Not mine, but wow, this guy went all out. Looks like it has a DC Roof Air as well.

Very nice...that looks like a really good deal.

Note the use of all the 80/20 for framing...sure is a nice product.

I'm not familiar with your reference. The metal track stuff?

 

[BradKW]

yeah, it's basically an erector set for adults...

This looks like aluminum strut channel. Steel strut channel is commonly used in electrical installations and can be found at your local Lowes or Home Depot along with various accessories that go with it. I have occasional need for the much lighter aluminum version at work. I get it from McMaster-Carr, mainly because my employer has an account with them. A simple google search for "aluminum strut channel" will find plenty of results for suppliers.

What's the catch? That van probably bluebooks at $25K, and it's got about $20,000 worth of kit bolted onto it. Not to mention the hundreds of hours it took to build. If it had a Sportsmobile badge on it, it would sell for $50,000+ any day of the week. Somebody is going to get a great deal on this thing.

Really?

The specs on that AC say 45 amp and it had 1000ah of lithium batteries. Depending on how much you ran the AC I'd believe it.

Holy cow, that's a nice looking rig, but something doesn't add up, unless the seller is blowing the country to avoid some legal issues and doesn't have time to stick around.   That van should be selling for a lot more than $25K, even without the house-batteries!  

Definitely want to have it looked at by a qualified mechanic, though.  Could be a little hard to get your money back if it turns out there's something seriously wrong with it when the seller is in Thailand.   :-/

I doubt there is anything wrong with it.  The problem is there is no respect for homebuilt stuff, even though it can be far higher quality than factory made.

I bet if we listed our homebuilt truck camper and truck we would get no takers at $30,000 even though we have far more in it than that (especially if you include labor).   If it had a sticker on it that said Winnebego, we could get $80k, even if half the screws had missed their mark.

Sweet looking van - thanks for showing.

How many miles on that thing? 25K does seem low..

I didn't realize those came with a V6. I wonder how it does, mpg-wise, with that set-up.

 

[SoulRaven]

Daaaaaang that's nice. If only I had 25K lying around...

Man, this is so tempting. However, wanting to do my own build, i think i'd end up removing a lot of what's in there. The best deals usually come from people needing to leave the country. If they get down to the wire, could prob even get it for a little less.

Looks like the ad has been deleted. Probably sold already.
