawling around it for a few days - so now registered hoping to make some contribution to it later down the road....
We are a family of 6 - myself, wife, three boys, and a dog.... wanting to give our kids more of a life and experience then what they are currently receiving - and a nice break for me from the labors of work and some quality family time...
Current TV is going to be a 2009 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Z1 4x4 - 5.3l - 6-speed trans, 3.42 (yes I know not as desireable, but the 6-speed helps "counter" this a bit) - going to add in adjustable rear shocks, HD trans cooler, TT brake controller, Steel braided lines (basically the equivalent to the Z82 K5L HD tow package from factory) - I mention this since the GCWR on the burb is 11.5K but with the Z82 the GCWR is 14K... and upgrading to EQ/load hitch.
While upgrading to another TW has been discussed - since the burb is almost paid for it makes more sense to keep this one - and we are not looking forward to three growing boys in the back of a pick-up on the trip (you know the whole he's touching me thing)
We are looking to go with a mid 60 to (possibly) early 80's AS - due to the lighter TW of the older models...and I have looked at several on-line and even interested in a few listed for sale through this site...
In comparing the older TW listings - these should be circa 5000 or less for the 25-31 footers... not wanting to break the bank - but looking for one that is solid and sound - no major repairs needed - and most 90%-98% ish upgrded - no major issues or repairs needed - mostly needing to add our "personal" touches to it...
We have considered looking around the 25/26 foot mark - and adding in the 5th bunk, or working out sleeping arrangements - but have seen a few 76-81 AS Sovereign 31's - which would fit the bill nicely - however I am worried with this length in some of the older campsites - also I am worried about being too heavy for the suburban at this length (however I do see pics of burbs towing these all the times - just never sure of the legnth) - more for the stopping then the pulling...
Again, thank you in advance for any assistance....
