I thought of restoring one they had for sale at PPL in Houston a few years back, but I’m not really into trying to make old stuff look new.
For what it’s worth, new extended high-roof ProMaster cargo vans are larger inside than Vixen or Winnebago B+ like LeSharo from the past. That’s why vans are now as popular as Class As.
Here’s some related yet useless information: In Europe the Ducato (their ProMaster) is built with an even higher roof that yields about 7-feet of headroom. Because of added vertical clearance, the same type of drop-down bed is used in a regular van. To me a regular Class B van with a bed like the Oasis 540 makes a nice motorhome for a small family.
