X2.

I've driven 4x4 Class C's for 25 years so far, and that one looks more capable than either of mine.

Since the owner is a friend, you might consider asking him how much he wants for it and then paying that. There is no way to set an absolute value on such a custom vehicle.

Here are two pix of the rig he is talking about.

I have a 4x4 C and quite honestly, I don't know that I could ever be without one now. Mine is lifted 6" and that really is the thing. If the one you are looking at isn't lifted? You want that. I am familiar indeed with your part of Nevada..in fact. most of the South West and having the 4x4 takes a lot of the concern about going some places...out of the equation. It is NOT a four wheelin machine tho...it flexes and bends because it is a Class C RV. You'll bust it or flop it over if you try the Jeep thing.

Get underneath and look to see if it has plate under there. When a person goes thru some of those washes, for instance? The angle of approach and /or departure will have the back end dragging. You wanna have protection. If it's not plated..and you buy? Get that done.



As for value? That is just way to hard to say. It's a 79, but if it has been desert kept, then you won't have rot issues. Maybe. You need to get a good look under the inside ceiling...looking for stains.

Ohh..I see the pix on Epd Portal. Pretty cool desert or beach rig. That light bar? Man..that is a leak looking to happen. But..I see you have said you are buying...good luck.

Tell you what tho? Don't just copy stuff from one website to another? It makes us/me feel cheap and unappreciated. Spend the moment to actually type your posting.

sounds interesting, and unique.

for pics

RV.net post pics tool

drag and drop there, then copy and paste to here.

Welcome to the forum. If this is the type of RV that suits your needs, go for it. You seem to be comfortable with the quality of the build.
Just do your inspections like any RV.

As for price, I don't know. You will have to decide how much it's worth to you. What is the seller asking?

And, would a truck camper be any better or cost effective for your needs?
