Moby ******** (we call him Richard) Duramax turtle top van maiden voyage




Rolled up to the ghost town of Bonanza, near Salida Colorado, we really love the Duramax power plant and the turtle top, both awesome set ups. Even with a very high platform and an 8inch thick queen size mattress, the high top allows me (5'11") to sit upright on the bed with a foot to spare above me. The van weighed in at 7900 lbs with nothing in it but the bed frame. I figure loaded with a full tank, 20 gal water, food, 2 big ice chests, camping stuff, the camp kitchen, a family of 4, 2 dogs etc we roared over Wolf Creek Pass (10800ft) at about 5 tons of fun and more like 7 tons with the trailer in tow. I just added tint, bed platform, truck vault camp kitchen, 265/75/16 BFG ATKO tires, I have a 2.5 inch lift, Hella lights and some other goodies next. My wife and kids set me up with my very own footed camo jammies to keep me toasty and warm...
