I was out earlier and saw this and started drooling and thinking, hey, I could work with this! What have you seen that would make an awesome conversion?

Definatly a dream machine! Not for sale , but parked next to where I am working. It is a 1968 dodge A108 with the "family wagon" camper option. Even has a hammock bunk! It has the grand canyon airbrushed on one side and desert on the other.

I had some friends from college that bought a step van and renovated it for camping.&nbsp; It was soooooo cool and so much fun! I'm always looking at old buses and wishing I had the skills and the money.<BR><BR>I had a dream about this one for a couple of days<BR><TABLE summary="craigslist hosted images"><TBODY><TR><TD align=middle><IMG alt="image 2264890099-0" src="http://images.craigslist.org/3n23m13p45Q55T55X0b3ebb16348c42371fa5.jpg"></TD><TD align=middle><IMG alt="image 2264890099-1" src="http://images.craigslist.org/3k63m73pa5O25Z35Q5b3e694aa78795a51387.jpg"></TD></TR><TR><TD align=middle><IMG alt="image 2264890099-2" src="http://images.craigslist.org/3k73m53pd5W65U25S1b3e3cf96e2aba231de6.jpg"></TD><TD align=middle></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>

Nope, not on the road, but found it flipping through the net. Made by a company called "earthroamer". They have some awesome rigs, but your pockets better be pretty deep, used ones selling for $219k!
