1988 Ford E350 Sportsmobile 4x4 Van asking $12,000 obo
This vans currently located in coastal North Carolina, but I bought it in California and moved here about 2 years ago.
I just moved back to California, but he van is still in NC and I can arrange for someone to look at it, or if you are interested and willing to wait until I ship it, you can see it when it gets to CA.
This a recreational vehicle (RV) conversion camper van with a Sportsmobile Penthouse Top. It is 4x4 and has all the standard RV systems except a permanent toilet. I bought this van in California, drove it to Virgina the following month in July 2012, and now live in North Carolina. It has always only been used for camping. It is licensed as a van and not an RV.
Mileage is just over 76k on the odometer. Noted below, the engine was recently pulled and all gaskets were replaced as a preventative measure. There is no way to tell if the odometer has rolled over and while the age may indicate that it should have, it looks and drives like the 76K is accurate.
In addition to replacing all the camping systems inside the van, I have had a lot of mechanical work done. I have repaired and maintained the van as though I would keep it forever, but as the story goes, life priorities have changed.
