I used to have a week-long Class A motorhome but it was a bit too much for some some of the off-road excursions I took it on, and it was just too darn big and surprisingly it didn't have that much room inside, bad floorplan.
So now I have a nice 1985 Chevy 20' Class C, sleeps six, has DirectTV and a flat panel for the important Sunday happenings, A/C, cold beer, inside and outside showers, basically everything I need for roughing it, and it's paid for!!
I don't check the mileage because i don't want to know, but it gets pulled along by a 350, bored 60 over and stroked to about 383ish, Edelbrock Performer with a Quad, Thorley headers, Accel ignition, cammed, 700R4 tranny swap, it's getting an electric fan this week if I get ambitious and a couple of other mods. It's roomy, nice floorplan, can fit in a regular parking space, and did I mention it's paid for ~clap
There it is out at Blair Valley

I got it from a guy that got it direct from an auction, Ft Irwin I think. Here is a forum where you can find some info about the process. Buying direct from the govt is cheaper but a huge pain. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/ |

Got this a few weeks ago for a tow rig. Gotta love the Army. Locked dana 60's on both ends, 6.2 diesel and a pto generator. Lot's of room for my tools and camping junk.  So is a lift in the furture? or are you going to run it like that? Either way is pretty cool... Great support truck! |

Yes they do. Usually by the time a hummer makes the for sale line its pretty beat to hell though. ~tank |

Maybe some bigger tires, but it's pretty high as is. A little over 24" to the rear bumper. Thinking about swapping out the transmission for a 700R. It's geared at 4.56 so it revs a little high on the road. |
