The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted February 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2020 There are only two members. Your beloved Dottie and Mudkipz are the only members so far. If you own a RAV4, you are more than welcome to join. No, Chevy, BMW, Subaru or Chrysler owners allowed! Beware, Dottie is actually the crazy member of this spectacular team of testosterone filled man babehs. Mudkipz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know yet which year Dotties is going to be. I miss my quick car but Tude really likes the RAV4 as she can actually get into this one. I just wish this one had a manual transmission; even if it would give us worse gas millage. Mudkipz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted February 27, 2020 Share #33 Posted February 27, 2020 50 minutes ago, maddmaxx said: Larger motor home with garage in back required. I don't want no Class A bus!. First choice is the Mercedes Sprinter based Class C (Winnebago View, Entegra Quest, etc) but the have towing limitation of 5000lbs (and lower OCCC load capacity) so focusing on cars in the 3000-4000lb range. A Ford/Chevy gas Class C are well proven with greater towing and OCCC, 8mpg doesn't impress me vs the 16mpg in the diesel Mercedes, plus that bulletproof Ford 6.3 V10 cowling intrudes in the passenger footwell, making tight (and hot) legroom. It will be replaced with the 7.3 V8 next year, well proven in trucks F chassis but no word if just plopped in or re-designing cowling on the E chassis. Chevy is OK but underpowered vs Ford, used on the 22-27 ft range looking at, but towing back to 5000 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
