My fascination with vans and campers started on walks home from school in 4-6th grade. The letter carrier parked the 3-wheel vehicle at one of the street corners. My three buddies and I vowed that we'd buy one each, put in a bed and counter then take off to tour the US! As I got bigger I realized that the 3 wheeler wouldn't fit my 6'2' frame. Still...the idea was planted.
Today I found this conversion. This vid is of the final display unit at the travel show. The build is captured in a few other vids in the side columns. Interesting trip back in time for me. Those 3 wheelers are scary though...they tip over! My Dad was a letter carrier. After a few carriers were killed the union fought to have them banned. That lead to the mini-jeep type unit. Another potential for a mini-house on wheels but parts aren't so easy to gather. Half ton vans are a better choice these days.
