George and the HR team are doing just fine. You don't need to be a high volume builder to be a well respected, quality builder. Volume has nothing to do with it. If you're willing to wait for a high...

I can't speak for the OP, but not everything is about money. Some people just want to burn less fuel for the sake of the environment and there's nothing wrong with that!

That's just semantical nonsense. Every comment here is just someone's opinion. No qualifiers or coded language are necessary if you understand that.

Of course, everyone has the right to travel in whatever way suits them, but towing a passenger vehicle behind a van that's already small enough to go just about anywhere makes no sense at all to me....

I would love to see Humble Road on that list, but he's not quite ready for prime-time. That's not a knock on the quality of his product, which is among the very best in the class B sector, but it's...

Not too long ago Mike at ARV was saying their builds started at around $225k so that's a helluva jump to $310k.

Personally, I wouldn't touch RT, but that's just me. Their new models are priced absurdly high as well. You can commission the perfect custom build at those prices. Hard pass for me.

I suspect that labor and time are the big reasons. B+ interiors are built out before the walls are put on, which is much simpler and probably much faster than building inside the confines of a van...

Sportsmobile pop-top vans can actually sleep 4 adults, 2 down and 2 up. That probably wouldn't work for a full time living situation, but would be fine for short camping trips.
