SOLD: Peanut, our 1998 Stewart and Stevenson M1078 LMTV
The time has finally come to re-home Peanut. Building and living out of this truck has been one of the most transformative and rewarding projects that Christina and I have undertaken. It has taken us to so many incredible places that we’ve been able to call “home” if even just for a night and we’ve been able to make so many great memories with friends new and old that we are forever thankful for!
Although we are sad to part ways with this beautiful and unique little home on wheels, we know that it will take its future owner on some incredible adventures too! Peanut is ready and waiting for you!
