Think looks amazing. The only thing that could be better is if it has a cab over bed.

It would have to get allot better mileage then my Class "B" on a Ford chassis. It will pass anything but a gas station. Your build looks good though.

Nice, Austin. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding solar to the travel trailer for the summer.

You do nice work. Can you tell me where you source the RV couch from?

That’s a 75” couch covered with an Italian cow. We build everything in house. Gucci AF!

A new E350 cutaway with a box is a lot more than $30k.

Thx man. We specialize in Mercedes Sprinter builds. Not afraid of a Transit or ProMaster every now and then.

Beautiful job...!! my compliments...

My box van motocross days are among my favorite memories.

I had a Ryder box moving van with Ford Econoline chassis. My Dad helped me out getting it and my Granddad helped me do the conversion. We did a probably about a 6 foot living space up front and a 10 foot hauling/shop area in the back. I always meant to paint it, but it stayed Ryder "yellow" throughout its life with me.
I had the futons that served as a couch then folded into a bed.
It hit the early - mid 90's moto scene in the MidAtlantic up into the Northeast.

I miss that thing and have always entertained doing one like you did again someday. Somewhere some photos exists and I'll post them if I can locate them...

Nice job!

Website? Wife and I were thinking of getting a camper van before the world stopped...guy can still dream. Tried getting with the guy in Florida that was originally from Europe that builds them, set up a time to discuss with his son and he never returned my calls so passed on that option.
