you haven't done anything to get banned! I have nothing against you, you have done nothing wrong.

The reason I asked you not to post it here is you're not on the nats board, which means you can't answer officially, and one of the vans you stated as NOT A VAN (the oasis) the nats board stated WAS a van... so I don't want any confusion for anyone. I explained this to you once already.

if you and howard make your lists jive, and howard says your lists is correct, then I would have no problem with you making a post with it.

What doesn't howard know?! this thread has been extremely educational. This particular new part of the forum was a great idea. Not to go on a tagent or anything because I don't have anything to add to the conversation but man howard knows his stuff.


I go to Truck-ins. How about you?

Thanks, Dave...some days I wonder...

I really only know enough stuff to know that there is more stuff to know...

Like I said at the judging seminar at the Nats...if we (the old guys) don't tell the stories and share what we have learned, then you (the new guys) will have to start over, and the stories and knowledge will slowly be lost!

Howard...

Any chance the Nats board would reconsider the Trans Van at some point? The reason I ask is because it was built on a van chassis as were the Xplorers (that are allowed at the Nats)

The explorers we were talking about are the early ones, built by cutting up a van. Anything that started life as a Cutaway cab and chassis(like a class C or a cube van) is out at this point. Roadtreks and the wide bodies were vans at one point. Scotty's Early Dodge motorhome started life as a van, as far as I know...They didn't make cutaways in the 60s...(?)

Ah..now I see your point. Thanks.

Yepper...Scotty's Balboa camper was an A108. Not sure if you he showed you, but if you peek underneath most of the van body is still intact. All Balboa did was lay the f/g body over top.

There may be some decisions to make about panels in the future. Nissan is pushing this panel as a service vehicle and (so far) they're calling it a panel.
A good looking design.
