My Van(s)

I've owned many, many vans over the years. My newest projects are two different large vans. One is a 1988 Chevy G30 widebody originally built by Get-Away Vans, one of the most common van conversion manufacturers seen on the roads. However, this particular one is a rare breed indeed. It is one of apparently only a dozen Get-Away "Flagship" models built. They consist of a Class C RV chassis and a streamlined fibreglass widebody mould, following the Chevrolet van lines and contours. They were made in varying lengths, this one is 7 metres (23 feet) long. Several were never ordered as full RV conversions. I have seen one that was built more as a shuttle bus with limited "RV" features, and mine was originally built as a mobile office for the federal government and used locally.

The second is a more modern 1998 Ram 3500 van chassis with an Islander widebody Class B conversion built onto it. Long-time followers might get deja-vu, because yes this is indeed the second Islander conversion I have owned in the past few years.

The reason I own two is simple: One is for hobby/parties/business and the other is for "living". IE: it serves as my functioning kitchen and bathroom on my property and when I'm on the road.

The purple one was not driven much and has only 33,700km (21,000 miles) on the odometer. But...it was stored outdoors as the faded fibreglass and oxidation plainly showed. So I had the entore body reconditioned, took out a couple of obnoxiously large windows, re-fibreglassed over, and then repainted.

I am now in the beginning stages of renovating the entire interiors of both of them, upholstery, lighting, etc. As it progresses I will show interior updates on my Rumble/YouTube channels.
