My personal comparison of living in a camper van versus an RV like what I'm in now. And clarifying the difference between a cargo stealth van versus a class B ...
+John Fiskin I came here from the latest "Showering in Walmart" vid as well. Two things struck me:1) nothing Eric says here is inconsistent with the course he's taken (I'm not passing that off as your opinion) a bit unexepected maybe, but priorities change. For years I was after a larger house, and now I'd prefer a smaller one (with a bit more land). Keeping hold of "stuff" just loses it's appeal.I think he does a decent job of describing the pros and cons.2) the production values are pretty good, but they've definitely improved 12 months on.
I've got one of those. An 87 Toyota New Horizon. It's great for just me when I'm contracting. Not so great for family camping thou.The great thing is they don't up much space. The bad thing is a little 4 banger hauling all that weight around.
Home made conversions can be quite far. I have a hitop ford transit panel
van, 17ft long (9-10ft cell length), with a bathroom (with shower), fridge
(45L), stove, 2 persons bed (converted from L shaped seat), 200 amps power,
200W solar, 24/17 fresh/waster galon tanks. From the outside it is quite
stealthy and when traveling when I get pulled over by the police, I am
often asked what load I'm carrying - cos they don't realize its a camper
van.
So, stealthy camper van with the benefits of a motorhome is mostly
possible. There is only one thing you definitely lose, space and besides
being creative with the layout, you have to struck a compromise between
storage space and not wanting to be cramped.
Help!
What do you ya'll think about the Dodge Xplorer like the one Chris Travels
uses? Does that count as an RV or a Camper Van? Is it the best of both
worlds or the worst of both worlds, or the worst and the best? Is it
"stealthy" if you don't put a ton of junk on top of it?
Chris's van seems to not have a high top roof (or he's really tall). Most I've seen do have the high top. In answer to your question, Xplorers are fine but I decided not to go with one because most of the ones I've seen didn't have a rear door. I recommend looking at some other manufacturers before making a final decision. Check out Roadtrek, Pleasure Way, Leisure Travel, and Coach House (my personal favorite).
I've watched this a couple times and the message is very rambling. You
compare a fully equipped Class C to a fully equipped Class B but then toss
in photos of a stripped down Econline van. You obviously prefer Class C and
the Econoline, but not the fully-equipped Class B because it is smaller and
does not "blend in".
You ask about buying ice every day, bathroom at Walmart, shower at
truckstops. Objection your honor! Leading the witness! Fully equipped Class
B's have a freezer, have a bathroom, have a shower.
Here is a video does a good job of presenting a different view of a Class B.

RVing
He was talking about converted "stealth" van. Vans that have been converted to campers. My family had a factory conversion like that back in the late 70's. A Ford Contempo van. No fridge or bathroom, but a hand pump sink and ice box.
i was born and raised in an rv so my only thought to you is this, you are
alot GREENER to the enviroment ronning a 32 amp rv (30A), instead of a
house with a minimum of 400 amps and you then have to furnish the home, rvs
come ready to go. i noticed you have a ford e350. i have rebuilt over a
hundred 460v8 engines and i think you have one of the best power trains
available for an 80s class c. i run a mopar 440v8 because i didnt have a
choice, id rather have a 460 ford, my name is charlie you can reach me at
2535903182 if you ever need engine repair or any work like the control
panel, let me know i have one you can have. i run a fleetwood as well and
had the same problem, now i dont.
i got into what i do because my family has relied on chevy and ford dealerships for scheduled services that were never getting done and so when i got involved i realized that mechanics usually do not do what you get charged for, if anything you may need to pop the hood and pull on your belts to see which ones are loose. they should only have enough slack to move about a CM or 2
Ya got it. Storage in the trailer isn't good. Its an 84 Layton and no slides. When my kids come to the camp site , its a bit cramped. In the winter I have a house,.I hope the weather breaks soon.

YES Steve Jack wants out!! Thank goodness. Who the fuck is he kidding? He
sucks fucking balls. To bad nobody wants him. Probably trade him for Shaun
Bradley. Fuck You Jack. Good fucking riddance you stupid asshole.
Lee's the man but I feel sorry for Warriors fans. They've lost way too much
over the years and Lee is never gonna make up for what this guy should be
able to do for the Knicks.
Man, Anthony Randolph was pumped up when he was in the Mavs/Spurs Playoff
atmosphere. Wait till he sees how Oracle Arena gets during the Playoffs, I
bet it'll be 10x as crazy.
