In a bit of reverse symmetry, I was going to buy a 4-Wheel camper back in ‘99. Even visited the factory, since I’m in Northern California. Then I looked into SMB’s and decided that was the better choice for me. Different strokes and all that… Love your build and attention to detail btw, but you...

Definitely no small undertaking. Maybe they could do the frame and you do the box?

I see the same. Don’t really get it though. I like to camp in all weather. A rig you have to get out of to get into - especially in pouring rain - wouldn’t be my first choice. Plus they just seem unwieldy, big and tall and wide, yet with less usable space. Oh well, to each his own I guess. And...

Maybe you can convince PathNotTaken to duplicate theirs for you?

My pleasure. I love the box they did for CalgaryMcLean. Love his whole build in fact.

How about Pronghorn EV in Canada? Mentioned in post #17 of this thread. It might be a drive, but your dollar goes further.

I suppose. But my ‘05 Tacoma’s are like new.

I had the same vacuum line experience with my ‘03 Astro AWD. I couldn’t believe it, they all basically disintegrated. I’ve never seen that before. Maybe it’s a GM thing.

Lord knows I can’t keep my foot out of that pedal. I’d have higher fuel, rear tire AND speeding ticket bills.

Whoa those are big numbers. What happens to fuel economy with a supercharger? I don’t tow anything, and I LOVE torque, but I still can’t imagine a scenario where I’d need that kind of power in a van.

That’s a concept, right? Because if not, I need to get to my Ford dealer immediately, if not sooner.

Fair, though for the record, that’s no small SUV. It’s basically a smaller box on top of a bigger box.

Geez, does it shoot gas out the tailpipe to propel itself? I had to pick up a part at the Toyota dealer today. They had a gorgeous new Land Cruiser on the floor. I figured it had a V8 until I got home and read it was the 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with 326hp and 465 ft-lb of torque. In that 5,100...

10mpg…ouch. Is that because you have to keep the revs up to move all the weight?

I would love to do a 10’ box van. I prefer less hanging off the back end, and even at 10’, square walls and perfect rectangle would leave me spoiled for space compared to my RB. I see you’ve gone through CaptainBuilt‘s thread. Have you checked out these others? Burlydirtyhippy’s V10/6R140...
