I've been in one - they actually do not have much headroom.
And they don't look nearly burly enough...

This is an ideal rig but only if you like wussie things like fuel economy(a gay 24 mpg) using biodiesel(no war? no way) or an engine that will run for 500K and drives like a tacoma. Not me, Im sticking with my ford explorer! No Euro-yuppie Nazi van for me... (mostly 'cause I cant afford it)

Where's the 32" Plasma and mobile
satellite receiver?
You could buy an old Ford conversion van,
stick the money you saved in the bank
and pay for the difference in gas mileage
with the interest earned.
Nobody would ever think you have expensive
toys in an old beater.
Never ever ever ever make payments on
a vehicle. =working so you can drive to work.

Tacoma...? I had an 89 tacoma with well over 280 thousand miles on it...Besides regular maint, the only major fixings was the starter and a new fuel pump......Now, I own a 2003 Tacoma double cab TRD with K&N Intake, 3" lift and it's supercharged -7th injector (lots of extras)...That V-6 Tacoma runs a hell of a lot stronger than your average stock V-8 Tundra...It has 40k on it and the only thing changed on it so far is reg. maint and wiper blades..

Yep, talked to the dealer (im bored). Wants $62K Maybe theyre throwing in the dirtbike and downwhill ride.. wow Says its a guy fom HR! Might that be an Ekkman mobile?...
Heres a plan:
1)Wait a year or so, you can buy a used sprinter from a commercial fleet source for a good price
2)Get a 500$ camper to gut for the project..
3)Mark it up $20,000 and sell it on ebay, like this guy...
Tony: rides like a Tacoma is complimentary. i was being a little sarchastic, iknow
Hein is right on! Or get a toyota RV for like $4000.
um huh

Who else but Ekman could build such a kick ass rig! 
Somebody will buy it, it is tits.
You can go the less expensive route and make your own, but why not have the tight packsge!?!?! 
You wouldn't want to ride old assed kites, or build your own kites wood ya'? 
I know all of you are drooling over this ride right now!!! 
who ever buys it tell em Mike sent ya! Or PKH since he started this post.
