I just bought a Chevy g20 1986 model I bought off of Craigslist it has the same exact floor plan.the guy wanted 3500 and I gave him 2400 cash for it drove her from corpus to Houston and it drove perfect if any one finds one of these grab it these little campers are real jewels.
I would have bought it for that price. That guy used lexan that is bullet proof.They use it in racing windshields. Glad you sold it. I think I will start saving for one of those. They are out there and available. I am thinking I would expect to have to get the engine rebuilt if I buy one. I want one with good body good interior with all working appliances. Yours was nice.My wife and I love to travel,she retires in 5 years so thats when I plan on getting one,unless I can get one cheap enough.Had a 78 Ford Conversion van years ago with the 350 Windsor Engine in it. It was very strong and could haul anything.
*Waaaaaaaay too late, as always, but I had the $$$$ then, and would have paid the difference to leave all the 'good stuff' installed instead of me replacing it* *I WANT ONE!* (although most of the time it would just sit in the driveway) *The Ford '460' is 'bullet-proof' and the 'cast -iron C-6' transmission will both 'last a lifetime' if not abused* (*I had a chance in Las Vegas in 2000 to buy a 'Class A' that I think was 24 or 26ft. and it was PERFECT and still had the factory-plastic over the carpeting!* ) *It was priced at SEVEN-THOUSAND CASH and I just didn't have it!* (forget what year it was , but it couldn't have more than a couple of years old) *LET'S HEAR ANYBODY BEAT THAT!* (The weird thing was it sat next to boat-shop...and it was there the whole winter! And it 'fired-up' instantly and even had that 'factory new' smell in it...it was driven and then never used, not even once!) *The things you see when you 'ain't got the cash' you never get-over losing out on*
I have an 87 model. I think that is a fair price. With my purchase price, new transmission, over 2 grand in engine and front end parts plus labor I'm knocking on the door or even over that figure. Either you can get one up or find one like this already to go. Good luck on the sale. I would consider getting a dodge myself... I had a 98 2500 dodge van. I loved everything about it but getting in and out and my sightline. Im so tall that when I put the seat back to allow for my Iong legs I was looking at the wall and not the window. I had to lean forward to look out. I really do like the interior layout on the Dodge's thats for sure. I guess its all a give and take.
Yeah I feel the same. I am giving up a few thing I love about the coachman for a few things I love about the Pleasure Way. Its a toss up... but I made my desicion based on the Dodge having a large bed and enclosed bathroom and just being a bit newer. Thanks for watching Kevin!
I am from India and love this sort of stuff.. So wish to hire one (or better buy!) and get lost someplace. Lived in EU but motorhomes have many restrictions which spoil the fun of having it.
Sorry that I missed this. I most likely would have purchased it. I'm looking to purchase a similar van, Falcon, Horizon, etc within the next few months. I'm going to be unemployed for a few months while I transition to a new position. Would someone be able to full time in a stock van like this or a comparable model, with no upgrades? I won't be able to make any mods until I am secure in my new position. Just trying to see if the timing of the purchase makes sense for my situation. Thanks!
+EDO SUSHI I'm selling an 1987 version thats near identical to Ramblin CamperVan's. I'm in WNY (Buffalo), please contact me if you're interested and or near the area. Thanks - Ray
Love it..I have the same one but the 1988 dodge falcon 190 d350 same set up..I think I hit the jackpot I got mine for 600$..I think the owners inherited it thought Noone had any interest in such a old outdated vehicle. .oboy were they wrong I love mine..an that's the going rate on these 7500$ to 15,000$ I'm n texas an see them all the time for that much..I would love to buy yours too..thanks
Nomadic Assyrian Elvis van dweller, I am subbed to you, an mine is just like Ramblin campervan just about the same everything but she's a dodge woman I bought her from thought it was just a van my van had 54,000 original miles on her an she set in a garage for 10 years Noone touched her..I couldn't get the 600$ handed over quick enough.I really got very very lucky...I was thinking of starting my own channel..I just enjoy having such a awesome van..
mud flap... Me too... I have my eye on an old one... good motor... looks like crap... but I have remodeled a few before RVs... so I think $700. is good... How much money did you have to put into yours to upgrade it? OHHHH and I do need knew tires... Have you had to buy new tires.. I'm a little scared of how much that will cost... Please let me know if you think it is worth getting an older van and putting money into it... Thank you for your help.
Thats a great price for your campervan I have look at some for $4000 that were so ragged out it would have cost me another $4000 to get it back in shape for the road
They might be ASKING 15 thousand but they won't sell it for that. You MIGHT get seven for yours but 15 is not even close. I will admit yours is a very clean/nice looking van. Oh, just noticed you dropped the price to 5950. That is more realistic. Now you are in the ball park. Above average looking rig. I'm not in the market now but if I were yours would certainly be in the mix.
