Not sure if I want to tackle it or not. Take a gander at the idea and let me know your thoughts.

so basically you want a mog with more creature comforts?

I really dig your mog, it's a damn shame if you ditch the body for some old camper. I dunno though it could be a cool project.

I understand the motivation for the swap, but personally I would keep the mog the way it is.

Coach--I want to meet you someday. You may be crazier than I am. I suggest you find an old Airstream Bambi to graft on there.

Your the second one to reccomend an Airstream. Hmmmm interesting. I can't envision that. Besides Airstreams are collectables and very spendy.

As to wanting creature comforts.... no not really. Function over Form. I want to truely create a efficent Functional Excursion Camper. Mog box space is just too limited. Cab is not efficent for distant travel either. To cramped though I LOVE the look.

Yeah, I agree. A very complicated conversion that would also destroy the collectible Bambi. But it would be more aerodynamic for those hi-speed runs in the Mog. LOL.

If you could get it for a few hundred bucks, I would buy it just for the parts. I would then make my own Airstream-style body for the 'Mog and move all the camper gear into it. Just get yourself some sheet aluminum and some rivets.
