I went to test drive it, and when I got there it was out on a test drive and then the guy came back and bought it! Seemed like a toyota dolphin, but smaller. Cool build, had potential. The sunken area was just at the back. Some have a hatch/storage there. Ceiling was under 6', I had to stoop a...

I briefly looked at one here in Oregon. The weird thing with that build was that you stood in a sunken area at the rear, btw the frame rails to use the stove/sink and still have headroom. So I'd want to know what the vertical interior height is on one. Other than that, it looked like a cool...

The hammock hanging from the grab rail looks like a great extra bed sleep solution. Also like the upper cabinet stuff storage.

64" Headroom in my old minimod. Only spot I could stand up was the stepwell.

Hey, you might be just the person to provide pics & info!

We’ve pulled off the leave town from work move a few times. Get everything in the rig in the AM, sneak out of work a little early, pickup the lady, and get out of town. Play it right and you beat traffic and get to camp for dinner.

I live near a van rental place here in Portland. They’ve got some nice rigs. I’ve thought about how nice it would be to rent one for a week and go on a road trip with minimal worry/stress and just enjoy the ride. But I’m too cheap for that...

Check out Pangle’s ambo. The guy’s a pro at this! My Perfect Ambulance Platform? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=7335&share_tid=193658&url=https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/index.php?threads/My-Perfect-Ambulance-Platform%3F.193658/&share_type=t

Ah, thanks. Wasn’t sure how these did compared to the 80s 4x4 Benz fire truck vans. Not fast, but will likely go anywhere!

Wow that looks great. Do these do well at highway speeds of 70-75mph+? General MPGs for a vehicle like this?

My 1998 minimod came with IPD sway bars front and rear. Big n beefy! It handled really well on curves. To the point I had to remind myself what I was driving up a steep twisty highway. I had some sway, but I think it was from old shocks. With that big, heavy box on there, I think a sway bar is...

Wow! Looking great. How long did the paint job take with the roller? How many gallons to cover? I was looking on their site, it's a little confusing as to ordering. You bought several gallons and then the pigment color, mixed & applied?

The dorm fridge + ever-lower-priced solar might be just as good (or better) of an option these days. The efficiency of the small arb/Engel/dometic/etc doesn’t matter as much if you’ve got solar panel real estate on the roof. Plus you then have more power potential if you aren’t using the fridge...

I see a lot of people using the dometic coolers. I’m in the market too.

Woah that’s a nice interior build. Big E450, what’s the GVWR on those? Does it include the O2 compartment filled with wood?

Looks great! I saw this Volvo breadbox in Iceland last week. Not sure what variant it is, but about as breadbox shaped as it gets!

I was just in Iceland and saw an early 90s VW van with the california sticker. Looked like an interesting trim package at the least. from wikipedia: "The name "California" was previously used by Volkswagen for the Westfalia-built campervans since 1988. "

Does that have a taller box than an E350 or does it seem like it visually because it's a pickup? "Standard" ~64" interior height or more like 72"?

Wow that's looking great. I really like how easy it looks to do underhood stuff on the pickup vs van. It took me awhile to get the alternator out of my '97 e350 ambo. So little room for that monster. On yours you just lift it right out! I think the 4x4 pickup ambo is super ideal. It would be...

Hey that GMC is ex-NASA! You can almost see the old decal on the door. 22k on the odo, 13' tall with the railings...! Also love this condition description for a 32 year old vehicle: "Repairs required including but not limited to: Seats worn." That's it...
