Just a thought.. If you're at all handy.. You could build your own. I'm a tear drop fan, and over on the teardrops&tinytraveltrailers forums tnttt.com there is a sub-forum about building using rigid foam. Here's a build about a foam camper on a Tacoma that came in at an estimated 400lbs...

Looks 'Factory' and modern!

If you have ryobi 18v tools, you can pick up one of these

Great looking rig! I've always wanted one of those, just wish they made a diesel version!

Looks great! Wish I had one like that in my driveway... So I could jump in & get away with style!

Hey Subaru wagon or Honda Element Owners... I'm in the market for a reasonable grocery getter as a 2nd or 'work' vehicle. Only catch is, It Must be able to easily fit two 8' long photo backgrounds (on tubes) inside (or on a custom built roof rack). Will they fit inside in a late 90's to current...

Jay, awesome machine you've built there, I admire your ability to plan and execute said plan. I even like the dino sticker, and for dealing with the nay-sayers: illigitimi non carborundum! Safe travels, and have fun with the home schooling!

I remember those popups based on the bus chassis. They used hard styrene foam with fiberglass over it, much like their 'tri-magnum' enclosed trike (motorcycle powertrain mated to a bug front end). Does that date me even more than remembering seeing them in the mag?

Vic, far too late at this point, but I'd have just grafted the nose cap onto the utility box once I saw all that rot. However, onward and upward! Going to be an interesting build, can't wait to see it finished. Oh and I found I had a picture of a 5er, not mine, but I had the same model. It...

Vic, I'll be following along as you continue your refit of the old shadow cruiser. I lived full time out of a 27' 5th wheel trailer from them. That very distinctive nose cap brought a smile to my face when I saw it. I was amazed at just how much rot was in there though, you're a much braver man...

Just caught up on this thread, great find and an even better job at refitting an older rig. I'm going to be in the market for a mobile office/rv and you've inspired me to now look at an older class B RV. Having seen the difference after you put down the new flooring, changed out the seats etc, I...

Following the link, that was just an artist's excercise.

Incredible build. Thanks for sharing! Your attention to detail is excellent, can't wait to see the rig when you finally get it finished.
