I know y'all like photos...(interior of the GyrFalcon)

<P>&nbsp;Inside of&nbsp;the 95 Intervec Falcon camper van:<BR><BR><BR><A href="http://bentfalcon.wordpress.com/gyrfalcon-interior-photos/" target=_blank target=_blank>http://bentfalcon.wordpress.com/gyrfalcon-interior-photos/</A></P><P><BR>The over the cab part slides back to reveal a large sleeping area. It's closed in the photos.&nbsp; We just use it for storage of bedding, clothes, and bike gear. We sleep on the sofa, which folds open and fills the entire living area.<BR><BR>Under the tub is the propane furnace. The shower head is a simple spray nozzle with an on/off button. Lets us stop the water flow without changing the water temperature.<BR><BR>Inverter is under the pantry, next to the sofa.<BR><BR>They packed a lot into this 19 foot van. We really like the layout.</P><BR>You can also notice the&nbsp;window covers velcroed in place, made from a sheet of ABS plastic.<BR><BR>The center console was made from an old speaker box with a tray on top, and an opening for the trash can.&nbsp;The console slides back for a game table, the tray comes off for individual use, and there's storage under the tray.<BR><BR>&nbsp;<BR><BR>

That looks very livable!&nbsp;

Love it!!!<div><br></div>

That's the nice thing about an older class B - everything's already in place. Just jump in and go...

That looks comfy... Very popular floor plan with the sportsmobiles, as well...&nbsp;

11 to 14, thereabouts. 11 strictly around town, more on the highway. The vehicle is heavy, and the high top adds wind resistance. Generally drive about 65 mph on the expressway. Got better when we first got the unit - over 15 highway - but I found the tires were way overinflated.

You're doing a great job, even in stealth mode. We've parked at Walmarts, truck stops and occasional rest areas, when not at a campground. Never been bothered.

Seraphim,<br><br>Thanks for sharing the Falcon's layout--great pictorial tour!&nbsp; Their design is indeed an efficient use of space.&nbsp; Also, I have enjoyed the other photographs on your blog site as well.<br><br>SB<br><br>

 

[Seraphim]

Thanks Bob. Just started blogging and I'm trying to figure out the 'make money' aspect.

Looks good Seraphim! Of course Heidi and I pretty much love most all B's. We call the style with the cabover "a B with a pancake on it's head" <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> I wrote a blog about it here that has a funny pic or two:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.vantramps.com/2010/06/van-with-pancake-on-its-head.html" target="_blank">http://www.vantramps.com/2010/06/van-with-pancake-on-its-head.html</a><div><br></div><div>There is a pic of Taj with a pancake on her head here :&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://www.vantramps.com/2010/07/solar-cooking-and-other-fun.html" target="_blank">http://www.vantramps.com/2010/07/solar-cooking-and-other-fun.html</a></div><div><br></div></div><div>We do like that floorplan as well. Still prefer the bed in back so we don't have to take it down and put it up etc, but really, all of these B's can be seriously comfortable little homes, especially when we customize them to fit us just right!&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I will have to spend some time reading your blog today!&nbsp;</div>

We saw a B once that looked somewhat like a mushroom - figured gnomes lived inside. For the life of me, I can't remember it's name. Enjoyed the links lol.

Bob

We really like the floorplan. We have actually looked at newer models, even the Sprinter versions, but found nothing we liked as much.

The gnome mobile, the gnome mobile, riding along in the gnome mobile!

 

[VanTramp]

Hey Seraphim, yeah, we call em mushroom heads too LOL! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> There is one more style we see a lot that is a really huge high top, usually white and almost straight up on the sides for a good 18" or more. We refer to them as "marshmallow heads". We keep ourselves pretty well entertained always!<div><br></div><div>I agree too about the newer floor plans. I just don't care for them as much. Some of the newer appliances and cabinet work is amazing though.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

I am a huge fan of the class B's. I like the layout of your van, though. Very nice and roomy.&nbsp;

 

[Seraphim]

You can still find them too, at good prices. Some components may need working on, but the majority of the works already done when you get it.
