The AWD Astro-based platform is highly sought after for its compact size and capability.

The Ultimate Four-Season Compact Rig

Unlike many smaller campers that use pop-tops, the Tiger XL features a “hard-top” design with a one-piece molded fiberglass roof and a fully insulated aluminum body. This makes it a true four-season vehicle, capable of keeping you comfortable from summer heat to mountain winters.

  • Chassis: Chevrolet Astro AWD (Light-Duty Truck)
  • Engine: 4.3-liter Vortec V6 with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
  • Mileage: 182,100 miles (with extensive preventative maintenance).
  • Off-Road Ready: AWD capability combined with a compact footprint and adjustable rear air shocks.

The interior is fully self-contained with a kitchen, dinette, and bathroom.

Fully Self-Contained Interior

Despite its compact size, the Tiger XL is a fully functional home on wheels. It includes a wet bath, a complete kitchen, and multiple sleeping areas.

  • Sleeping: A dinette that converts into a bed, plus a slide-out, adjustable-width cab-over bed for extra guests or storage.
  • Kitchen: Galley equipped with a two-burner gas stove, a two-sided sink, and a 3-way powered refrigerator (12V/110V/Propane).
  • Bathroom: A rare find in a vehicle this size—an enclosed toilet and shower.

Meticulously Maintained & Ready for Adventure

The seller notes that this Tiger is likely in the top 5–10% of survivors globally due to its unmodified, original condition. A major preventative service was performed just 24,000 miles ago, covering everything from the water pump to the oil pan gaskets.
