We have had the 1995 Great West Vans WDb1900 for 4 years now I think. It is in decent shape for a 25 year old vehicle. I am not an expert on these things but I always assumed that it is a class B motorhome. It looks like it has an overhead sleeping space at the front but the only things up there are a tv cabinet with a roll-up door that once housed a 12 inch tv and a storage cabinet on either side. It has a small bench seat right behind the driver's seat and a tiny bathroom (with shower track above that encircles the outer edges) right behind that. In one of the under seat storage bins there is a shower head and hose that I assume you would attach to the bathroom faucet. It is a tiny bathroom and I am sure taking a shower in there would be an adventure.
Across from that is an under counter 3 way fridge (it had a 110 volt bar fridge in there when we bought it) with a propane cooktop above. Beside those and under the counter are a bank of drawers with a storage cupboard to the right with a small sink above. There are 4 overhead cabinets above. Across the aisle and behind the bathroom is a pantry with a door that goes from the power panel on the floor to the ceiling.
In the back of the unit is a seating area with 32 inch bench seats on either side and a full-width bench seat at the back which surround a small dining table mounted on a 2 1/2" diameter pole, with mounting hole in the floor. There is a similar hole in the floor at the front of the van behind the front seats which can swivel around toward the back. The rear seating area converts to a 52" wide by 77" long bed. There are storage cabinets near the ceiling on 3 sides. There are two typical Chev van doors at the back which open to access under seat storage, or through which you could slide a surfboard or a kayak into the van.
It has a parquet floor covering the area from the fridge door to under the bed and the cabinet doors and frames are solid oak. The unit sleeps 2 unless you swivel the passenger seat completely around to face the back and fully recline it but that would be very uncomfortable. It is based on a Chevrolet G30 van I believe, powered by a 350 engine with 140,000 kms on it (84,000 miles).
Unfortunately I don't have a manual for it but I always thought it was a class B. I looked everywhere on the internet for information on this unit but found very little. We ran into a couple who were traveling in a GWV through our town a couple of years ago. Theirs was also a 1995 but it was on a Dodge chassis with a 318 engine and it had the standard van body with double doors behind the passenger door.
I tried but I guess I can't attach a picture to this post. Maybe I can put a picture on the internet and include a link to it later on if I can figure that out. In the meantime, any more information would be great.
