that's nice

My nephew likes projects but no time and wants to do some thing like that. Just by a used one, they are a nickel 98.

That reminds me, did we see the finished pics of MsNomer's Ram? I haven't seen her post in a while, maybe on vacation.

Wow. How did I miss that one? Same vehicle as mine.
My van is 95% complete--just some cosmetics left. I have been tempted numerous times to add wood porn like the above example, but I early on decided I wanted bright and colorful with a 50’s flavor.

I may have neglected to post down here when my thread upstairs was updated.

We have put 30,000 miles on it this year. It is simply unreal how much pleasure I have gotten out of this project, both in making it and using it. No matter what the weather, from below freezing to 100° a couple weeks ago near Death Valley, we have been comfortable. With 300W solar, we can boondock until we run out of milk.

Winnebago is now showing one on a Ford Transit. The example shown is $125,000.00.
I would assume that you built yours for $124,000.00 (or a bit less).

That build is pretty much standard cookie-cutter and exactly what I did not want. Narrow isle, bed that must be made every evening. When one person moves around, the other must sit--I've observed the awkward "dance". Not as naturally bright as photos suggest. Also, there's a reason why 2/3 to 3/4 of European RV's are on the PM chassis.
I'm guessing my total cost is about a third of that.

All I can say is you did a wonderful job and I really like the Dance and it's wording. I really could imigian how nice it would be to travel in and get up and move and just being able to travel.
I guess I did my million miles long ago with the military.

DW has been talking about a small RV or travel van (B or B+ maybe?). Minimal luxuries, and minimal amenities other than a small galley, bed, and head. Something like MsNomer's would probably fit the bill.

The 50's colors and style works. But then, being a 50's baby boomer, I've always been partial to boomerangs. Could use a little atomic patterning, too, come to think of it. And some tripod or pole lamps.

But seriously, I like it.

A large van would be nice, but this size would suit me better.
