Hi guys. I am new here and new to the Dodge World. I am from the UK but have been living here in Spain almost half of my life now. I wanted a vehicle to do long journeys with my son and my huge rough collie dog, so I started to look around for vans that I could get camper converted. Problem is, the vans we have have here such as Mercedes and Volkswagen arenīt really that comfortable, and are stupidly expensive second hand. So, I found myself a Dodge Ram B250 Winnebago Conversion Van from 1995 for sale, and I picked it up two days ago. Here are a few quick pictures of the exterior. Over on the Ram Van forum I will be posting a question regards getting some seatbelt parts. The van needs a few interior repairs (nothing too major) but it runs beautifully with its 5.2 V8.
No rust. Handling is different to what I am used to. And the streets here are not too bad, but obviously I have to be more careful than I would be if I was driving in the US.

Actually, in the U.S. most roads are much wider and you don't have 500 to 600 year old buildings you have to squeeze between. The thing to watch for is where the road goes through a gate that was designed for a horse and wagon. I have a complete collection of Top Gear season 1 through 28 and I marvel when a car will pull out of what looks like a door for people.

Thatīs true about the old parts of towns here. To be honest, I generally avoid those places by car as I also have an old Lada Niva 4x4 I use for going up in to the mountains (and also for buzzing around town). It is tiny so would fit easily down the streets, but no power steering so any slow maneuver is a pain in the butt. And I wouldnīt dream of trying to fit the Dodge down those streets.
Mine is running standard petrol. It doesnīt have LPG conversion, and I was really never convinced by LPG to be honest. Years ago I heard stories of how engines suffered and didnīt last as long running LPG. Maybe just Urban Legends, but it put me off. I need to plan a road trip with my son, but when the weather gets better and warmer
My roots are in the region Castilla la Vieja, Segovia. But I visit normally Barcelona Valencia Madrid... That triangle.
LPG is rather common in the Netherlands.
It runs a little hotter, slightly less power, but if used normal, (not voor long high speed travel, so not doing 90mph for thousands of miles) it will last longer than most other parts on your car.
100-110 KmH is my regular speed.
