1989 Dodge Xplorer

Guys I dropped 5,500 on this beast. It has 55k miles, new tires, new AC in back and front. Everything but refrigerator works. Onan 2800 gen works. Did I pay too much?

    No I don't think you paid too much. In fact, it sounds like you got a great deal.

    Xplorers have a cult following, lots of people are looking for them.

    You'll find many videos on YouTube about people traveling and even living full time in Xplorers. Here's a video about why people like Xplorers.

  • If you have to replace fridge you might consider a 12 volt/110 compressor fridge. Much less hassle but if you camp without plugging into electricity a lot you will need a couple good deep cycle batteries and maybe a solar panel to help. Look at truckfridge.com or adventurerv.net for best pricing. Beautiful coach you have there.
  • It depends on what year. The older even with low mileage the more likely problems will pop up just from sitting. Altho it does look nice and clean.
  • Looks good, price was about right... if you decide to repair your reefer you may want to give this guy a call, very reasonable. I wish I had called him before I put a new one and had to have the cabinet trimmed to fit.
