While searching for the 'dream' parking spot at our local Wally World we spotted this terrific 'B'



I had the inkling to hang around to meet the proud owners...unfortunately DW had priority last minute roadtrip shopping on her mind, so we split into the 'shoppers paradise' before the 'Road-trek'rs' returned...

Dick just dropped off our daughter and grandkids at the Carferry in Manitowoc, Wi. (ferry headed for Ludington Mich.) and saw a B getting loaded on to the ferry. HUUMMM wonder if it's anyone from here. He said thought it was a Roadtrek.

Double your pleasure!
The 'Chuckwagon' on the right and our 'Roadhouse' to the left



Met this Super-Cool, Fellow DIY Sprinter Converter while on route to a family reunion in Spring Hill Fl Friday @around 10:30AM. The fellow 'B'r, DW & myself shared interior look-see's during our bonding process. Above is a candid shot of 'Chuckwagons's interior

And yes!...I did turn him on to RV.net...

On Edit:
Just noticed the new found 'B'r is standing inside our Sprinters door.

Saw two yesterday, both on Rte 20 in Watertown, MA.They were about 2 hours apart, so were not together. The first was one I had now heard about before, a New-West Sport with Quebec plates. Almost couldn't tell it was a B. It has a really low top, which has a solar panel and small glass window/vent in it. Nice looking van. The second was an SS Agile. I didn't see where that one was from.


The map shows the states my wife and I have driven (or camped) in together.

These are old pix, from about '04, but maybe worthy of a repost. I ran across them while going thru old back-ups. Spotted at the local WM Sooper Center....






Pretty mimimalist and _very_ clever DIY unit. It was near Bele Chere weekend, and I think he was there for several days.

At the Shawnee, KS Wal-Mart I saw a Dodge full-size van with raised roof and a full-size Chevy van with trailer parked towards the outer edges. The Dodge I'm not certain on because its windows was tinted heavily but the Chevy van had his door open and you could see inside... I bet the bugs was eating him alive. Looked cramped on the inside. He did have a trailer on the back so he could be a full-timer. I had a camera but forgot about it.

I was driving around the Bourne "Rotary" or "Round-a-bout" yesterday at the Cape Cod Canal and saw this Airstream Sprinter. I had never seen one in person so I took a quick right off the highway right into the station and Lobster restaurant parking lot.

I think the owners were inside the small "Lobster Shack" having some boiled lobster with melted butter and the fixin's! I think this is a rare sighting. Is this the Airstream Westfalia and that they are not longer produced or sold in the US? This looks like the 2005 year model? tfrazie has one right? Is this you?



Here's the other side. This is a nice rig!

JoeRT we have one similar to this parked about 2 miles down the road from us in Wis. It's been there off and on most of the summer. Will have to get a picture of it one of these days.

We saw one last Monday night, going north on Highway 52 in Cannon Falls MN. They were turning right off of the highway. We pulled up next to them at the stoplight, honked and waved..... The driver looked over and gave no response... no wave, no smile, not a thing! It was a Leisure Travel Sprinter B with Minnesota plates.
