This looks really good for the money (classic RV)

Not mine. Just noticed it on Craigslist

Wow, that interior is very clean for it's age.

That is pretty cheap for one of those. Most of them are in the high teens to twenties and I've seen restored examples north of $50K. They have a cult following.

I'd rather buy a wooden sailboat, or fall down some stairs, than buy an old RV.

Can I use that for the story on old trailers I'm working on?

In reply to Kenny_McCormic:

Those are actually pretty good for old RVs. Aluminum frame, one piece fiberglass roof, not prone to leaks. Their biggest problem is discontinued parts. Air bags and front hubs being notable but there are work arounds and aftermarket for those.

Not the original interior

In reply to Kenny_McCormic:

I generally feel the same way but would make an exception for a GMC or Airstream.

So this is probably the place to post these photos that I took at Lime Rock on Labor Day, right?

"That's the facts Jack"

There was an Airstream just like that for sale locally for less than $7k. It even had a new Jasper engine.

There's a food truck on my campus that operates out of one extremely similar to that, of course with one side as solid metal. Cool stuff!

I suppose the GMCs aren't that bad in that they don't tend to leak or rot (is there any wood in one?), but it's still a relatively maintenance intensive E36 M3ty version of your house that sucks gas and needs insurance and tags kept on it.

Feel free.

Yeah, but you can't drive your house to the track.

That's an asking price of just under $6700 US at current exchange rates.Not bad at all.

They seem to vary a lot. Poking around Detroit Craigslist, they vary from $1400 to $44k, but most seem to be in the $8-12k range. Personally, I dig them, but I'm just afraid of what a 40-year-old motorhome entails.

Having owned RVs, I'm afraid of what a 4 year old one entails.
