Now this is a fun renovation! According to the builder, they stripped this 1987 Winnebago down to the truck frame and rebuilt the entire camper. While he was able to salvage some of the original appliances, everything else is new.
And that comes with benefits! Firstly, no mold. Secondly, he used low-or-no VOC materials to make this a low-toxin environment for the new owners.
There’s an over-cab bed, and a dinette that can sleep one or two. Check it out below! It’s for sale here.

The 22RE had a top horsepower of 105; adequate for the small truck it was built to power. Imo, significantly less than adequate for a fully supplied and loaded rv. The specs say nothing about recent engine upgrades or replacement. This time, not for me.
Well, that’s the original specs for that engine but in 1985 the max horsepower was increased to 114 at the same engine speed while the peak torque was 140 lb-ft at 3600 RPM… This unit is from 1987, so would include that minor upgrade… Still, not great, especially by modern standards, but this engine was more known for its great durability and reliability, with some reports of the engine reaching 1 million miles…
