Very interesting and doesn't look too bad. Interesting the way they moved the fuel tank.

As far as I know, the ice cream van is a fibre glass mould on top of a pickup. I reckon the popemobile could be handy for carrying a lawnmower, Honda 50, barbecue, club gazebo etc.

TMG, you could be on to something with the bunk bed idea.
