I think the miles are going to be top of mind for anyone, especially at your asking price with a downward trending market. If there was any major maintenance history on the drivetrain and engine you have awareness of or documented that you can list, that would certainly help. I just assume that since it isn't listed, you may not know the prior history which to me is a pretty big deterrent.

Otherwise, looks like a real decent start for someone?

Thanks for the comment @RVRoams. I agree that the miles are a major consideration. I always figured that a powertrain/drivetrain replacement wouldn't be too costly if that ever were to come up. But I will say that the van runs pretty damn great. Never had an issue and I anticipate that it'll continue to run well with basic maintenance.

As far as history, it was a fleet vehicle and meticulously serviced from the time it was new until mid 2013. At that point, the 2nd owner purchased it with roughly 260,000 miles. He took good care of it until I bought it in 2020, making me the 3rd owner. I do have a copy of the carfax from when I bought it if anyone is interested.

Not a potential buyer but curious what the exact standing height is?

@BajaSurfRig the top is a Fiberine 24” bubble top. I believe they claim 6’4” standing height at the tallest point.

In my van, I added sound deadening, insulation, 1/2” ply subfloor, and the vinyl coin flooring so it’s a little shorter probably around 6’3”.

For color: I replaced the 5.4l in my ‘06 e350 RV with a jasper engine a few years back. All in it was just under $7k. Maybe that helps people figure out future costs. Good luck with sale.

Thanks for the info @jgrow. That sounds reasonable for a jasper engine. I've also seen low-mileage engines from dismantlers for less as well. Plenty of options for replacements since the 5.4L was so widely used.
