    Astro Tiger is extremely cool (and in my town), but I think they hit the crack pipe a little too hard when they were pricing it. If you were going to drop $40k, you could just get this Sprinter: https://portland.craigslist.org/grg/...166485010.html That Sprinter has 10x more miles than the Astro, but diesel Sprinters run forever, right?

    I knew all about the emissions control system nightmare on Sprinters, which is one reason I didn’t buy one, but that Craigslist ad refers to them already doing the $8k fix for emissions and battery issues. I guess that’s referring to parasitic battery drain issues? Didn’t know that was common w/ Sprinters. Wonder if it involves CAN Bus module.

    Was out on the playa for a couple days trippin ballz with Punani and we met some wonderful ladies who were also trippin ballz and they have developed The Vanlife App after their careers doing van conversions in San Diego. It's beta now but once rolling should be good. Find a driveway, a yard, or whatever and also make some coin providing the same service(s) to other vanlifers.

    I have to ask why camp there? It just looks desolate. I admit cool to see, but damned just looks like a dust storm and sand/dust everywhere.

    Cuz if you're tripping balls, wonderful ladies also tripping balls -- who happen to be successful entrepreneurs -- appear, apparition-like, out of the desert.

    Wouldn't you??

    [Sweet camp spot btw - pure playaaa]

    Meh. Like many commercial van builds, they use a ton of plywood rather than the lighter/thinner modern options, and they’ve overlooked the realities of 4 season use in terms of water storage / plumbing. For example, rather than Euro plug and play technology from Webasto that monitors temp and heats and circulates water in the main tank while you’re skiing in Colorado on a long and cold pow day, they just stuck in a tank with zero thought. Also the finished build has a ton of exposed sheet metal they didn’t line or insulate. Not a real 4 season design.

    Most US RV industry is oriented toward KOA campground types so you end up with designs that fail the 4 season skier / climber / tgr dentist, especially when it comes to water and plumbing.

    What are these modern options of which you speak? Genuinely curious.

    All that, and the builder is some kind of pygmy who stands up in there and sleeps crossways as though a normal-sized person could fit in there at all.

    FWIW I totally agree. Also too much hype over features available in any medium or better quality RV. When he was talking about the engine heated water heater it reminded me of the ' genuine Casio' scene from Trains, Planes and Automobiles. Motoraid heaters have been around for many decades.

    Nothing wrong with a good playa camp. A couple of beers getting to the spot, a bowl and good red while cooking dinner and watching the dog figure out the planes and speed racers, and a night cap of bourbon.

    I dig the desolate playa.
