1988 Astro Tiger Pop-Top 4WD 77,000 miles - $8000

No Affiliation. Looks super cool and could definitely be a good platform for a build if you strip the interior ( which isn't in bad shape ).
Would be cool to see what someone on here could do with it.

--Newer replaced rear light assembly.
--Have front bra that makes RV look really sharp.
--Has interior furnace, 3 burner stove and refrigeration. I have not hooked up the propane, so I don't know how well heater or stove work. 3-way, 3 cu ft refrigerator runs surprisingly cold on electricity. I haven't tried the propane method.

Comes with extra accessories: newer, small 12V espresso maker, large water container for drinking that fits snugly in one of the sinks, extra Durabak paint for touch-ups, 12kV to 120 converters, extra hose, study jack, used beauty rings, beauty center caps for rear rims, new air filter and oil filter, and never used bug-proof mattress cover on top bunk.

Person who buys this needs enough strength to raise/lower the top. Probably not for disabled person unless rigs some king of automatic system.

Probably most appropriate for 1-2 persons. Can sleep 3-4 in a pinch. Good option for fishermen or hunters who are tired of tent camping and who want more amenities.
