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.

The SO asked me today, "what are you going to do to day"? I said "nothing".  She said, "that's what you did yesterday"! Me, "Yes love, but I was not finished yet"!!!!!!!!

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.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

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.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

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.
