Bought a 1988 Dodge Van Conversion 17' RV. Was less than $4000 but we will have to put in another $1000-1500 to get it running like we want. Needs a water heater and shower, but we have several ideas already. The 1st owner took very good care of it. I gave it a tune up. New batteries will be needed because it sat so much. Only has 54k miles in 21 years! Needed 2 new rear tires that were rotten sitting too.
It has fuel injection, 4 speed automatic overdrive, 318 V-8. Got 14 mpg going 65 mph from Tori's. Last RV got only 7!
I bought a motorcycle trailer to pull behind it. It has a stove, frig, small toilet, and sink. The sofa makes into a bed. I took out the overhead bed for storage because there is no closets for clothing and junk. The PO's also put in several things we don't need I took out to save weight.
In 2 weeks we are going to Balmorea State Park. It will be our first camping expedition and initial shakedown cruise.
More after we go....
Planning several trips to New England, National Parks, east Texas, and weekday local getaways.
