I am the second owner of "Blu", the AirForce being the first. Carfax shows that the AirForce maintained the van ahead of schedule and I have done the same. I have kept all maintenance records and have complete maintenance history since 2006. It's never missed an oil change. The campervan was designed to keep it simple and to maximize the available space and minimize weight. The sofa coverts to a full-size bed which allows for ample walk-around space. The van size, along with interior layout allows for optimal space for living and storage. This is convenient when camping not only for a weekend but traveling/camping on extended trips. Another advantageous feature is 31 cubic feet of the storage which is accessible from both the inside or the outside of the van. Fancy, no; functional, yes.
I wanted to optimize storage space, weight, simplicity, accessibility (from inside or outside) and durability while allowing for as much walkaround space as possible. The functional design has allowed us to travel comfortably for up to 6 weeks at a time.
