Mehh, doesn't do much for me. Looks like one of those mobile dog washing vans or a mobile phlebotomist vehicle. I'm sure you'll trick this one out like all the others only to sell it in a month or two when the next latest greatest baddest mofo moho on the road comes along. :rolleyes:

Don't think I have ever seen that much overhang past the rear axle. Not my cup of tea. Enjoy and have a good time.

Agree.....hate that long overhang behind the rear axle. When the manufactures put a body that’s way too long for the chassis. The owners gonna hate going up and down driveways........and towing......the hitch weight of 200 lbs is multiplied by every inch behind the rear axle.....put a heavy load on the hitch, your front wheels come off the ground.

The Ford econoline vans have not been made for years now, where do these motor home manufacturers keep getting them for these C class units?

you can get over 10 mpg running 70 mph,but the kicker is they come with a 7500lb hitch and will pull it no problem..18,500 llb chassis...

I think it's the wide angle lense they use...if you look at the first pic, looks less than half of the other ones....I've owned quite a few of these... they drive and handle nice...and easy to park anywhere..also these are only 8' wide...not 8'6''

Did Steve strip this 5 day old one at a rest area and leave it for dead?
Still working on that one,.. parts should be here to day,.. what happened was the one I wanted was in texas…,one popped up in so-cal so I bought it...gonna finish up the 2008 with only 37,000 mile and curb it...pretty nice coach... did a havasu trip and it ran and drove perfect..and got 13 mpg...

I like it! My last company had shift work and an engineer got an RV like this so he could stay on the premises, in a normal parking space, for the 3/4 days rather than commute. Pretty cool.

Good catch, lovely looking departure angle. Oh well, he’ll just sell it after the first time he scrapes the receiver hitch pulling into a gas station.

I could live in it weeks at a time...wife calls it a cramper...I'll tell ya.... traveling in one of these for years, then try'n to go back to a truck is tough...I just don't get the pricing though... you can buy them for ***** that's cheeper than a suv or truck..:D

I've owned one for 50 yrs,..if I sell it, it'll be to buy anotherone just like it...again... guess everyone missed the first pic..

that and the feds have put a stop to unsafe old rv's...the wheel base has to be in the required specs...right now it's about 45%..they actually make the next size bigger on the same chass..the other thing, these are designed to carry the most weight between the axels....as in..you can haul 10 200lb'rs and still be in limits..and at the same time tow 6500 lbs...

Maybe it is just the angle of the dangle.
