I thought it would be proper to showcase the adventure van as this is the machine that has been responsible for a majority of my excursions. This van has been in the family since 1980 and has thus undergone a few transformations. Most recently some fresh paint was laid down. Yes the van is finally one color again. Growing up exploring northern and southern California in this van makes me ponder where the time has gone. Make sure you check out the specs.The first picture is at the Sea Otter Classic, the next two are on national forest road off of Pozo Road in San Luis Obispo, California and the last photo uploaded was camping at Montaña de Oro State Park
Specs:
1 Ton Frame
250ci 6cyl - great mileage for a camper somewhere around 20mpg's
4 speed Borg Warner T-10 - looking to upgrade to a 5 or greater speed tranny.
44 gallon fuel tank - yes it is a 120 plus bucks to fill this beast, but I can get all the way to tahoe and back.
Disc brakes up front
New Halogen bulbs up front
New kyb shocks all the way around
Custom Interior Loft with Fold out Couch that converts to a bed
Bathroom (under construction) - update, I got a toilet
Kitchen Area (under construction)
Custom rain gutter rail (nobody ever notices the gutter, a lot of work for little recognition)
and that pretty much sums it up right now

Before the van was painted. Not the best looking rig but the right touch and some paint works wonders
