Well, it certainly does seem fully priced, especially for a '99 with 120K miles, though the lift and the aux fuel tank are valuable and the 7.3 diesel is a big feature. As new, these were basically just the Chinook motorhome with a 4WD conversion. The biggest problem for any serious use was mediocre ground clearance and a terrible departure angle. This owner's lift will help that quite a bit, but as you can see in the pictures, there's still an issue.
These sold for something in the $100-$120K range when new, IIRC. The Baja Chinook had these brown graphics; one year they had a special Arctic Chinook model which they carefully engineered mostly by substituting blue graphics for the brown.:sombrero:
These (usually) velour-equipped Chinook vans do pretty well on the wife/gf-acceptance scale, so if the partner is never going to sleep in the RTT and use the PETT, this might be a good way to get in some good off-pavement trips with minimal hardship. Or adventure, depending on how you look at it.
