I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a B van conversion.

That was featured on an "RV" special on the Travel Channel.
That was a very unique set-up. That person had two different "RV's" that he built. I believe he was Russian and living in Florida. I could be wrong. It was about 2 years ago wehen I saw that special.
Thanks for the post.

I think this guy that is on TV every now and then with his 'weird' home made 'recreational vehicles'. The other one was maybe made from a couple of cars.

I recorded that discovery ch show a while back. Some very whacky rv's and some funny and some sweet and bittersweet stories. One older women was living in a teardrop type unique tow behind. Talk about using your space to the max!Folks had converted everything, beyond the normal imagination.This one was pretty funny.

I've seen that one on the Travel Channel as well. It's looks like a neat vehicle, but I think I'd skip the sauna trailer. I wouldn't want to pay for the gas to haul that thing along.

I want to know how this thing takes a corner? With all those wheels this RV may have some nasty tire wear on turns.

Think of the cost & complications of an alignment... three steer axles (!) (two fronts and rear)... or a brake job... or buying tires (one axle has duals....). It needs a _very_ special owner, and I don't mean one who rode the short bus...

that thing seems to keep coming up for sale must be some damage that you can't see, i don't know, just keeps coming up for sale every six month's of so.

I'd say it's a B , it's a van camper
