We have two toddlers and 2 cats and 2 dogs. Not looking to travel the country in it. We are camp hosts in Washington in the summer and head to Tahoe for the snow in the winter* so only moving twice a year. We would be towing an Altima behind it as well. This one specifically is partially converted, which we would need to live in it right away so this is perfect. Listed at 10,700 but willing to trade our Yukon Denali for partial payment.
I'm just worried about all the threads I've read saying 5.9 isn't enough ..

The 5.9 will be plenty. i have one and it goes fast. Since your only taking two main trips a year, wont matter. a bigger engine like the 8.3 might take you up Donner pass at 55 vs 45 or something like that. The 5.9 gets better mileage the rest of the time as a nice tradeoff. Your tow car isn't huge either, so you wont even notice it back there.
I will say that 230k in a bus is getting up there. I would send an oil sample to blackstone before you put much money in it. Everything could be great on it, but you could also need to replace a lot as well. Check the belts, water pump, tensioner as those are wear parts. Have someone pull off the tires and inspect the brakes, steering and kingpins. Slide under there and top everything off with some grease. I do mine annually.
