Interested in a '86 Conestoga truck camper, need help in Portland area!
I think I seen a request like this on here before, but don't know where it should go. Hope here is OK.
I've found what looks like a good deal on a very nice looking '86 Conestoga 9' truck camper. It is self-contained, the owner says that everything works good, and it is well equipped. The problem is that it is in Oregon, near Portland and I am still in Peru. I also plan on flying into Miami and looking for my NPR there (just bought my ticket today, yeah!). Then I will be driving to Minnesota to visit family, which is still a long way from Oregon! I had also hoped to build the camper in Florida (If I could find both the truck and camper there) or in Minnesota. I suppose I could drive to Oregon and try to find a place to do it there.
He was asking $1650 for the camper, and I suggested $1500 if it checks out OK, and he didn't say no. It is currently mounted on an old Ford F250 that he said he would sell for $1250. I have no desire for the truck, but it would provide a way to get the camper to Minnesota, and then try to sell the truck. Anyone interested in it? He says "it is a 1969 f250 2wd 390 v-8, c-6 at, posi rear end, newer e-range tires, overload springs,sway bars,brake controller, receiver hitch front and back, custom bumpers, etc."
Is there anyone on here that lives near Portland (it's in Oregon City, about 20 miles south of there it looks like), that would be willing to check it out for me? I know it is a big favor, especially as I don't know any of you, but I guess that is part of what the ExPo family is all about!
Thanks,