I bought an 88 Ford Club Wagon 350 and it has 23,000. Miles only. Lol. I paid very little for it, is a low top so...but its nice to see a van running around thats like mine.:) #vanlife
I see how you wired that brand new fan up above bed, but hiding the wires under the ceiling carpet, kind of sticks out a little though, but over all great job!!
David DeRoche Yeah I hear ya. Nothing I could do though as the wiring had to come from the light fixture. The original vent had no fan as it was just a vent hole so no wiring to begin with. And I was installing it quickly cause I was hitting the road for a trip the next morning. Otherwise I would have taken my time with it. Thanks for watching!
Great video man, and choices in RVs . I like both. Just had a question about your solar set up: did you get the entire kit at once: panel(s) battery and inverter? I'm wondering how much power output did you choose to go with, if you're living in it all the time, boon docking. I'm sure it also depends on where you're living and if it's hot. Just curious. I just purchased a Ford Champion E250 and want to set up a solar package as I'll be boon docking on NYC. Either way looks like it was easy to take out once you upgraded. Happy travels!
Nora Steel HAHA I hear ya! Thanks! NM is not a great place to sell an older class b... There is just not much of a market for it. So I lowered the price a bunch to $5950.00 and that should do it! Thanks!
Hello, can you tell me how and where to load the gas for cooking, I'm Chilean, I just bought a ecoline ford 1990, and not cocozco, I thank you in advance, thank you very much, greetings
Gonzalo Lira Hoare hey, I'm Chilean too! I recently purchased a horizon 170 Dodge and loving it! Still learning about it and adding some upgrades. Did you get your question answered? Viva Chile! 🇨🇱
FloppyHatPhotos I don't sorry. They are hard to find. Try craigslist in your area and surrounding states if possible to widen your search. I have seen many when I look in surrounding states as well. Thanks
The Ramblin CamperVan The few I have found under $20K are nothing like they say they are when I get there. Just drove 4+ hours to get one yesterday to only get there to it not starting, window didn't roll down, cruise didn't work, water pump does not work, most lights didn't work, toilet didn't work, & tires where delaminating. Was told everything works great on phone then as I pointed out each thing he said well everything but that one thing.EACH TIME! Then when I made an offer at a price I felt safe to fix everything he said yes but didn't have a title after I asked to be sure he had it as I was bringing a trail & money to bring it home. So I get nervous about driving to far to look at them. I would be willing to drive or fly to a coast even if I had someone like you or who lives there look it over for me. Might just build out my 1 Ton Ford myself. Thanks Patrick
HAHAHA "everything but that one thing" That sucks man! When I travel far to look at something I tell them to send me a ton of extra pictures and make sure to get all truths out of them over the phone. I know some people won't care about truth or you driving far to see the vehicle ... Like this guy it sounds like. But I won't make the trip if it doesn't sound 100% likely for me to buy. But some people just don't care and will lie about everything thinking you will just buy it anyways haha. Keep looking, the one for you will come your way soon enough.
The Ramblin CamperVan This guy I think by everything he meant the frig would keep his beer cold Cause that was full of Bush Lite & he pointed that out overtime I pointed out what didn't work. I would choose to go without instead of getting the wrong thing. Thanks Patrick
This is what Nomatic Fanatic should have gotten instead of that botched up piece of crap he ended up with,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that's right,,,,he couldn't buy it, he gets his stuff free. Never mind.
Perfect for a 125 pound female and a 7 pound dog! Paint the woodwork white, put in some little flowered curtains and I would be in hog heaven!! Good luck, she will be gone before you know it, if it's not already!
If I could afford it, I''d snap it right up...still saving. It's kind of slow, being on Social Security. I'm sure lucky somebody is going to snatch it right up! =( One day my time will come.
is it not possible to remove antique videos ? RUclips keeps recommending useless crap or is it profitable . the few clicks like mine that didn't pay attn. to the fine print ? I have to laugh at peeps who spend $1000s for old vans............my 94 chevy was $350 , sold it for nuthin after 2 yrs. use , when i found a dodge for $600 it had the raised roof , stove , refer , etc. ,so was worth the extra bux not as buff as yours , but cosmetics don't matter out in the desert
Can't afford it, Wished I could I'd take it off Ur hands. Someone is going to Purchase for sure though, especially @ more than a fair asking Price,gonna go real quick..
Why do people say "We took a ROAD trip"? Do they think we might have thought they drove through the woods and fields and ALONG SIDE the highways? NOOOO FOLKS!!!! We automatically assume they drove on the road. It's like the signs that say "House for sale by OWNER." I mean.... did they not want us to think the neighbors down the street was selling someone else's house for some weekend spendin' money? Like the comedian Bill Engvall says.... "Heeeeeeeere's your sign." :-D
plane trip, overland trip, which is cross country. for sale by owner versus by realtor or a third party, which means you deal with a third party and have little to no contact with owner.
I just bought a Chevy g20 1986 model I bought off of Craigslist it has the same exact floor plan.the guy wanted 3500 and I gave him 2400 cash for it drove her from corpus to Houston and it drove perfect if any one finds one of these grab it these little campers are real jewels.
good LORD! I BOUGHT THIS SAME VAN IN OKLAHOMA FOR $3500!!!
