Class C van RVs... cheaper than a Sportsmobile

[Toyotero]

I spotted a pair of, lets say, "fixer uppers" on CL today.

Both near Austin

I have a 1977 Dodge Explorer class B RV with a 318 motor
I don't remember the mileage but it has a strong V8. I do have the title. There is a sink with working pump, a toilet, an oven, stove and a furnace. Truck doesn't have A/C. It does need some work to the back area. I pulled out the bad wood and re-framed the bed area. All it needs is to have paneling replaced (in the back). Windows all work well. It has a table that is also used as the platform to sleep. The RV can sleep 4. I replaced the brake lines and calipers last year. And drove it from Austin to SA.
I was just using it to pull my jet skis to the lake on weekends. If you don't intend to drive it much, you could get antique plates like I did. It'll likely cost you $30 for the three years remaining. (tax office pro-rates 5 year registration)
$1200 o.b.o.

I bet you could get a cheap deal on that 1977 Dodge Explorer. He started at $1500 OBO in the title and by the end of his description he was at $1200 OBO. So a $300 discount is the space of 6 lines. Think what you could get it down to if you have a silver tongue :sombrero:

If you show up, he may pay YOU to take it away...

I considered going to see the 1980 Merry Miler 1980 Ford E350 just to see what a "toilet shower cooktop" looks like. I like multi-function systems, but jeez loueez. :Wow1:
