Had it for about a year, took a break from van life nomading, and am now in a different phase. Time to pass it on to someone who wants to take it to the next level.
More pictures coming. I'll be setting up appointments, and expect this to go quickly. Email me if interested.
Basics:
Van is a bubble top, and has a custom-sized bed built in the back. Was installed by last owner, and the mattress is a super comfortable memory foam mattress. Storage cubbies under the bed in the back.
The rest of the interior is partially gutted; most of the original side panels have been removed, so you will have a little easier time building it out.
Worked remotely from this van, and taken on many trips to Joshua Tree :)
Issues upfront:
-Transmission will need to be replaced at some point. It runs and drives, but the shift from 2nd to 3rd is rough. Got it taken to 3 mechanics, and all said it will fail at some point, but no one can tell me when. Could be 1,000 miles, could be 10,000, could be 30,000.
-Check engine light is on for an evap leak, I chased the cause a little, and replaced a few hoses, but not a serious investigation.
-Struts might be tired, but were not a priority for me
- Front brakes will need to be replaced soonish.
- Registration past due - I will deduct the registration fees from the sale price.
Recent Work:
Pretty much brand new tires, less than 1000 miles on them. Front brakes replaced 3000 miles ago.
Price:
The price is set accordingly, with the issues in mind. There's only 107,000 miles on her. Fix the transmission, and there should be many, many miles ahead!
