Nice work on the site Chris.

One of the options I've been looking at is a V4 clone with a Livinlite camper (http://www.livinlite.com/truck-campers.php) on the back. Once the bed side reveals are framed in & sheeted it'd make a great setup... I thought best way to mount would be a custom subframe that quick locks onto the bed and have that bolted to the camper. Once the subframe was made it could be sent to the factory for them to install at the same time as building the side boxes. Would make a long lasting robust rig :drool:


Another option were considering is an ambo conversion, Livinlite aluminium frame / composite cabinets would make an ideal fit out for one. Robust & no wood to rot... Looking at their toy hauler setups, it would be quite easy for them to manufacture and substantially reduce time from start to being out camping in it.

Thanks for the link! Much prefer aluminum...

Didn't take us long to put another van on 37's…..!!! 6.0 diesel, 8" lift, full 6.0 upgrade.

Began the next build today, 02 E350 7.3. Super nice van, going 6" on 35's with some cool goodies.

Full kit going to VA this week. Axle, fuel tank, wheels, t-case, everything he needs but tranny mods & driveshafts!

Here's a close up of our adjustable fuel tank straps.

Chris,have you dealt with any cab and chassis E350s like Uhaul uses?I have found a few reasonably priced.I was think of something like V4ish type set up with a flat bed and large slide in camper.

Sherpa progress has been slow, its nearly impossible for me to dedicate time to it with my workload at the shop (and home!) Found a few hours last weekend to start the stove/kitchen setup. My goal is to have it finished before the East Coast Expo in Oct. V4 will also be getting some serious upgrades.

Here's the stove! 30k BTU, 3 burners
