Just a little photo test.....I used to have this 77 Dodge maxivan "B", took it on a few trips, Yellowstone for one........Sadly it went down the road, looking for another older (80s-90s) model

I wonder if anyone has knows what these things are at each end of the bed are? They're hinged onto the backrest when the table is set and are about a foot deep running the length of the bench seats.

How does one attach a photo? When I click on Img some kind of code pops up which does not remain after preview or post.
Is it related to the browser I'm using? ( Google Chrome )

Thanks, Peter
There are lots of options... upload it to the forum, upload it to the photo gallery and then link it to your post, upload it to a photo hosting site and link it to your post, send the photos to me by email and I'll upload them ........

I am curious to see the items you mentioned.

I've got a 1975 VW Westfalia campmobile that we regularly go camping in. It's quite the talking point in most campgrounds. Some people seem to think that it would be challenging to camp in a vehicle this old, but we don't find that to be the case at all. It's great fun and a welcome break from all the 'modern' conveniences

It really does - is it stored in a garage?

Thanks for the kind words! Except for when we're out camping it lives in the garage. I've owned it for quite some time and always kept it in the garage, although it has been repainted once and I replaced the tent (in the pop-top) once.

Looks like it's been babied for the most part.
"take care of your toys, and they'll take care of you".

Nice, compact, economical, classic, class B motorhome. Well done.

With you there, I wash the dirt off and try not to shine it to much

These "OLD SCHOOL" B`s have many of the options that the newer ones have or can be easily custom fitted. I have a 1981 19ft. Dodge Class B and a 1979 Ford Chat eau custom van both which I use for short or extended camping trips. I wonder if there are enough members or guests with an original class B who would like to see some representation on this excellent site. ps tried to upload pictures of both vans but was not successful.
I just bought my 1989 Chevy Chinook today! So I certainly would!

If you post a photo once in a while,
the thread will never die.

Chris, that is a great looking rig you have there; no wonder you draw attention and offers to buy it. Something that nice looking says the previous owner(s) took excellent care of it. Smooth roads await, Ron
