Well i decided to end my Chinook journey in the interest of a newer vehicle. Like everyone my physical agility and motivation has taken a sharp decline of the last couple of years, that said i decided to stop on my chinook build and purchase a rig that needs nothing in terms of repairs.
I purchased this 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 AWD dually with 1400 miles on it with the v-6 3.0L diesel engine. My plan is to purchase an enclosed trailer to pull behind it. I will put a small kitchen and a toilet and a shower in the trailer versus modifying the van interior. I plan to install a partition in the van so i can keep my dogs seperated when we travel, maybe throw a twin or full size bed in it in the back, some kind of non slip flooring so the pups dont slip and slide during stopping and corning. Toss in a couple of orthopedic dogs beds and call it good. I may have to install a rooftop A/C unit as well becaus eim not certain at this point how cool the front A/C will keep the cargo area.
Shes nothing fancy but it suits my immediate needs....
