Ive seen that one rich. Gorgeous. There are some really nice conversions out there.
Prices on them arent that bad either. Ive seen them for sale starting in the low teens. Of course they need a ton of work, but still reasonable. I had found one for sale in MD a few years back real cheap, but the boss wouldnt go for it.:(

This one went for 19,000

One like that was just on the UShip TV show. Needed a compleat overhaul.

A buddy I worked with did a bus. Raised the roof. Added 10' to the back so he could drive his motorcycles in to store. In one side, out the other. It had a concrete heated floor in it with a diesel heater/pump to keep it warm in the winter.

What I camp in now: Harvey The RV

Cheaper to buy than a well set up 944 and I have 20' more than a slide in truck camper.

I took a 20' enclosed car trailer, added windows, cleaned up the inside, outfitted it with appliances and a fold down bed.

Camp trailer and car trailer.

Hi,

No that is a 09 Dodge Journey R/T.
The trailer is 3100 lbs. with full tanks but nothing else, the GVWR of the trailer is 3500 lbs.
