They are also talking about a new Grand Wagoneer in maybe 2020, or 2021. The leaked photos look like a big Grand Cherokee. Hopefully they change it to look like the Classic one...

Farewell good friend. You have been a great little motorhome. I hope the next owner enjoys you as much as we did.

Good, solid setup. I like the way they built their coaches. The aluminum sides and top are about as close to an Airstream type build that you can get, which is a rock-solid construction.

If it doesn't have a rear sway bar, you may want to add one. Lots of good feedback about improved handling when you add it to this chassis. I have also heard good things about the Banks kit for the v10.

Added my own quick connect fitting with shut off valve to that T fitting on the hauler. Modified the regulator (got rid of it) so I can run my Coleman Roadtrip grill off the RVs propane system. Actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Used the high density tape for the fittings and lots of soapy water to check for propane leaks. Good so far.

Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Hmm, I have a capped pipe with a shut off valve on the downstream side of the regulator on the motorhome's propane tank. I may have to do this mod. Nice work Rob!
