Nope, no problem at all. In fact, I gave SERIOUS consideration to this last year, and I'm still disappointed I didn't pull the trigger. I see motorcycle racing teams using those as they primary towing/camping vehicles all the time.

They're typically E-350 or E-450 frames, and other than the passenger body and TRUE rear-wheel dually they're full-up the same thing you'd buy as a van. Get the rear end tags to find out what the final drive is; your best best is the 4.30 limited slip. If they don't have the FD you want, don't worry about it, as changing one costs about $1000 using new parts.

As for registration and insurance concerns, strip out the seats and register it as a camper. You'll possibly pay less for reg and insurance that way, plus it WILL be your camper...

I'd say go for it. Hell, I may still do it myself, it would be the PERFECT RV and towing vehicle to front my big blocky enclosed trailer... - GA
