That is amazing.

I wasn’t sure where to put this one, but spotted it a few days ago and figured you guys would enjoy it

well it did graze past a road bollard which sloooowwwly ripped it apart at ~5mph
I think someone else here (rideit maybe?) has another pic of it before they towed it off Broadway.

example of said construction.
this camper ripped apart at like 5mph

red flag ^
dodged a bullet

fwiw for anyone contemplating this- we have loved the hell our promaster too - great option here.
FWD works great for my husband’s daily driver in JH.
I also really like the storage above the...

This is a new renter on my street- It has a right side drive too.
I want to see the inside. been peeping on it every time we go by on dog walks

well that listing is already gone. not too surprising, I guess



and that is awesome!

we just keep a couple of wood blocks in our van for leveling

just saw this unique beast!
it’s a little hard to see in the pic but there were also 2 sets of skis on the “back deck”

that’s probably half of tgr audience +.
we have a high roof and it is palatial although I was happy as a clam for many years in my old vanagon and eurovan which were standard roof height. But yeah-...

This seems like a decent deal
I like the build out and it’s already insulated, etc.

not in 2015- more like $30ish-k
It seems overpriced to me but you don’t give a lot of detail. Assuming it’s the RWD? (boo)
Is it built out? a good build out with insulation, lighting, solar, etc...

We had vw vans for years and they were great and all but now our tall van where you can stand up....It feels palatial.

My aunt and uncle send me a Cabot Christmas package every yr which includes that powdered Cabot cheese. So good

I knew a couple of you would enjoy that lol

The ski area lots do not allow camping. There aren’t a ton of options close by the mountain bc you run into the closed natl park roads etc.
but if you are astute/creative you should be ok

We bought the fancy reflectix style window coverings that suction onto the window. They work pretty well but the whole van is well insulated and we have an espar heater so at this point it’s probably...

This is correct- there's basically no discounting happening. Full price sales all day long
they can barely keep enough inventory on hand right now. There was a sprinter chassis shortage even prior...

So cozy. That is awesome
Hey treewell dweller didn’t we ski together when you visited JH a few winters ago? Can’t recall which other mag you were with...


And @Phall - agree that shipping price...

they also function decently as an extra guest room

that little japanese minivan sounds sweet. I like that they have the storage underneath too- makes it so much easier to sleep in



Cooper Discoverers - Believe the thicker ply for the extra...

missed this earlier but also FWD promaster owner here and it's done well for us.
Husband's daily driver in Jackson, WY. They don't use salt here so we basically drive on packed snow roads all...

it was a fun project for andrew, but it did take him almost 2 summers to get it fully dialed- mostly bc with the tall van it doesn't fit in the garage so it was mostly a summer project - sounds like...

bro- you've been in oregon long enough now to have switched it up to Sunset- The Magazine of Western Living

but yea- the decor would be the same either way :P

I like the rig!

I like how you worded that.
I desire the panamera, but will probably end up with the macan. Still trying to figure it out though



Yea we have heated seats in ours and the wires reached as is....

Yea we have heated seats in ours and the wires reached as is. I think we accidentally unplugged it once swiveling but then just zip tied it better and it reaches fine now

if we drove more in the summer I'd consider it, but also changing tires out for the 10 weeks of summer started to seem like a silly waste of time and space in my garage :P
we are both <5 miles from...

We’ve been very happy with the promaster.
This will be our 3rd winter and my husband uses it as his daily driver.
Maybe the lack of 4wd didn’t scare us off by we’ve been driving FWD VW vans for...

I watch too much HGTV and I’ve seen the livestock tub used a bunch in tiny homes/ rv shows so bet that’s a solid choice.

I’m sure you’ve overthought it, but do you really need a shower in your...

We have a promaster with the bed sideways and my 6’ tall husband fits.

I think there’s is a bit overbuilt up inside though. Ours is not as fancy inside but I dig having the extra space.

I think it goes back way further than that- I learned about this from river guides a decade or more ago but it’s a fun game (especially living in summer RV land)
I saw a funny one the other day...

What’s the back story on the RV life change?
Sounds like good times just curious

we have a 136 WB promaster and did the bed sideways which barely fits my husband at 6' but works well
We live in Jackson, Wy and it does pretty damn well in the snow for not being 4wd/awd (you want...

fun looking van but going on top of that just to get skis seems silly for daily skiing. maybe if they were just rolling into town from a road trip.....

Simple- how's that pop top fare in the...

fwiw pyro - we did the buddy heater for a bit before the espar and it was not that helpful.
had to keep enough ventilation going for health that I felt the heat was pretty much negated. and in the...

talking with inspired over in Victor.
I’m sure the papabear cd figure it out, but he also has -gasp- 2 jobs this winter, so he’s pretty busy and I ‘d rather have him enjoy his days off than lie...

anyone here had an espar heater installed? any recs around the rocky mtn region? (we're in Jackson,WY)
I know there are not a ton that advertise the installs but the husband bought one and is...

lol ya kinda is bc it has a bit of canadian in it

I kind of want to buy that.
doesn't look like much if any rust esp by VT/New England standards

ok this is like 1 block from my office (and bet rideit drives by it everyday and also within a third mile of Djongo's place) so I'll try to keep a look out for bikes-on bc those are unique

I just...

needs a BBI sticker on that fire extinguisher

maybe some art inspiration for ACH's rig

hahaha I'm glad you cross posted bc I dont go into that thread much, but that is gold

ha- not even on ski trips- just when I drive to the hill.
I'm in no way am knocking the truck if that's what you dig. I just dig the van

yea they do
mine is not 4x4. went fwd Promaster bc all my other vans have been 2wd and I've survived the past 20 yrs and had plenty of fun, but the minute there are better 4x4 options that aren't...

I agree. while I can see the pros of the truck/slide-in, I just prefer the van accessibility.
it's annoying that vans are mainstream cool now bc I get lumped in with the dipshits, when people used...
