Yo Mike, there was a pretty nice lookin '79 Chevy conversion van outfitted for camping advertised on craiglist.com. Go to the portland site, and check out autos for sale. It was put up in the last couple of days and sells for about $2k.
As for the Sycro issue, I would love a Syncro camper, but they typically sell for about $15,000 minimum. Ouch! I checked out a pretty sweet burgundy camper (2wd) today out in Corbett - a 1990 and he wants $12k for it. Probably too steep, but it was in nice condition.
