It has taken us about a year, but we're pretty much done. We bought the van in May of 2008 and didn't have time to get the interior completed before summer. So, we just took it to Indy SMB and had them put the top on for the summer. We also had new wheels and tires installed before heading west. While in CA, we had SMB West install a Kenwood Nav system in June. After another trip to Colorado in September and some trips to KY for climbing, we were ready to get the interior done. We were going to be in Florida during Dec, Jan, and Feb, so we just left it at SMB Indy for the winter. We slept in the van about 70 days last year without the interior (mats and bags), so we are ready for the luxury of a real bed and someplace to sit.
It is a slightly modified RB50 with a V10 and Quigley 4x4.
Options
2kw inverter/charger
2 AGM batteries
3cf refrigerator
No propane
No Danhard
No water system. We carry two 7 gallon jugs.
We wanted to keep the systems and cost as low as possible. Our total cost is just about $77,000. Still a lot of money, within our estimate range going in.
Here are a couple of pictures:
