Tiger XL, based off of a Chevrolet Astro platform
1991
AWD
123,000 miles
4.3 V6
automatic
Clean title in my name
All original appliances
I purchased it from a coworker last summer, and they have owned it since the 1990’s. Every spring it was brought to the mechanic, tuned and they used it for summer trips. It has seen both coast multiple times, and been all over the west. According to them, the shower has never been used, and bathroom only used for #1. The person they purchased it from was too large to fit in the bathroom. I bought the Tiger with the intention of completely rebuilding it. Last summer/fall I was back in school 70 miles from my house, and used the Tiger as a place to sleep in the parking lot, using the bathroom at the gym. It drives 65-70mph comfortably, and I saw up to 18mpg. It is stored under a cover, and always fires up.
Needs:
The Tiger does need a lot of work, I’m not trying to hide anything and will be as transparent as possible.

- The roof sags slightly leaking underneath the AC unit. It’s enough where replacing the AC seal won’t repair it. My plan was to cut out the AC hole and put in a large skylight.
- Where the top and bottom half of the camper body meet was open with water intrusion. I sealed it up, but it’ll need to be addressed.
- Electrical: None of the lights in the ceiling work, radio doesn’t work, CB doesn’t work. The water pump turns on, PO says AC/heat unit on ceiling works well when plugged in at a campground
- Fridge barely works. All the appliances are original and really should be replaced.
- Interior walls have some stains/ holes in the wood and carpeted areas.
- Exterior has dings all around, some of the exterior camper compartment doors need replaced. Hood is spray painted original color. Paint/ vinyl all around could use replacement
- Transmission works, but is a hard shift from 1-2. PO said its been like that for many years.
- Minor smoke on startup, fairly normal for this motor
- PO tried to install an awning by mounting flagpole mounts in the side, which leaked and caused mold to start in the upper cabinet. It is currently sealed.
- Probably more things that I have forgotten
