Chevy & GMC Vans

I toy with the idea. Then I take her for a drive and the idea disappears.....
Not to mention the fact that I'd have to paint a 2005 so's to match the Tramper.

he peter about tramper isn't the tongue weight pretty high when fully loaded since the wheels are located so far to the rear? i was thinking that moving the forward might me needed to keep the weight off the hitch, any thoughts?
it seems i'm going to be handed a 95 rwd stro with an engine that needs to be rebuilt to play with. since i like camping and i've loved the tramper since i first saw it i might as well take this van so the wreckers don't see it (feel like such a biter) the engine i wanna rebuild for a side project (i guess i had no reason to say all that.... meh)

Yes, the tongue weight is a tad higher than I'd wanted, but still acceptable. I think I was up to around 120 lbs or so empty but c/w full 30 lbs propane bottle, don't remember exactly. Loaded, I'm sure I go to around 200 lbs. I purposely try to load her in a way where the ice-filled coolers/cases of beer etc are at the far rear of the trailer. I installed my two 6v deep cycle batteries under the floor right before the rear doors to help offset the tongue weight as well, which definitely helped. I believe the recipe for tongue weight is 10-15% of total weight. I think the Tramper weighs around 1800-2000 lbs empty.

Peter are you loosing it?

Since when do Canadians use the term lbs? Whats next MPH, Deg F, inches (you already used this one), American Hockey player's?

BTW ZZ & Tramper rock!

Egg-sucking dog! How dare you insinuificate that I'm losing it?

I lost it years ago, dammit!

Petey, how could you possibly lose something you NEVER had?

For the First Time Ever...... Squidley, I agree with you.

When I met Smurfboy again in FL, and after a couple of conversations, I could tell......

Hahaha..... The Trailer Thingie is called Tramper, because Smurfboy is the Tramp that sleeps in the Camper.
