some thoughts

Nice to hear at least one good remark about Sportsmobile, and yes - they are very willing to customize builds. I understand their lead time is on the order of 17-18 mo. right now. Like I said, the...

Question What Class B mfg do you like in 2024 ?

My wife and I are looking at Class B's and got a $160K quote on one when we visited Sportsmobile in Austin, TX last Summer. Liked the company, and the workmanship seemed pretty good after crawling...

LTV

Ekko vs. Cross Trail

My wife is interested in the Coachmen Cross Trail 20XG, but I'm wondering how well it's made vs. the Winnebago Ekko. I'm concerned about construction quality / reliability on any "box" built onto a...

I'm a fan

I'm a fan of George's work. The use of the 80/20 aluminum strikes me as sensible. I'd rather have my van interior made of metal framing, put together with nuts & bolts vs. even the nicest...

High Top Chevy / GMC ?

What with the demise of Roadtrek and their "Popular" models (190, 210), are there any Class B mfgs left doing builds on the Chevy Express / GMC Savana ? I know Safari Condo in Quebec offers them, but...

I often wonder about a custom build on Freightliner's version of the Sprinter. Is service on these any more reasonable at Freightliner shops ? They're certainly a bit less garish / more "stealth" w/o...

great layout

I like that layout. IMHO, bathrooms belong on the driver's side, and the galley on the "camp" (passenger's) side. I'd buy that floorplan in a split-second, if it came on a Chevy-based model with good...

ARV

Another option would be to investigate the efficient A/C that Advanced RV installs on their vans (they'll also apparently retrofit it on other brands). I believe the unit is mfg. in Australia.
