Back in 1990 ordered a Turtle Top Week-Ender Van, Model W17-4, friend of mine also ordered a Turtle Top Week-Ender Van, Model W17-3. Both units were on the 1990 Ford Econoline 150 Chassis.

Another friend of ours ordered the W19, forget if it was the W19-3 or W19-4

The Turtle Top Week-Ender was a good unit, had the Porta-Potti, I ordered with all available options. It was garaged kept, liked it so much kept it for nine years.

My friend kept his W17-3 for 15 years, also garaged kept.

I have the 17-3 on a 1991 Dodge 2500 van that I paid 4k for. Put another 2k into upgrades (tires, shocks, etc.) Great rig for one full size guy. Bed is too small for two. I've had some nice trips with it. Great for hauling my kids and boats around too.

Ditched the portapotty. Use the space for a closet and storage, like my 2k Honda Genny. Still have the original frig. Noisy bugger but it works. I turn it off at night with little effect on the perishables.

We truly enjoyed our 1990 Turtle Top Weekender Van, sad that they stop building them.
