1991 Skamper (23' M2330T, Floorplan A) and 1983 Chevy K5 Blazer
Forum Discussion
Thanks for the compliments!
The truck I got from just South of Nashville ~6 months ago.
It's in great shape for the year. 350 ci small block Chevy and 700r4 transmission.
Everything works as it should. Lacks power for the heavy Skamper and gets pretty squirrelly above 55mph. Struggles to get above 45mph uphill.
The 1991 Skamper M2330T is a floorplan 'A'.
Previous owner only had it a year and only camped 2 times in it (due to health issues). She bought it from a family that had it 'in the family' since new or nearly new.
None of the local RV dealers haad anything remotely close to our meager budget. We looked at several (from local private sellers) and couldn't get past the musty, moldy, damp smells and issues.
We decided on this on after our second detailed look at it.
Interior is nearly immaculate for a 1991. New custom mattress (still in plastic), new cushion foam, newer water heater, 2 full 30# propane tanks, load leveling and swaybar hitch, new tires plus 2 new unmounted ones, newer awning.
I wasn't at all thrilled with the color, but DW loved it.
Decent size for us, our 3yo son and another couple and second child (possibly).
Here are some more (blurry/crappy cel phone) picts:
