my 06 had 80K ( all records) genny is fine- 52 hours- and all maple cabinetry.
one thing I looked up when shopping was the insurance replacement value...which i showed to the seller..it was about 22K.
my seller had started off at 40K..was at 36K when I called him after watching his ad for a month ( his ad had a typo in the title which kept it from showing up in a search) I was the only call he'd gotten...he was paying for storage (HOA) and just wanted to sell asap
we drove away at 30K cash in hand
AZ has no sales tax on private party sales, so 9% saved right there ( vs a dealer)
your van looks good, it has the outside shower you want- the can looks same layout as mine
He makes a good point about the dash ac, it will keep the whole van cool in the summer while driving.
2 way fridge? I'd a thought a 3 way ( if you call ask them)
the old tv's are easily replaced- I bought a samsung at costco for $120 and mounted it up pretty easy- was able to strip out a 1/2 box of cable for the HDTV convertor box etc.
the one I chose is native 12 vdc
the samsung will also play media from a usb drive...100 movies in the palm of your hand.
