Thought I'd post a few pictures of my summer vacation mobile, and also see if there are other owners of my kind of class B1990 Dodge B-350 based Islander goldstream. Full paint and exterior restoration in 2013The overcab sleeper is great. While I like roadtrek, pleasureway and other brands of B RVs as well, they all lack this. I don't know why there are no more widebody or Van based Bs with overcab sleepers.Anyway, here are a few before and after pics.I plan to have it as long as possible

Beautiful transformation. Did you do anything inside?

Thank you very much!Layout Identical. Its one of those dinette layouts where the rear of the van is the bathroom. Cushions reupholstered, painted over dated wood accents, New stove, fridge, complete electrical rewire!Mechanical stuff to keep it safe (brakes, fluids, tires, belts alternator, shocks, axle seals, etc)

Older people - many with arthritis, can't get into a cab over bed - e.g. truck campers.We loved our T.C., but realized with getting older and bad knees, climbing into that bed would be difficult. Our current B+ has a Murphy bed which works well for us but even it is a little higher than a normal bed.Your unit looks v.g. - you did a nice job of restoring it. Keep enjoying it as long as you can.

Awesome B - Very cool - You don't see many of those! I am sure you have had people ask if it is for sale.

Very nice looking restoration. Sounds like a great job on the interior also.
