Any chance of a nice - wide angle shot - of your bed/cabinet/seating layout ? Locking cab's look nice. Thanks -

The layout is a EB27 with the big high top. The original purchaser/builder of this Sportsmobile picked a great layout and options. From the factory propane delete was added which I love. I’d rather cook on a simple burner stove which allows me to cook outside on hot days. The diesel heater I installed works great for heat. I like that the sink in out of the way in a corner. The camper had a cassette toilet in the far back left corner. About 4 months ago I swapped it out for a sun mar composting toilet and it’s been great. The sun mar is very compact and it fit the space perfectly. I sleep up in the top penthouse diagonal as this lets me stretch out with lots of room, it’s a cozy little cave.

Originally it had seatbelts for 10 with the full build intact. There were 2 captain’s chairs behind the drivers seat. They are mounted on quick disconnect plates. The couch cushions i removed was only 2 bolts and the boxes are bolted to the original metal frame of the couch so I could convert it back to the 10 passenger camp mobile easily. I do feel kinda bad owning this as it would be a great van for a family with kids.

I did this upgrade a little while ago. Tiny Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 powered off the rear view mirror Temp/direction display harness. The 12v to micro usb plug really cleans up the wiring for it.

Lagun Table mounting plate

I just posted photos of the Lagun table steel mount I had made. In case anyone can benefit. It seems to be a great solution as a replacement for the tripod base and mast table.

250$ well invested: new vapor canister and gas station visits are a walk in the park [emoji23]
Since buying the van I had multiple stops while fueling up, getting worse the past months and I even got a warning code during the past two drives.
Disconnected one hose each side, clicked it out, clicked it in, connected two hoses and there we are: 22 gallons with out interruption [emoji869][emoji23]

Motovan....have you replaced your vapor canister? I have this issue but it's not too bad and somewhat intermittent. Once in a while it clicks off the pump.
