“Never overlanded” means never driven to work, a grocery store, or a campground, right?

“Super rare propane powered factory build! (Not a conversion) No gasoline means, no more smoke, no smell, no emissions, carbon build up, or bad gas additives. Its almost like having a Tesla Chinook.” Interesting

“My intention were to put these on my Mitsubishi Delicas or an S-10 4x4, or a Jeep” I’d like to see one of these on a delica. Might be tippy. Ultimate rig for a chinook shell would be a 70series land cruiser firetruck.

Leave no trace, that includes any incriminating evidence! They would’ve been better off just tossing it in the river than in that dumpster. Crazy how that all played out.

Every time I hear “Tanya” I think of the good ol’ dockside saloon in Portland. It used to be across the road & tracks from the docks. Now it’s surrounded by fancy new apartment buildings. http://www.docksidesaloon.com/aboutus.htm “Our real claim to fame was the finding of the Tonya Harding...

I like it. I’ve often thought a damaged suburban would make for a cool chinook/Sunrader/slide in camper swap. Hey, why not?!

Sold for 17k! With a diesel would’ve probably been 25k+

Yeah, it likely sold. Was posting that for people looking for reference info.

The ad is still up here: https://www.fordcamperclassifieds.com/1993-e350-in-glenwood-springs-co/

Cool rig. I’m guessing it’ll sell for 12-15k. **oh, just saw it’s gas. Hmm... real clean though, probably still get to that range.

Haha, read that this morning and missed it. That one flew right over my head!

Yeah, safety is nice. I had an ambo and a gutted chinook in the driveway for a bit. Was going to bolt a double seat with belts into one of them. Chinook was roomier, but really just a cutaway frame with some plywood and fiberglass on the back. Ambo is rollover tested, but short and not as roomy...

Born free has an upper bed “bump”

Oh, wow. That makes total sense now. The ones I’ve looked at were skinned with aluminum, ambo-style. I thought they were all that way. I wonder if there’s a weight savings with fiber?

Yep, it’s got the e-track bolts in the middle of each side, and also horizontally along the top of each side and door. And bolts run vertically along each side and door. Basically around every edge of the box and doors. Wonder if/how it’s welded? Bolts might be more of a headache if you were...

Interesting box on that. Lots of exterior bolt heads. More box-truck like than ambo-like. Most ERVs I’ve seen are more flush and smooth. Wonder if there’s other differences in construction? Guess Red Cross had multiple ERV builders. ERVs are cool. Go for it! Not mine, but shows the...

Would be a good ski RV, too. Especially this year with lodges closed. Not sure I’d want to drive this cross country though.

Clean machine! Nice write up: “Good luck on your van search. May God guide you far away from the sprinter and it’s high cost maintenance and lack of mechanics everywhere to work on them (believe me, I own one. It’s for sale too)”

Snow is soft, until it’s frozen into blocks of ice, or gets wet and heavy. I’ll take the bumps of towing on a gravel road over the shocks and jolts and damage of plowing into curbs, grates, expansion joints, frozen snowbanks, etc. Not to mention transmission issues from repeatedly slamming into...

I wish we were living in the future that this hinted at 42 years ago! Also, this is great: “It definitely got shaken apart somewhat on the bumpy Central American roads, but it's more or less ready to be lived in as of now.” Does that mean it will make it back?!
