Nice!
Is that an accessible camp site or are they all cement like that?

We just picked it blindly and I am sure it is handicap accessible but the office said nothing about it. Crazy camping on concrete.

I have the portable ecoflows and I love them. Only downside is not getting power unless they are set up.

Right on. I have two Jackery power units. A 2000 and 1000. They are both very handy to have at home and on the road.

I just bought an ecoflow! What do you mean by "not getting power unless they are set up"?

That's my dream right right there. Im looking for one right now, and there is nothing that clean! I really love the swinging side doors, as well.

Why is it paved…

We blindly picked this spot at the front office and they never mentioned it was concrete. Has to handicap accessible site. Beats the mud.

Are these cars still sold in the us? Can’t find this line in EU at all, if, only old ones

They were made like this til 2014. They still make them but they are cab and chassis only now. Meaning no back end. Some company make a fiberglass back part now that is somewhat wider. Sportsmobile uses them now.

I just purchased a 08 e250. Looking great. What lift in front did you go with? What kind of wheels are those?
