Just happened upon this offroad RV build. Wow.

I'd say this is pretty close to being the ultimate ZAV.

God, I should have done better in school, became much smarter and richer and build cool E36 M3 like that.

very kewl...

That's pretty cool. I didn't read the thread, but I wonder how much it cost to build. There is a company in Australia that makes a vehicle very similar to that. They cost about $60k IIRC. I imagine this was cheaper.

If it makes you feel any better the smarter part doesn't necessarily help with the richer part.

Really nice build though, you could do something similar without spending a whole lot but this guy put in the extra effort to rebuild everything and make it look nice.

In reply to GameboyRMH:

Yeah, was kinda thinking more along the lines of knowing how to make money. I have no earthly idea how to make money. I could build that thing easily...with someone elses money.

Wow, that's just... cool.

Doing a road test in Albania. Hmmm.

I know where a 4x4 box truck is, bad ideas being generated, thanks!

awesomeness level = high.

Some really neat ideas in there. In-floor PEX heating in a motor home - I hadn't thought of that. Good idea though. Especially since they mounted the water tanks in the conditioned area to prevent freezing.

I'm installing two of the same towel-warmer rack in the g/f's house as part of the renovation. Those are not cheap.

eVil thoughts of a Grumman box truck with 2500 Duramax or Cummins 4x4 drivetrain...
