That would be cakeman2253 with the beach modified 4x4 Winnie, "The Blue Whale".
Here's his album link.  I think this is what you have in mind:

He was on the site yesterday.  Remember, you now have full use of the PM system too.

Mark,
Thank's for that Link !


That's my plan.
Did he post a Build Thread ?
I have So many Question's ? ?
It's a Dodge chassis, Right ?
What drive line did he use ?

Sorry, I should have done this sooner...

Here's a link which has some of the basics to his conversion.  You can ask more questions there.

Do understand that you have additional challenges to face, particularly the weight and long wheelbase on your 27'
You're 7' longer and a few thousand pounds heavier.

I will try my best to answer questions; some is just trial and error. Well maybe drink a few beers to figure it out instead of error. Really also depends on what you want to achieve. I only go on the beach, so I am geared really low. Make sure you have a well thought out plan and I will be more than happy to help where I can, If not there is a lot of great additional advice on the forum.
 
Only one suggestion is:  use the search prior to asking, it may have been cover in great detail already.

Hope everyone is doing well, been a busy summer so far. Was on the beach last weekend, hope to make it this weekend too.

RokOn!  Blue Whale!  (I'd pay to ride in it on the beach!)
