Confused.....so the future interior build and penthouse top are part of the trade deal? Are you doing a CCV top?

This is where it got exciting - watching the RB50 clone interior take shape

One of our easiest decisions was ditching propane appliances in favor of more efficient options. We toyed with the idea of an auxiliary diesel tank for Espar equipment, but Wolf (Truma) recently released a gasoline-fired air and water heater that we opted for. Fit the design like a glove, took up half the space of propane bs, and all plumbed off the gas tank. “Very nice” -Borat

Jim’s final touches - after this I had to get the van back to SoCal for the real finishing touches (paint, more Aluminess, stereo, and so on)

Picked up the van and spent a night on the drive back at Lake Mohave, one of my favorite spots for spring/fall

Final touch was converting to a sealed beam front end so i could run Rigid LED headlights

There was no curbing my enthusiasm

Very nice! Loncoin on the cabinets is very interesting......looks like someone has a CNC router....


Where do you get those bed hinges?


Is the penthouse top new?

Finally got around to paint, and decided to LineX the rockers like my previous van had done.

I was very pleased with the result, but the excitement was short lived
