First was a 1973 Dodge Tradesman van, 127 inch wheelbase, 360ci, 727 auto, slightly modified (I was a young airman and looking for speed and fun). Modified interior with bed, icebox, and porta-pottie. Pulled my 1954 Willys CJ3B all over the country. When I went to Korea, my sister used it for camping and pulling a Coleman pop-up. They loved the van and ended up buying their own Dodge van, and still have one today.
Our first "camper" was a 1977 Dodge Tradesman B200. It was a "Vantastic" van conversion that I added a 110 circuit (shore power), roof AC, microwave over, porta pottie. I came with an ice box type fridge, sink, cabinetry, closet, and a dinette that we left folded down for a bed. We really enjoyed camping in that van. In some ways that was the best "camper" we ever had. Maybe because we used it a lot.
