    Only for those who want to sleep in their own bed when under way. For me it’s not because I want to cook and my own bathroom.

    Wow, really there’s not even a kitchen, compost toilet, or shower. It looks great and mileage isn’t bad but $18,000. Sorry you might be sitting on this one for awhile. Great looking and bed ready. Wow no kitchen bathroom, camping gear, pop up tent, awning, b,b,q,er. The carpet is not realistic, one time in sand and it’s all over the inside. There’s not even a outside hose to rinse your feet off. I mean is there any water tanks? You don’t have it set up for a tiny house so you might want to cater to a different market like Auto USA or something like that. I’m sorry up front but honestly you did a lot of work and I bet it purrs but it’s not a tiny house. Good luck with it.

      Hmm… Looked it up, price seems to be the average for this model right now, it’s apparently a fairly popular collectable that’s getting harder to find that people like to modify and DIY a camper setup and they did fix up the engine, etc. and added a bit of solar power…

      This one is lacking the camping part, but that’s a lift storage bed so you can store gear, cooking equipment, a porta potti, etc. or you can just get rid of the bed and redo the set up. Apparently, previous owner prioritized the comfort, along with insulation and noise dampening, thus the carpet, etc. but, yes, that would be a real pain to keep clean.

      Not for everyone but there is apparently those who covet this model…
