Woh, that sounds brutal! I can just imagine going up a hill with that camper. Reminds me of a nasty steep curvy hill on a 2 lane secondary road that I just managed to clear with the MB camper with all its 68hp! Finally had to downshift into 1st, with a whole lineup of cars behind me, and just barely cleared the crest of the hill, praying and cussing at the same time . Man that truck was slow, but a thing of beauty inside, all wood cabinetry, old-world craftsmanship. And those large 70's MB delivery vans were built like tanks! Ahhh, memories...
