Meet "Eddy" - our trusty motorhome
Eddy is our Fleetwood Tioga 24D LHD American RV/Motorhome, who has been our home since July last year as we travel down
the Pan-American Highway. Eddy started the journey on the Dalton Highway to and from Deadhorse, Alaska, and has served
us brilliantly well.
We expect to end our journey in Ushuaia in Southern Argentina in late April or early May 2016, and reluctantly will have
to sell Eddy then. We are however flexible in terms of where we can meet you!
Here is a link to Eddy's specification (24D model) https://media.rvusa.com/library/2003_ti_f.pdf
These are Eddy's key attributes:-
Ford E450 v10 engine is the workhorse of American motorhomes - this is used by the rental companies as it is the most
reliable, and it has been 100% reliable for us, as well as being very easy to handle and drive on fast trunk roads, and
on poor road surfaces.
Gasoline - lots of power, so overtaking is easy
Mileage will likely be around 100,000 to 105,000 (we are still driving, it is 92,000 now). Eddy has had his oil changed
every 4000-5000 miles and has also had his brakes replaced regularly. He also has a full set of Michelin tyres.
High wheel arches/ground clearance
6 berth (double bed over cab, double bed at back, central dinette converts to double bed. Both permanent double-beds
have memory foam mattress toppers (very comfortable!)
Ducted air conditioning/heating system, propane water heater, gasoline generator
Bathroom has toilet, shower and wash basin
Kitchen has 3 ring hob, oven and microwave (not used), cooker hood, sink, large fridge- freezer and ample cupboard
space. All gas appliances run on propane from a fixed external tank.
Plenty of internal and external storage cupboards
Insect screens on all opening windows and side door
Multispeed bidirectional fan over top bed, and 2x 12-volt fans which can be moved to different positions if required.
CD/Radio with Bluetooth capability
Satellite TV antenna with connector point
16 foot awning,
Thule 5 bicycle locking folding rack & 2 adult-sized bicycles
Alamo alarm on front doors, side door, with movement sensor
Eddy has a few "quirks", but we have learnt to live with them, and none are show-stoppers - the price does reflect
these:-
Mismatching side view mirrors
Some internal rattles that we notice on rough road surfaces
Small tear in awning (patched)
In addition to all the standard and extra options, Eddy comes fully equipped with a full set of kitchen equipment (pans,
cutlery, crockery etc), and high quality 400thc cotton bedding for both double beds (sheets, duvets, pillows).
Eddy also comes with a comprehensive set of high spec tools and equipment, including 12 ton bottle jack, compressor set,
tow rope, heavy duty extension wire etc (total retail value around $2000) - see picture.
Eddy is registered in Alaska, USA. Although there are regulations which mean Eddy cannot be imported permanently to
Argentina, there is no problem with selling to anybody who will drive the vehicle out of the country, and we can help
with this procedure. We are UK citizens who bought Eddy in the USA, and we therefore understand the registration
process.
The NADA blue-book price for Eddy is $14,800 to $17,800 depending on condition- we are asking only $10,995 ono , which
includes all the extras listed above, for a quick sale in Southern Argentina in late April or early May 2016.
