$12,000 obo
The truck is a 1997 chevy 3500 4 door dually with only 50,500 miles. Cold AC, cruise, leather, alpine mp3 cd player with input for mp3 players, alpine amp, aftermarket speakers, 100% dynamat on all surfaces for a super quiet ride, bilstein HD shocks, hellwig rear sway bar, firestone air bags with in cab controlls, viar onboard air pump and tank, goodyear silent armor tires are about 3 yrs old with about 5000 miles on them, upgraded alternator and power wires, well maintained.
The camper is a 1990 vacationeer 11.5' cab over camper. It was recently resealed by removing ALL seals and screws and properly sealing everything up. A new roof was installed in the last 6 months. Alumatech solid frame construction. 12V Maxxfan mounted where the AC used to be because the AC only worked when it was plugged in (and it removed 70lb off the roof!). Powerful heater, ~30 gallons fresh water tank, 6 gallon hot water heater (super hot!), dry bath, alpine mp3 cd player with external jack for other mp3 players, trimetric battery analyzer to keep track of % full, amp hours used, current amps, etc, dual 6V golf cart batteries (new in 09 or 10 ~$400) for 215 amp hours of power, sink, 4 burner stove with oven, good size dometic fridge and freezer, 2 "large size" propane tanks (about 8" taller than bbq size tanks), and loads of storage. This is setup for dry camping and its under the 25' limit for many national parks. It can be parked in regular parking lots if you park diagonally in 2 spots. We have done many 4-5 day trips where the temps never got over 40F and we never used more than half of one propane tank, and the batteries stayed over 50%. The gray water tank would start to get full on long trips, so we would normally dump some into the black tank (pull 2 valves). If you limit dish washing in the sink you could probably do a week in this rig. It drives real nice and it can do 75mph up a grade if you floor it, but 65mph burns less gas and doesn't strain it at all. The seats are very comfortable and the rear seats have the most leg room out of any vehicle I've been in. We have done 7+ hr trips with 5 adults many times. I am very sad to sell it due to all the hard work I put into making everything work perfectly, but the wife decided we needed something a bit bigger. This is a great rig with tons of life left in it.
I have loads more info and pictures with detailed info on the modifications on my website here http://www.joegorm.com/for_sale.htm I have also uploaded two youtube videos to my website with a walk around of both the truck and the camper.
