Looks great. GLWS. Quick question regarding the Jeep. Have you gone off-road with the Jeep in tow? If so how did that work out? We are thinking of towing a Jeep with a larger truck but not sure it’s feesible.

It looks like here is still room to use a bumper tire mount instead of he door mount, or does the camper extend so a swing style bumper wouldn’t fit? Whoops never mind I see the pic above with the swing out bumper. LOL

Surprised about the tank capacity. Lots of fresh water but surprised about the grey. Is the black tank a 5 gallon cassette? If I recall you had a RT Sprinter before. We have a RT Agile and the one thing I would want in the next rig would be more black tankeage. I can typically find or...

Agreed. Turbo diesel and 4WD in America... very rare indeed. There was one that sold for almost 6 figures before. It was in better shape but still. If anyone wants one they should act fast.

Bump for a nice van. Add a Quigley if you need 4x4.

Wow really nice. Nice features, colors and finishes. If we were in the market thats a real nice setup. GLWS. Our next van would have a similar layout.

Interested to see some interior setups on the GFC (been working through the Tacoma World postings but haven't seen much on the interior side). I have seen the Vagabond builds (e.x. nice Goose Gear build). Do GFC owners typically just use a modular setup? I was thinking a setup similar to...

Yay! A new build. This will be fun. Can’t wait to see what you do.

Congrats on the sale. Do you have a build thread? I would be interested in seeing more details of your build.

It’s seems expensive for what it is. Not a lot of interior storage and ok tankeage. For 110k without the truck I expected more. For that money you could have a custom XP cube, Uro Camper (import required), and many typical truck campers including a side entry Alaskan for a lot less.

Another thing to maybe learn from the experience when traveling in remote areas is to fill the water tanks and dump the grey and black (or cassette in your case). Then you would be ready to go for days. We haven’t been that remote but with our Sprinter we dump the tanks before we leave in...

I agree with the Revel as a good choice, or maybe a used Sportsmobile? With your wife’s health issues I wouldn’t waste valuable time on a perfect custom van. If the Revel has most of what you want I would go for it. My wife has health issues as well so we decided not to wait for a custom...

Just used the link in the ad and it worked fine.

Awesome build as always! Glad you are selling so I can hopefully follow along on your next build... so what is the next project (assuming there is one)?!?

Found this posted on the SMB forum. Looks really nice and might be of interest to someone here. I have no affiliation with the advertisement or seller. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/d/1994-airstream-b190-class-rv/6708598536.html

There are US RV's that a are nice; depending on how you want to use them. We have a 2017 RoadTrek SS Agile (Sprinter 144 based) RV and it's been awesome. The van is a no-propane setup with Alde hydronic diesel heat/hot water, induction cook top, 4 AGM batteries, fridge, solar to trickle...

I see you have done conversions on Class C motorhomes... have you done or considered doing a conversion on a Class A built on the Ford F53 chassis?

I like cabover trucks and wondered if anyone built a camper or 4x4 conversion on a Ford LFC (e.g. Ford van or truck 4x4 components)? It looks like an interesting package.

Such a cool truck. The cabin is 15 feet but what is the overall length?

I haven't driven one either, but we have a 144 Sprinter based RV and love that size and driving style. The cutaway Sprinters are not available in the US with 4x4 and the modern diesels are a problem in S. America, hence the Transit option. For our off road needs I think a van based vehicle...
