Dream vans ...... http://houselove.org/van-dreams.php
Gary RV Roamer said:I always thought the old GMC motorhome (basically a stretched Olds Toronado with a custom body) was a "dream van". I guess it is considered a Class A since it was built to be a motorhome body rather than being a converted van, but it is (to my eye) more like a stretched B van than an A.

Gary RV Roamer said:Yeah, they are longer and thus more roomy, but I was thinking more of the van-like body shell and height plus an interior that is reminiscent of a classy conversion van.
Who needs a tub in a mh ?Len and Jo said:I do like the layouts. The double wheels though in the rear have always looked odd to me....not pleasing.
Gary RV Roamer said:They needed two tires on each side to carry the weight of the rig. I think they used tandem single wheel axles so that the wheel wells didn't intrude so far into the interior. Similar to the logic of RV trailer design, i.e. more space between the wheels. That's just my guess, though.
