Thank you all. Mixed reviews on Durango with unibody. But, I guess if it's rated at 7,200+ lbs., it should be able to do the job. Agree, 5.7 HEMI is the way to go.

Just read through your follow-up post. Think about a family of 4 along with a dog. You have to be comfortable to enjoy so I'm glad you found a camper that better suits your needs. For us, the 154 is...

We've had a SLX BH 154 for 1 1/2 years. Agree, one of my first modifications was replacing the very thin plywood with 3/8 inch under the seats. I also added a ladder to access the...

Thought folks might be interested in sharing some ideas of minor modifications to their rig. My family of 4 really enjoy the 154 BH Swift. I'm sure a 154 is a bit small for many but it works for...
