AC is only in the RV section. No driver cab AC, but I do have the components to install AC in the cab that are included with the sale.
I have owned this fun RV for 10 years, but, now age 70, time to pass it on. Pick it up in Las Vegas and drive it to Argentina, or wherever. I am a retired professional truck technician / welder and this truck has received the best regular maintenance. Purchased in Florida in 2006 with only 16,000 miles, I towed a 50 foot offshore race boat home to Las Vegas. It is not fast, but a steady 55-62 and 10-11mpg, all day no problem. Engine runs cool and does not burn oil.
BUY IT NOW REWARD - Buy It Now will include extra features including 2NEWhigh quality single mattresses for the sleeping platforms, 4NEW 315 80 R22.5 heavy truck tires (over $2000 my cost) for 100,000 future miles of driving, and acomplete tool chest of related truck tools (rarely used, but good to carry).
Please note: No sales tax when buying from a private party in the State of Nevada and, also, the license fees for an RV in this state are very low. I can assist witha Nevadaregistration.
The 4,000 watt gasoline Onan generator is in excellent working condition. Included are two extra steel 5 gallon cans in the adjacent compartment for additional gas or diesel capacity.The tire changing tools, fire extinguisher and come alongshown in the photo are included in the sale. On the right side rear there is also another diamond plate compartment for a loaded tool chest, compressed air hose, battery jumpers, etc. These items are included in the Buy It Now Price.
The paint job is showing age and has chips here and there. I never wanted to do a nice shiny paint job because I often drove narrow roads with brush touching the sides. Because this is mil spec heavy duty paint, it is almost impervious to scratching. Wash and polish once a year and it looks pretty good. The two rear windows have been replaced with Lexan. The double pane side windows have inside condensation, look cloudy. Diamond plate trim adds some bling. Whenever I go to a big park camping, like Yosemite (often), I always have lots of folks stopping to ask about it.
The 9 liter International diesel is bullet proof. NO DEF !! It has an rpm governor so when I get on the road I just put it to the metal and move on about 60-62 with never a speeding ticket, but I always get there not too far behind my friends with fast SUV's. AND I NEVER NEED TO STOP FOR FUEL FOR OVER 600 MILES! Overall length is about 25 feet - gets into most camping slots easily. AC housing on roof has strengthened enclosure to protect from tree branches. No plastic.
Tires are big truck 315 80R 22.5 - totally overkill for the (light) weight of this truck, but also super heavy duty long mileage. These 22.5 are 100,000 mile big truck tires. They are the most common big truck tire and I buy them used for about $150 at truck tire shops. The front tires are about 60% and the rears are about 30%. If I keep the truck I will use it all summer as is and replace the rear tires for next year.
Please view the photo of the left rear brake drum, and axle. This drum has no lip and has never been turned. The brake shoes are just as thick as new, never replaced. Two brake cylinders and the axle oil seal were replaced last month - new. 46K original mileage is trueand accurate. The tachometer does not work. It's not really needed because the engine has an automatic rev limiter.
