He said the build turned out well but apparently they are just a middle man and outsource the actual labor to random companies.
Hmmm strange. I've seen their shop in Troutdale and they definitely were building vans. I'm wondering if there was a misunderstanding about what exactly was outsourced.
Man...I thought putting a Cummins/Allison in a van was expensive but apparently bamboo cabinets and stainless appliances push you into mega budget territory.
Oh yeah--start throwing that "decorator touch" at something and watch the concept of "affordable" and/or "budget" disappear like smoke!

Re: Behold… the $300k van.
So I wonder what happened here. It seems as if the owner of OSV built this as a showcase of their capabilities and then put it up for sale after half a season. When I saw it in Sun Valley in July it had just been completed and now it has been sold. It was listed on the OSV site for $280,000, http://www.outsidevan.com/inventory.php.
