It took us over 2 years of searching (and saving) to find the perfect adventure rig for touring the country: a 1997 dodge b350 van Extended, with a complete custom camper interior. Runs well and meticulously cared for, high-quality custom-built interior showing just as little wear. Today, we are making the tough decision to sell our baby.
This van is in good mechanical condition,and customized just right. We looked for the 318 EFI engine for its fuel economy and versatility. The small-block holds power to spare, while features like Cruise Control, Overdrive, a 35-gal (larger than stock) fuel tank, and EFI help you maximize your MPG's. Runs and drives perfect, as it should with only an easy 180K highway-mile break-in. This model year is the perfect balance between heavy duty and luxury- SRS Airbags, ABS, Cruise-Control, Tilt Steering, Power Windows, and freezing-cold Air Conditioning. With Pleasureway built in Saskatoon BC you have everything you would want and need, without any of the fragile frills and tassels plaguing newer model-years. this is not a euro not a sprinter tho is a 350 chassis with big (and new) brakes, big springs on Daystar spacers give 2" lift front and rear has additional leafs, with optional air bags if a trailer is involved. Bielstein dampers on all four corners and Load E bfg ATs 265 75r 16 let this van carve turns in the mountains or easily navigate mild off road scenarios.
The interior camper build is spacious and incredibly well designed, with over 6'2'' head clearance and ridiculous amounts of storage. Custom tailored curtains snap-fit to every window for privacy, fabric matching the immaculate seat and bed upholstery. Solid-wood cabinets and pull-out/ pop-up counters for a luxurious and warm feel, with much higher-quality materials than you will see in most modern Sportsmobiles and the like. A 3-way large-capacity Norcold refrigerator + freezer combo works excellent, and is double the size of most RV fridges. Run it off your DC battery while you're driving, plug it in to 120v when practical, or just switch it on to propane mode whenever you want. The 10-gallon propane tank lasts about 2 weeks, and also runs the 2-burner stove, space-heater, and 8 gallon water heater for nice hot showers outdoors, or in the fully functional bathroom. Electric pump feeds water through plumbing from a 20-gallon fresh water tank, minor PEX work needs to be completed. pex wasn't what it is today in 97 and has fatigued. Black and grey-water tanks are installed outside, underneath the vehicle. Plenty of windows for ventilation, combined roof vent and rooftop FanTastic brand extraction vent on the top (with "in" and "out" modes) All interior lights and electric camper appliances run off the full sized RV auxiliary battery under the couch, which charges through the alternator while driving (secondary to main battery) Onan generator for coffee maker and microwave..
The exterior of the van is all white, with awesome dolphin stickers- she has lived a Utah life, for the most part, with a year in Phoenix, AZ and some National Park tours, keeping her rust-free. Tires are new with plenty of tread. The full size spare tire rack-and running-boards give the exterior a distinguished look without making it flashy, and the teal and green decals and decorations make it the perfect vehicle for "flying under the radar" when Urban-Stealth camping. Big enough to live in full time, yet small enough to fit in a parking space at the grocery store or in downtown LA more at home on a red rock in Moab. Imagine camping in the ski resort parking lot with the heat set at 60 or so all night waking up to fresh tracks or a hot shower after a bike ride.
It's been our experience that a vehicle like this doesn't come up for sale very often, and doesn't last long when it does. It will be with a knot in our throats that we will watch "the P Dub" go to a new home much too soon. $14,500 doesn't begin to cover what we have into her, but lack of child seat and a new pop up is forcing us to re-allocate funds. Feel free to contact us by phone or email with any questions. Thanks! (and thanks to the sports mobile owner for content)
