Buying a class B

Hello everyone, I am buying a used Dodge Xplorer, relatively cheap but seems to be in good shape for it's age (1989). I went to check it out today, found no leaks, everything worked just needs a thorough cleaning.
Here is a picture ( I hope).

  • I think you will like a "B". For one reason: Your camping trip begins as soon as you hop in the driver's seat. No hitching/unhitching, no running around to the back to get in the TC, just drive where you feel like (and it is safe/legal), put it in park, check level for the fridge, and take a nap.
  • Looks like a great find. The cosmetics alone, condition of this finish on such a diificult color, says it has been well cared for and probably stored indoors.
  • We often use our B as a second vehicle especially when we have to haul something big, WHen we load the large cartons full of shoeboxes(giftboxes) for kids overseas I just flatten out the rear electric couch into bed position and shove all the cartons in. There is usually some extra room in just about any B van for moving items you cannot move in a car, even an SUV.

    We do the same. Great for bringing crown molding home from Loew's. Or the annual Christmas tree. Leaves you with that nice piney smell without having to hang a little cardboard thingy on your rear-view mirror.

    Bob J, enjoy that B!
