The forum didn't offer "General Discussion" to post my thread in so I chose this as the next best option. Long story short, life happened and I did not get to realize the nomadic life like many of you out there. This is not a "classified ad" for my van either.
I actually came for some wisdom. It looks like the best thing to do is to sell my van. It is only 3/4 of the way built (by my plans). Other than mounting the panels, the solar is not installed, I have brand new components waiting to be put in. I have neither the time nor the resources to go further with the build.
I'd like to sell but I'm confused about what pricing. Was wondering if someone who has sold their rig could message me off the thread to provide some advise.
Thanks.
 
Basically a modified but uncompleted van is worth less than a stock manufactured van or a completed all systems tested and working van. Vans in this state are considered projects. Normally your best bet is to sell the uninstalled components or systems by themselves or individually and put the van back to the stock configuration as much as possible in order to come close to getting most of your money back. People usually prefer to modify vans to meet their individual preferences. If you mounted a roof rack and put holes in the roof it would probably be best to leave the rack as the holes would need to be repaired to prevent leaking. Most commercial buyers don’t mind having a roof rack already mounted but certainly don’t want solar panels.
