Yes, the TRAVATO is too of the list to buy. The GL is a great improvement... but I’m not sure how soon it will be on the market and actually available for sale.

They look like they have the right idea— no wood, modular etc. alas they are only doing the transit, and the transit doesn’t work for me for ergonomic reasons. But I’ll be in their area in a bit...

Interesting. I saw the fishing line reference in your post on the sprinter forums, but I didn’t get it— I guess the fishing line has enough tension to press against the groove? Hmmm.

Help me find a good class B or B+

Thanks for this post! So many great tips I just picked up from those pictures, and a great example of what can be done with 80/20!

I’ve been working with maker frame (a smaller version of 80/20 that is 15mm on a side) for awhile and love it. Quick frame seems a lot less robust as the plastic end pieces can slip out of the tube...

Thinsulate is not something I’m opposed to but I’m missing the advantages of it over polyisocuranate. Seems more expensive and thinner.

Exactly. In that scenario I would take the Winnebago because I would rather the updated Chassis design, and much as I like PW XL and LTV — I think the welded steel of a van body is going to last...
