Comments?

The fold down bunks on either side are cool.

I think big ceiling skylights and bigger windows would allow more natural light in, and a sturdy rear bumper would help protect the tail end.

Overall, it's a nice mid sized rig they are calling a Class C.

What do you think it's worth?

For 42,000 I think it's a deal.

Get rid of that van and get yourself one of these. Definetly could be a day cruiser or haul that race trailer.

I called and asked about the rig. He says it's a one owner in good-very good cond.

$39,000 reserve.

Can anyone estimate it's weight, it's gvwr and gcwr?

the ad says it can tow a 10,000lb trailer.

how much do you estimate the cabin to cost?

said he had reciepts for $60 plus for the tractor portion.

My rig weights in at 11,450 front and 18,890 rear.

I would say less the slides and the 5' you are going to be in the 25,000 lb range, possibly less.

....."sounds healthy"....what the hell does that mean?.....loop pile[commercial] carpet in a MH is a big mistake unless you can take it out side and clean it with a hose/pressure washer and leave it dry in the sun for 2-4 days....can't use an extractor without a drying system on for at least 3 days....I hate red but you might like red-looks like an ambulance to me or a X-fire truck....."red is usually a sign of menopause".....we call it "Menopause Red" in the remodeling business when a middle aged woman chooses a red vehicle or room color or accent color....Drives them crazy when we point it out to them!.....I'd never choose a tile floor -too cold on bare feet in winter and acts like a large cold plate-can get slick in winter because of condinsation......$39k might be good in spring-but remember this is the end of the RV season.....I'd beat them down some.... They are a commercial rental place so -I'd suggest a close look at the transmission and brakes...should be all air-if electric over hydaaulic they are expensive to repair....geofkaye.....buyer-be aware!....

Thanks for the comments.

How much do estimate it cost to build the box portion. Owner says $60 for the truck part.

I'm not fond of red color either. Just doesn't fit right with a truck like this. I would have preferred silver, gray, dark blue...but if you put emergency lights on the roof, you could make it look like an emergency vehicle and then you could try to drive into places that are usually off limits and if and when you get caught, you just tell them that you were flagged in and it's no big deal...

Do you think linoleum or wood would be a better choice for the kitchen floor rather than tile?

How do you like the fold down bunks?

Why is the forward driver side cabin window above the couch so small? Why isn't it bigger?

And no windows in the bathroom? Think there's a skylight?

The kitchen occupies most of the rear portion of the truck. Looks like a good place to cook food...I'm getting hungry just thinking about food.

I just looked at ebay and it appears that is has been sold for $38,000.

Oh well, I guess maybe a better one will come along right?

Thanks.
