^^^ thats cause the members here are actually out and about using their vans for their intended purpose. so I don't see people not confirming sightings as such a bad thing

Re: SMB Sightings
11/28 - I saw a nice looking tan SMB in the parking lot near Van Damme State Park in Little River, CA.
I also saw what looked like a 2wd SMB with a white pop top on hwy 1 heading north towards Mendocino CA.
My wife drove the van to Safeway in Fort Bragg, CA and was approached by a lady that said she had an SMB. My wife did not geek out and talked to her like I would have.
Three sightings (sort of) in one day. Not bad.

Re: SMB Sightings
@Shenrie. I agree totally. I was sort of just thinking about how many people there are that have SMBs that aren't on this forum or have never even heard of it, which it totally cool of course.

Re: SMB Sightings
WallyWorld Santa Fe, NM-after leaving Boulder a day and a half late...we had to make up some time, and the weather moved in, not a great combo. It became a sheet of ice driving S. on 25 over Raton pass at sunset, came up on at least a dozen cars/pickups spun off the road, down in the ditch, and one tundra that had just flipped and was on its roof, we stopped to make sure all occupants were safely out, hwy patrol was making their way up the pass and was about 4 scenes back. We continued our slow push to get a few more miles in. These guys pulled in right after us, here's a shot from last night. Hope to meet them this am?

Very nice van and owner. The build out is very clean and well thought out.
We installed a Max RIP Kit on it a few weeks ago.
It gets flat towed behind a big Coach when it is not living in San Diego there months of the year.

An SMB as a toad. That's living large.

^^That's what I was thinking! Towing a $100,000 camper behind your camper.

Re: SMB Sightings
Somebody in a white van headed south on 99 outside Modesto. Just got a second to see them and tried to wave. The van had lots of windows... Was that you Chris & Ruth?
