Those photos seem to have disappeared. Hmm.

The AC-only fridge would be a deal killer for us, otherwise that's a really cool layout. Talk about counter space.

Larrie, the purple fold down couch sits directly behind the dinette along the drivers side of the van to the rear. There is storage underneath the couch, as well as a storage shelf above it.

Not sure why, but someone flagged my ad on Craigslist within a few hours of posting it and receiving several responses.

I had to repost with the following link:

GCVT, we thought the same thing of the AC fridge initially. However we have found that we are able to keep everything operating for 12-18 hours off the dual coach batteries, and of course the inverter keeps everything running (and batteries charging) while the engine is running. Unless you're going to be off-grid with no shore power, no generator, and no way to run your engine to charge up your coach batteries. Then yeah, a propane fridge would be nice, but personally I'd invest in solar panels to charge up your batteries constantly and never worry about AC power again.

Got any new pictures of this you can post?...sounds interesting.

On the fridge thing, I guess that could work with an inverter, etc. I'm frequently off-grid for three to four days at a time though. Hate running the motor or using our generator. How many amps does that fridge draw? My van was recently stolen and if yours was a Ford I'd be VERY interested. No Dodge hate though - had a Ram from 1997 to 2014 with the 318ci. Solid stuff indeed.

Good luck with the sale.

Figured I'll go ahead and post the rest of the pics here in case someone wants to flag my CL ad again...

The fold down couch in the rear is actually black, contrary to the purple tint the fluorescent overhead light conveys in the photos. There's ample storage underneath, as well as a handy shelf/hanger rack above.
