I run a car dealership in CA and the rules are pretty simple.
1. have it driven by an agent of the seller out of state (unlikely they’ll do this)
2. Transport/tow it out of state and the wheels don’t touch the ground. Usually the seller has to control the bill of lading to ensure it’s not...
Can you speak to the mechanical condition a bit or list any maintenance that has been done. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one nervous about 140,000+ miles on an expedition platform where the intent is to be away from it all... ??.
My heart says buy a plane ticket and drive it home to San...
Wow! What a temptress. I’m 30 min away by the coast and the sheer proximity and price are enough to drive me wild. Should we all flag the airport about the guy in montana as positive COVID so he can’t travel, or is that too evil? Really cool stuff. Cheers to the buyer! It’ll be great fun.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH: if you look at my photo, i have some experience with Ambo campers. Mine is a 7.3l diesel (considered to be the holy grail) and yet it was factory replaced ten years ago at 90k and now with only 20 k on the replacement, it leaks all over... My current build (not going to...
Dear god i hate this truck! What o mean to say, is that I love it, but it eludes me year in and year out! It pops up and then disappears like a bandit in the night (ya get it? Bandit...??? ok sorry...
Seriously though, I’d bit it now if I could.
I recently discovered that the seller of these “possibly questionable” rigs lives three houses from me. I’m happy to go be an impartial judge or get you more pics. Just
pM me. He has a desert type 7 ambo, a sportsmobile creation and this van ambo now. Pretty good looking driveway if you ask me...
It runs when the engine is in it, or it runs now? The pics of the running gear on a pallet are throwing me off.
* interested for more pics as well. And I’m local ?
I saw this van parked right next to a Toyota Fj60 on my drove home Tuesday. Made the 7/11 look very nice! Ther have been a lot of cool rigs on that corner recently.
Elements are a “know what you have” type of vehicle. They are great on slippery surfaces, forest trails and wonderful in icy conditions. They are NOT off-roaders! The flex issue comes from pretending they are Jeeps lol. i have never owned a camper, but I did drive a 225k awd example for a year...
I ran a Carfax on it and it’s listed as a 5.7l 4x4 and has fairly good service history.
It was born In CA and at ~70,000 it went east to the Carolinas and Arkansas for most of its life. (It’s listed as a 5 owner vehicle). In 2017 it went to FL.
Cool rig. Too bad my many children would t fit...
** UPDATE: the other sales person (Jesse) was misinformed and it is not CA friendly. They thought it had an engine swap to a CA compliant spec, but he was in error. Additionally, the belly box containing the sink and two burner stove will not constitute a CA motorhome. it'll make a fun toy in a...
Holy crap Batman!! At first glance, it’s $100,000 above the sportsmobile market, but I’ll admit, it’s VERY NICE and excellent design. If money were no object... yes.
I want to want this so bad!! Make sense? No not really. It’s so awesome in the pics and seems like something I could tinker on and use for a years, but then I read all the “custom” adaptations and transmission concerns and the dream goes poof!
* just pay the money and put a 2.8 Cummins crate...
