The Deluxe Tour

As we have traveled around the U.S., many of our friends have asked for a tour of our camper van. We happily offer several levels of tours, including the premium tour that includes a trip to the wine cellar.

In the past weeks, we've had requests from as far away as Phnom Phen and The Netherlands to see the interior of our van. Because we can't take our van to these places, we offer this visual deluxe tour.



Our used Leisure Travel Van Freedom wide-body model sits on a Dodge Ram 3500 chassis. The inside of the van has everything we need.



A gourmet kitchen with stove, sink, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and pullout pantry:









A dining/living/office area for meals, blog writing, and card playing:



A master bedroom with an 80-inch-long, king-size bed:



And plenty of storage, thanks to the Mennonites who designed the interior, making use of every square inch of space. We have packed for a four-month trip, and we have storage space to spare. 


Several of the features we appreciate about the van, especially at our age, is that it has a toilet, a propane furnace, an air conditioner, and a water heater. You might think that with all of these features, the van must be 60 feet long. But at just under 20 feet, the van is nimble enough to take on winding mountain roads, and it fits into a normal parking space, whether in a downtown area or a grocery-store parking lot. 

However, that means the interior floor space is limited--only 3' x 7'. When we are getting dressed in the morning, we need to do a dance. Good thing we like each other a lot.

Oh, yes, the wine cellar, We're actually using it to store soda right now. It's below one of our couches over a wheel well. And, it does store about 30 cans of soda or about 6 bottles of wine.

Unless you have any questions, that concludes our tour for today.Thank you for joining us on this tour. Please stay to the right as you exit.

  1. VERY nice! Thanks for the tour with pictures. When our family of four traveled in our old RV for weeks at a time, we really enjoyed stopping at libraries along the way. Mainly just to get out!
