Nice find Brian. I love Chateaus as well. I've had one, a 92 that was in phenomenal shape except for the tired 460, so we parted ways. I'd love to find a v10 and that one is a steal!

What sets the Chateau apart from normal passenger econolines?

They're french-er
.Is there a better place to look than Craigslist and eBay for a high top late 80's/early 90's class B, something similar to Boomer? They are understandably getting scarce, just trying to make sure I've covered my bases while looking.

That is really cool.
How is the 5.9 in such a large truck??
I'm sure it could be converted to 4x4
At some point I'd really love to do a 4x4 mdt.

Yeah, I really like it too. I emailed the owner, asked him to post more photos and details and let him know it was cross posted here. Sadly it doesn't look like he did the updates.
I'm working on some community DIY projects over at astrosafari Herbie, pop top and kitchen... stop by sometime and check 'em out. Love to get your feedback too.

The Chateau models were produced by Ford, not an aftermarket converter, although many think they are done by an aftermarket converter due to being setup exactly like a late model 'custom' van. They're all Ford, though, and much less over-the-top (read trendy) interior upholstery and trim. They all have 4 captain's chairs and a rear bench which converts to a bed, just like a custom van, but the rest of the trim, windows, etc. are just like a Ford passenger van, meaning simple. They are also fairly rare, not many were produced. The thing that makes them desirable to a lot of people like us is that they're already pretty much made for travel and camping, with seating for 7 and still lots of cargo space, rear air, rear bed, etc.

You could try on the Facebook group "van-list". They often come up with some nice older rigs...They're french-er

Or maybe something a little closer to home? http://boise.craigslist.org/rvd/5718235540.html

$23k. I really like that one, but yeesh, that's a lot of money for a 20 year old van.

I don't know what this guy is smoking, but that is an extended van. Unless, he means it's not an extended wheelbase.