I bought the same van in Ohio for 1500
very thorough walk through. if i didn't owe $20k on my Outback I would be down there tomorrow!
Haha sounds good! Will it be paid off by tomorrow??? Haha!
I would have bought it for that price. That guy used lexan that is bullet proof.They use it in racing windshields. Glad you sold it. I think I will start saving for one of those. They are out there and available. I am thinking I would expect to have to get the engine rebuilt if I buy one. I want one with good body good interior with all working appliances. Yours was nice.My wife and I love to travel,she retires in 5 years so thats when I plan on getting one,unless I can get one cheap enough.Had a 78 Ford Conversion van years ago with the 350 Windsor Engine in it. It was very strong and could haul anything.
It is a really nice specimen of an older van in very good shape!
Project Pete Yeah most of these vans are beat up pretty bad. I am glad I found this one. Thanks!
I have the 1989 E250 Coachman that looks just like this one. I love your channel, great ideas and good workmanship.
+Rick Meadows Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Sure wish i seen this before i bought my class A it's to big for me so i think I'ma resell it.
If I could afford it, I''d snap it right up...still saving. It's kind of slow, being on Social Security. I'm sure lucky somebody is going to snatch it right up! =( One day my time will come.
Nora Steel Thanks I hope so! Its just sitting here not getting any love HAHA! I lowered the price a ton so it should go soon! THANKS for watching!
Ahhh, lowered the price, eh? I'm surprised no one/s bought it~! How you doing with your new Pleasure Cruise?
I love the Pleasure Way so far! Its a blast! Still working on it, trying to get everything taken care of. THANKS!
Not easy to sell. It is so old it will attract the attenation of highway patrol.

Debrajoy Standfield HAHAH Thank you!
great van, just what I need, but too far away
6k sold . Now days it’s like 7-10k
What was the gas mileage for this van?
And here we are in 2021 and this would easily go for $25,000.
yeah why are they so expensive now?
@@evk3593 I’m guessing because of the social distancing restrictions last year. Everyone wants to travel and get out of town.
Is this still for sale?
SOLD SOLD SOLD. THANKS!
Thanks man. But I just couldnt hold it for you any longer. I needed my driveway back HAHA.
The Ramblin CamperVan How much did you sell it for?
I cut the price to $6000 and it sold same day. Thanks
ok ignore my last message thanks
Thats a good deal!
I like the engine position over Dodge
Asking price isn't getting!
What do you get for mpg?
Mary Ocean About 13 mpg if you drive normal. Thanks
not to bad
How do you get into the upper bunk?
You can step on couch to get up to bed. But they sell bunk ladders at camping world for like 40 bunks. THANKS
you right alot
is it not possible to remove antique videos ? RUclips keeps recommending useless crap or is it profitable . the few clicks like mine that didn't pay attn. to the fine print ? I have to laugh at peeps who spend $1000s for old vans............my 94 chevy was $350 , sold it for nuthin after 2 yrs. use , when i found a dodge for $600 it had the raised roof , stove , refer , etc. ,so was worth the extra bux not as buff as yours , but cosmetics don't matter out in the desert
It sold! Congrats! ='(
Nora Steel Thank you!
Can't afford it, Wished I could I'd take it off Ur hands. Someone is going to Purchase for sure though, especially @ more than a fair asking Price,gonna go real quick..
Yeah I think its a good price. But cash is a hard thing to come by nowadays for sure haha. I hear ya man! Thanks
That's a Good idea Elvis but I think he's trying to really help someone out at that Blessing of an asking Price..
Gotta Love that Coachmen Class B Camper Van with that Classic Heavy Duty Armor Look to it !!
Yup she's a tank! But a nice one! haha
Why do people say "We took a ROAD trip"? Do they think we might have thought they drove through the woods and fields and ALONG SIDE the highways? NOOOO FOLKS!!!! We automatically assume they drove on the road. It's like the signs that say "House for sale by OWNER." I mean.... did they not want us to think the neighbors down the street was selling someone else's house for some weekend spendin' money? Like the comedian Bill Engvall says.... "Heeeeeeeere's your sign." :-D
for sale by owner means private sale and no realtor involved.... no middle man.
plane trip, overland trip, which is cross country. for sale by owner versus by realtor or a third party, which means you deal with a third party and have little to no contact with owner.
Has the van sold?
Samantha McGhee. 87 trans van in driway 87 transvan in driveway call 954 24512 needs working reasonable
Must have been an incredible Christ cuz he lowered it down to 5950
INTERESTED BUT NOT READY
Where is this van?
New Mexico. I can meet in Albuquerque areas.
By the looks of the neighbourhood I would say next door to Heisenburg.
HAHA Heisenburg lives next door. He wants to know if you would like a free car wash?
Yeah sure, and throw a pizza on the roof while your at it.
Leave them in get a profit..... And redo
