Clipper Questions

[<Jack>]

All

I am looking around for a "smaller" RV, one especially suited for surf adventures.  Anyway
the Clipper seems to be in my price range, and is "low tech" enough to handle mechanics in
Baja.  

So I read the post regarding Chevy vs. Dodge platforms.  One question, what engine options
were available for the Chevy?

I have also read different versions of gas mileage.  What should I realisticly expect with the 440, 360,
chev model?  Has anyone switched the engine over to electronic ignition or fuel injection?  
Has anyone seen any mileage improvements?  How about a manual tranny?

I also noted some ACs with gensets?  Is this common, and if so, what kw output do they have?

Were there differences in fridge sizes for the different models?  I want the "largest" fridge possible of course,
gotta keep the cervesa cold.

And I am sure this last question will spark lively debate, but in "your" travels, which layout
do you like for space, or would recommend?  My priority is living space, and not a
roomy bathroom.

THanks for all the help!
