Huntsman88

Great pics....that's a cool pickup. Yeah that's pretty much the pickup. I figured the extra torque would be a benefit.....but maybe that wouldn't be enough. I hadn't done the research yet on HP etc. so thanks for that! I guess I will rule that option out. Check this one out that just hit the market! http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/rvs/5393695393.html Seems more enticing than the Huntsman!

Thanks for the response Ya Baby! My truck and camper combo can only do 55mph too (unless downhill of course). The transmission likes to chatter if I pop it into 5th gear on the slightest incline with the camper on the back. So usually im going 55 in 4th with the camper on......im also doing the commute in a very windy gorge....15-16MPG is about what I'm getting with the camper on my Toyota pickup (camper weighs about 900 lbs loaded).......I also know where I can get an diesel Isuzu Pup for the same amount as the MH.....That might be a better rig for hauling the camper.

Hi Linda, I'm just curious what you don't care for about it.....Do you think in a general sense its a good deal?

Hi Linda, thanks for the post. I don't have pics, but here is the craigslist ad http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/rvs/5358644448.html It appears the to have an updated 6 lug.....Another issue is money (as a broke student) I feel like this may be the only one I will ever see in my price range.

Hello all, I am not an owner of a Toyota RV. Currently I have a camper I put on my 1983 3/4 ton long bed (5-speed). However I have been throwing the idea around of getting a Toyota MH instead. I commute to a different city (about 90 miles away from my home) once a week. I am at school for 3 days a week, and use to camper to sleep in while at school. There is currently a 1983 Toyota Huntsman for sale, with 67,000 miles for $2500. Its looks to be in decent shape. I have had an obsession with MH's since I was little. So I fear I may not be thinking rationally! It would be great to get some opinions, Should I stick with using the camper (fear of wearing the truck out) or invest in this MH that seems like a great deal (I'm not sure what kind of reputation the Huntsman has on here)? Thanks for your time and input!
