The fridge/freezer is a cooler shaped unit that we built a bench around. so we have lots of sitting space without losing all our floor space. It worked out really nicely.

    The "garage" will take 5 bikes pretty easily (as long as the people we're riding with aren't super tall) and I can fit my windsurfing gear back there as well.

    I love our Sprinter.
    That is amazing! All of it, the idea and the execution!

    We travel in a small Class C RV with our dogs during the summer. We love it.

    I second Veronica's idea of a meet up this summer.

    Thanks everyone. We are really proud of the Sprinter and shince BF has been posting photos and updates on FB, he's actually had some people ask him if he would consider doing a conversion for them. But seeing as it was a full time job for him for about 2.5 months, He's turned them all down.

    And yes, perhaps a cycling trip to Nor Cal is in the future. We are certainly planning a bunch of road trips. The first one is about 3 weeks out, up to the Canadian Rockies, then over to see my family.

    Neato! DH and I are very envious! If that's your home in the background, it's lovely. We were in your neck of the woods a couple of years ago. I'm envious of that, too!

    That is our home in the background. Yes, we are very fortunate to have a lovely home in an AMAZING place.

    We're renting right now, but I think I'm ready to try to change that.

    It is stunning! Hope you can buy it, if that is what you are alluding to!

    Wow, that is VERY cool, Wahine! I'm going to be sure NOT to show this to my H or I guarantee that one of these will be the next thing to drain our savings account!
