Re: It's getting close!

Are they built on a 450 chassis then? Looks like 19.5 wheels.

The paint job and the front carrier really make it look, um, unusual.

It's getting close!

The red and white is a Baja Chinook converted to 4x4. They are amazing high end rigs that are no longer made. I believe the employees migrated to a local RV shop in Yakima to keep the existing rigs going. There was a lot of vans there which made me happy. I'm always nervous about the SK fate for these niche shops.

I'm hoping to buy this buckstop steel bumper for Van Diesel.

The Chinook Baja were all 4x4, a regular Chinook is just a Chinook. Insides are the same AFIK, and it's the smaller of the Chinook platform, Baja being a "factory" Chinook option. My Aunt an Uncle are on their second Chinook and love them- this is their trade up from the smallest living in my driveway with the 'rents:

Re: It's getting close!

Do you have hookups in your RV park, or just dry camping?
