Great idea, keep us updated!

“Agile” eh...yeah I was thinking maybe I don’t even want to lift it , just need 4x4 for traction .

They could, but they won’t. I asked last year. Clydesdale in Kamloops has a TTB option as well. We have one here and it sits low and rides really nice.

What's the gross weight on entire vehicle?

GVRW 10,050 lbs


1376 lbs max cargo weight


So I'm assuming it weighs around 8600 lbs


Interesting feature I realized yesterday: it has single rear wheels. I believe this will have better traction in the snow than a dually would, so maybe ideal for my application as a 4x4...

Looks like the "TTB" conversion is only about a 2" lift, probably ideal. Also realized yesterday, the unit has single rear wheels (better snow traction than duals?) , 5.4 efi v8. Welded aluminum frame, closed cell insulation, argon dual windows, heated tanks.


I'm not going to say the coach is as nice a shell as a bigfoot (not sure) , but this looks like a pretty good solution for the situation
