Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / October 2005Class B MH for sale
We've reluctantly decided to consider selling our class B MH. This is a home-built rig, based on what was then a new '99 GMC Savana extended 3500 ("1-ton") van, sporting a pop-up top from Sortsmobile. It now has 85k miles, runs perfectly and averages about 15 mpg. Located at Tunkhannock PA and offered at $20k firm. I don't do web pages, but for all the honest details including some pix, write me at will@epix.net with a vali email address.

Penn I am confused. Have you "decided" to sell it, or are you "considering" selling it? Anyway, seems like a high price for a 99 Homemade camper. Was all the work done by professionals or did you do the work? Hank <~~~~easily confused I see where ninebal310@aol.com contributed: >I am confused.

We're considering it. If all we get is anklebiters who think it is too expensive, we'll keep it. As to your other question, you could find out by requesting the offered information - if you cared enough to bother.

Hi, Hank... didn't know you were an RV'er... or were you just looking for cheap transportation and a place to sleep when you go to pool tournaments? (grin).

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > David "The Hamster" Malone > www.hamstertales.com Hi Dave, Small world huh? I have been camping and traveling alot this year. It is coming to a halt due to the weather tho. I have a small Class B/C or whatever they call it. It is big enough for my wife and I. I haven't used it to go to pool tournaments much. Maybe I'll use it more later. What do you have? coming to the States soon? Hell, we could meet halfway and play pool too! I still haven't got Ratchet to claim the book you wrote. I don't know what he is doing other than arguing with FL. Let's go camping. Fla. sound good? Hank <~~~tries it all > What do you have? We have a Jayco pop-up... we're currently looking for a lightweight trailer so we don't have to spend hours putting the thing up and down. We've been offered a good deal on a 2006 Jay Feather EXP but my wife is stalling for some reason. >coming to the States soon? Hell, we could meet >halfway and play pool too! I'll probably get to travel up there more after I retire in a few years - I'd like it if Jimbo would set something up again but I don't have much spare time to travel. Just weekends here and there. > I still haven't got Ratchet to claim the book you wrote. I don't >know what he is doing other than arguing with FL. He may be worse than FL himself - everytime it looks like things have quietened down, he seems to trigger another spate. >Let's go camping. Fla. sound good? Yeah... I called Wilma and we have a reservation for Monday... lol.

There are two sources of power. Women control all of one, and half of the other. Don't buy that trailer. It ain't worth the grief.

Of course hes nuts anyway. Will did the work on the camper. So the answer to your 2nd question is no, not even close. > We've reluctantly decided to consider selling our class B MH.

You might as well plan on keeping it. At $20k, I doubt that you will get any tire kickers. Kelly Blue book shows that your Savana is only worth $8k or less and I can't image that your improvements would be worth another $12k. >>We've reluctantly decided to consider selling our class B MH. This >>is a home-built rig, based on what was then a new '99 GMC Savana [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > or less and I can't image that your improvements would be worth another > $12k. You're wrong. Price a '99 Class B for a comparison. Most in that year range will be much above $20,000 and will have a lot more miles. Will's unit is a well designed home built, without all the frills you see on professional conversions. He has had a popup roof installed, has put in a terlet (with holding tank), has an electric dump valve, a big battery bank complete with a healthy inverter, a 120v fridge, a microwave and hot plate (IIRC) for cooking. It would make a nice rig for someone who is less interested in tooling around in a fancy shell and wishing to blend in more when sleeping in parking lots.

Price a '99 Class B for a comparison. No HD you're wrong. Wills is not even close to a true class B. It doesn't even have a stove or city water hook up or air or heat. Its a Jack leg jerry rigged mess that is not worth $20K. > Most in > that year range will be much above $20,000 and will have a > lot more miles.

So it'd be great for a tightwad only thing is a tightwad ain't gonna pay no 20K for it. > Hugh >>>We've reluctantly decided to consider selling our class B MH. >>>This [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > parking lots. > Hugh Hugh, this is just another one of these people that knocks everything that is offered for sale whether they know anything about it or not. Lets hope he gets the same treatment when he attempts to sell something in the future. Tom J >>>We've reluctantly decided to consider selling our class B MH. This >>>is a home-built rig, based on what was then a new '99 GMC Savana [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > when sleeping in parking lots. > Hugh Your comparing apples and oranges, it's not a Class B. It's a van that was converted to work like one. A 120v fridge, microwave and hot plate, what's that worth used $100 - $200. I see where "nb" <nospam@nospam.com> contributed concerning a surprising endorsement from one of my chronic critics, "HD in NY", who wrote: >> You're wrong. Price a '99 Class B for a comparison.

Will's [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> interested in tooling around in a fancy shell and wishing to blend in more >> when sleeping in parking lots. Thanx kindly, but a minor correction - no "hotplate". See Carl's web site for a full description. . . http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chainfl/van/ Whines the anonymous "nb" (no brains?): >Your comparing apples and oranges, it's not a Class B. It's a van that was >converted to work like one. A 120v fridge, microwave and hot plate, what's >that worth used $100 - $200. If your definition of a motorhome only allows for "factory" units, this one doesn't fit. But if you understand what features a class B motorhome provides, you wouldn't parade your ignorance. But let's be clear: I couldn't care less whether "nb" or his nit-picking ilk thinks this offering is a bargain or a ripoff. We'll part with it if someone pays the asking price, and keep it if nobody is interested. That's the suble difference between considering a sale and trying to sell. Twice before I have sold motorhomes to readers who found my descriptions to be honest and my price acceptable. If I were desperate or even anxious to sell, I'd go to ebay and let people bid against each other. I'm not, and I'm simply not willing to haggle. BTW I didn't do much research, but the first comparable unit I priced had a generator but no pop-up top - a '97 Dodge for $27,500.

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn a stove, Do class B's have a stove? And Air conditioning! Its even got an awning! Wow the things they put on these class Bs I see where "nb" <nospam@nospam.com> contributed: >Here's what a real Class B should look like: >http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/classc/10121.HTM Compare with http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/h/chainfl/van/ Either one could be a good deal for someone. Their price was - $21,995 Now Only - $20,950. Of course, it is a year older than mine, does not have the pop-up top, no inverter, is shorter than mine, and on an (ugh!) Dodge chassis (g).

Did it also have Air, heat, LP Gas, a stove, city water hookup, gas fridge, and decent cabinetry? Subtract those and the generator out and yours is well a van with a bed and a tiny crapper. > Will Sill > "Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by > tyrants." Wm.

Besides, I was going by memory derived from emails of what, five years ago? I was impressed with your approach to the class B vehicle, which it is. The best thing about it is the Stealth look. It can pass for a commercial van in a parking lot and I mean that in a good way. I don't know why you call my words surprising, I've defended you a lot when I thought you were being criticized wrongly. Since you choose to filter me you have no idea. Maybe that's why I'm quick, at times, to call you an a.shole.

I take it you are among the thousands who are not interested. This may come as a surprise to you, but I fully expect the overwhelming majority of readers to be completely uninterested. I expect even most shoppers to conclude they don't want it at all, or don't want to pay my price. Imagine the chaos if hundreds wanted it!
