Hey Folks,
Just thought I would post up since I finally purchased a SMB. I was originally looking for a transformer type setup so that I can use the van as a utility vehicle, but was drawn to this '95 RB30 layout due to how clean it looked.
My wife and I made the trek from San Luis Obispo to Temecula to pick it up. Showed up at the PO's place to check it out and his estate was pretty spectacular. It actually detracted from the purchase of this rig because of how incredible his home/property was. There was actually a wedding going on at his property during the time we were there, but it was on the other side of his house so we werent disturbing anything. Anyways, the rig looked very clean and everything seemed to work so off we went after filling out some paperwork.
From Temecula, we headed to El Cajon to visit my sister in law and her family. We got to stay in the SMB that night since she had a full house of visitors. We were excited to stay in it anyways since we were eager to try it all out. We slept downstairs on the gaucho and I immediately noticed a problem. The backrest part of the gaucho slanted downward when in the "bed" position. Made for a mediocre nights sleep but I'll just have to figure out a way to add some support legs or something so it lays even with the rest of the bed.
We left the next day to head home which was pretty uneventful. The van drove great with the exception of the temp gauge going out. It would go on and off so I think its a bad connection to the sending unit. I'll have to try to figure that one out too.
Anyways, we're pretty stoked to have a van to take family weekend trips in. Plan is to enjoy it as is for a while and figure out what we need most. I can already tell I'll need a roof rack of some sort since there isnt much room inside the van. I'd like to lift it as well, but I want to make sure this is the right rig/setup before spending too much money on it.
On to the pics! This is a link to the pics that the PO had on his ad.
