THE TURBO DIESEL VIXENS ARE 6'4" HIGH OUTSIDE WITH THE TOP DOWN, AND PARK IN A STANDARD GARAGE. THEY HAVE A FULL SIZE DOUBLE BED PERMANENTLY MADE UP IN THE REAR, SHOWER, FRESH WATER FLUSH TOILET, HEAT EXCHANGER SO ENGINE COOLANT HEATS FRESH HOT WATER WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING, DIESEL FURNACE FOR HOT WATER AND INTERIOR CABIN WARMTH WHEN CAMPED, INVERTER THAT PRODUCES 1200 WATTS OF 110V ELECTRICITY FROM THE TWO DEEP CYCLE COACH BATTERIES, DOUBLE BASIN SINK, 4 CU FT REFRIGERATOR, MICROWAVE, DINETTE THAT MAKES INTO A BED FOR TWO, AIR SUSPENSION WITH FRONT AND REAR AIR COMPRESSORS TO MAINTAIN RIDE HEIGHT AND THAT CAN ALSO BE USED TO LEVEL UNIT IN CAMPGROUND, 4 SPEAKER STEREO SYSTEM, CLOSET AND STORAGE SPACES, DUAL HOLDING TANKS, 23.5 GAL FUEL TANK, TILT AND TELESCOPE WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL, ELECTRIC MIRRORS.

FUEL CONSUMPTION GENERALLY IS BETWEEN 19 AND 21 MPG. ON BOTH THE DIESEL AND GAS POWERED UNITS THE FACTORY RECOMMENDS A MAXIMUM TOW WEIGHT OF 2000LBS.
ON MY UNITS I HAVE MADE MODIFICATIONS THAT I AND OTHER OWNERS HAVE FOUND TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR COMFORT, SAFETY, OR TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF VARIOUS COMPONENTS. PROTEC ANTI FRICTION METAL TREATMENT IS ADDED TO THE ENGINE OIL, POWER STEERING AND TRANSMISSION OF EACH VIXEN. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES WEAR OF ANY LUBRICATED MOVING PART. I ALSO USE THE PROTEC FUEL TREATMENT FOR EITHER THE GAS OR DIESEL ENGINES. THIS BOOSTS OCTANE (OR CETANE IN THE CASE OF THE DIESEL FUEL), CLEANS INJECTORS AS WELL AS REMOVES WATER CONDENSATION AND HELPS THE FUEL ATOMIZE INTO FINER PARTICLES FOR MORE POWER AND CLEANER BURNING. I AM A LICENSED, BONDED CALIFORNIA CAR DEALER. BANK REFERENCES UPON REQUEST. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL. I DESCRIBE EACH VIXEN AS ACCURATELY AS I CAN BUT ALL VEHICLES ARE SOLD ON A "AS IS" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY.
