I use a 1987 GMC 3/4 ton with a truck camper in the back. It's little roomier then a suburban and has cook and bathroom facilities on borad. In my area we're really flood prone. I'd hate to spend a month living in a surburban. The truck runs gas with a 350 small block. getting parts for a small block chevy motor is about as easy as it gets<br><br>-p
