The camper is custom built with a Wesphalia pop-top, stove, sink, heater, etc. If you're looking for more utility capability, it comes with a custom flatbed in addition to the expedition camper box. In most of the photos, the camper box is sitting on top of the flatbed. It also has brand new Continental MPT81 tires, new cab soft-top, and a newly rebuilt transmission. The tires alone are worth over $2000!

Truck is located in Boulder, CO. Asking $8000

Sure looks like a good idea

Hi Luke,

Lotta guys (myself included) spend a lotta time thinking of this type of graft. I have seen yours for sale around the web for a couple of months now; and frankly, I can't believe no one has bought it.

Of the people that come look at it, what reason do they give for not buying it? With something like this, I am sure you get a lot of lookie-lou's. But of the legitimate-ish buyers, what turns them away from a sale?

My guess is that there must be something the pix don't tell, because it looks supremely appropriate for someone. Obviously, I would not ask you to divulge any buyer secrets, but maybe you could offer your opinion as to why it has lasted on the market this long...



Good luck with the sale. Try to sell it to someone from California, so I can watch for it driving around here.

I'm not sure why it hasn't sold yet either. It's priced to sell.

In truth, only a couple people have come to look at it. It's a pretty small market for people who actually will buy one of these things, vs. just wanting too. I have a fairly serious buyer who's thinking about it right now, so cross your fingers.

If anything turns people away, it's that it's been sitting for a few years, and just needs some "coming out of hibernation" work to get back into top form.

I'm trying to sell my wife on something like this instead of getting the trailer that she wants.
Do you have any more pics and what mpg does it get on the road... only ask because that is something she is concerned about.
