I got lucky in having the money and being in the right spot to have this van... Customized for camping it is a 1985 Chevy G20 4x4 van... I had to rewire allot of the house power, added many things to include 230Watts of solar power... I am fully contained and ready for any condition be it weather or terrain...

1996 Coachmen Saratoga Class B RV, AKA converted Dodge Ram 1-ton converted to a small RV. Sunken floor converted into a waterproof shower pan with drain. Changed sink faucet into one with a spray hose for shower head. PVC pipe shower ring screwed into ceiling. Use large ring shower curtain rings and 2 cloth shower curtains. All walls and ceiling gutted and Reflectix and rigid foam insulation applied to all walls and ceiling. New painted walls installed. RV came with small black, gray and large fresh water tanks. 3-way fridge, dual burner stove, and microwave. RV A/C in roof. Onan 2800 genny also. Replaced the broken Fantastic fan with a new deluxe Fantastic Vent with remote, 2 weeks ago. Finishing up the rigid foam insulation install this weekend and will then install new painted walls. Converted 2 small beds into one large bed in the back. Raised bed frame up a few inches for storage tubs under the bed. Converted all interior lights to LED. Plan on going solar in future. Plan on moving in full time in a month or 2 when interior is finished and all systems are working. A/C needs recharge and genny needs a tune up.

1995 Intervec Falcon - a Ford E250 with "an over the cab" high top, and self sufficient with propane, 12v, 110v, city water hookup and internal water tank. Has a sit-down shower as well. May not have it long: a couple is coming back for a second look-see, and since they're travelling quite a few hours each time, I suspect they're serious. Currently looking for a slide in camper for the back of a pickup truck.

'04 Toyota Prius w/minimal moderations  - tinted windows  - window visors (can crack windows without rain coming in and remain stealth)  - curtains (was using velcro to headliner, now hang from a long length of bungie cord)  - screens on back windows (keeps bugs out when windows are open to get a breeze)  - one back seat lays down to fit cot-sized mattress (26"x78")  - inverter (mostly for laptop)  - avg. 45 MPG fully loaded with gear (close to maximum pay load)  - see links in signature line (for more details)

1988 Intervec Ford Falcon 190. I'm not full-time yet, but I'm getting closer. Mine is very similar to your 1995, Seraphim. How do I find out how many gallons the internal water tank holds?

1978 Dodge B300 chassis Xplorer Class B. Transmission was rebuild last year by a previous owner. Unsure of mileage on engine, 130k probably but could be 230k.
