Awesome job, Ben. I have had thoughts of doing exactly what you have with an old toyota RV. I looked at one a few weeks ago that had 42K on it with similar roof damage. Not having a shop kept me from buying it. My idea was to make it into a B class with tapering to the rear as has been suggested. Losing the cabover bunk would mean sleeping accommodations for 2, but that suits me. Another thing you ought to look into is a 5 speed conversion. This is typically good for an mpg or 3. I am going to link this to a toyhouse site or two. There are many there that would be very interested. Where in Maine are you? I am in Ct and make it up there regularly.
