Custom Airstream-Sprinter Moho - must see

Ladies and gentlemen,

I ran across this in a Winnebago View (Itasca Navion) forum. He has interior photos posted also. The link is provided below, but you must join Yahoo groups in order to view.

Thought everyone might like to see this one.

Sho is ugly.

Um.... Thought I'd never see an Airstream diesel motorhome again....

For those who can't see the pics due to the yahoo group membership...

I will say this for them though, they did a great job in terms of quality with the construction. It just isn't for me. Wonder where they got the donor Bambi.

They need to paint the front cab part so it all matches... It would look a little better.... Someone did do a nice job on it though, looks clean..

Looks like a Bambi on a flat bed truck !!!! The new Airstream MOHO look so much better They use the same van as pictured

Wow - that's pretty impressive.

I actually saw the thing at the mothership when I sold my 22 CCD to Sharon (GT1963). I met the couple who designed and use it. I must say that the craftsman vibe is attractive. With decent materials it might actually be an alternative to the bland safari interiors.

There are three steps up into it, and the shower is too SMALL!

The mating of the truck's front end to the Airstream is stylistically a mismatch IMHO, but it was first class workmanship.

I hope that Sprinter was a dualie or at least a 3500.

I knew I'd seen this before -- Check this out...

Interesting getting Paula's first hand observations.

You know, from the way things look in the last interior photo, there isn't a pass through from the cockpit to the cabin. It looks like you would have to get out and go around to the side door and enter the same as if you were towing the trailer or had a pick-up truck with a slide in truck camper. No connection between the front and rear unless there is a window between them because it appears that there is a dinette across the "front" that backs up to the driving compartment with a gaucho across the rear of the living compartment, or the other way around. At first I thought the gaucho was against the driving compartment, then I thought in one of the other photos the dinette would be against the driving compartment, but when I look a third time, it looks like it might be the gaucho.

I think the end with the table is the front. Looks like daylight showing under the "couch" and the only angle for some of the pix there is if you could get behind the couch. If that was the back, you'd be outside.

In pic #2 and 3 you can also see the door, which tells you which is curbside. And on the streetside, you can see the exterior vent for the stove vent hood.

My $.02, half spent.

Still, unless you climb over the dinette benches or remove the table and climb thought between them, it looks like you have to go outside to get from the cab to the living quarters. That needed to be rethought, IMHO.
