Wow.

PS: The compartment in the rear bumper gets extremely wet and dirty in short order. I kept kindling in there until one day I opened it and it was encapsulated in a web of mold.

Where is your floor flange for your table? Underneath the carpet in front of the couch?
We did the tripod option with two different length poles, one for indoors and one for out. Stored under the couch.

On our first trip after picking it up, visited my sister, nephew can into the house and said "Who's tank is that out front?" and I immediately thought of Sherman Tank.

With water, propane, & gas tank all full and 2 people SMB said it would be 9500 lbs. Can't remember how big those 2 people are, but my wife and I total about 275 so I think that means we can bring more stuff.

I'll be passing through Mad City in a couple of weeks. I'll keep an eye out for Sherman.

Re: Meet Sherman

Steven, that's an awesome build and very similar to the floor plan I'm interested in (wife wants a rear bath). I'm also rethinking the PH over a hardtop for off roading. Would you be able to post or PM your build sheet/specs, please?

Again, great looking van!!!

Too nice

If we ever cross paths, please hide that shower from wife. We'll have to get a bigger garage.

Re: Meet Sherman

Just about as perfect a build as possible. Thanks for the many pics. I like your bath area. Very open but private when needed. More temp storage as well.

Re: Meet Sherman

Great rig. Great name. Great story on the name. Congratulations!

Thanks for the pics and for your offline help as I design my van. I hate to be high maintenance but would you mind posting a couple more pictures? I'd like to see what the gaucho looks like in the down position, from both the back and front of the van. Also, I'd like to see what the door pantry looks like next to the regular passenger side cabinets when the side doors are closed.

Thanks.

Dan
