The Ford Transit is RWD also the Nissan work van, the Promaster would be nice for a build your own, it has Front wheel drive however the rear axle hangs down quite low for ground clearance, I would worry about running aground on bad roads...
If you fix a Promaster up yourself, you can later rip it all out and still have a useable van for something besides an RV.
To get on the road without all the usual RV frills in the Roadtreks etc would be quite simple. A few frames for beds or one bed, portable 2 burner stove, commercial sink with a hand or foot pump, some cupboards, a few insulated windows, Fantastic fan,,
cassette toilet, furnace, insulate properly ( not like most of the commercial rv's..)
Put on a few solar panels and lots of good quality battery capacity.
Good Examples here..
You are not helping me not go that route :B
You hit the nail on the head of what I was thinking if I did go that route. Only thing you missed was the ARB fridge. Plus, if I wanted to I could buy a small trailer for longer stays or if I wanted more luxury.
I have to say with doing this change I realize a lot more of why people like TCer's. Layouts are better and more practical, you can select the truck you want (2 door, extended, crew) then the camper layout/ size that you want. Upgrading can be done on either the camper or the truck or both. Plus the simple fact that with a TCer you have so much more ground clearance in 99% of the campers that you don't have to worry about ripping something off gong to get gas.
