For over two years, while customizing my Argosy at Port Bruce on the north shore of Lake Erie, rumors in the village had it that the trailer would eventually be mounted on the MB Sprinter dually, also parked in the front drive.

That was understandable as it was harder to imagine that my Mini Cooper would be going up there instead:

Here’s a shot of the Mini rolling unto the Sprinter for the first time just last week.

The Argosy is now painted Pepper White and Black to match the Mini. You can see it on my main thread here:

The Winnebago VIEW is a very nice motor home, one of the most elegant I’ve seen.

I saw them for the first time in their Iowa hometown just before I found the Argosy and might have bought one except that they could not be imported into Canada at that time.

Here’s a shot of at least 100 Sprinter Cab and Chassis duallies, more or less like my black one, awaiting conversion at the Winnebago factory.
