Really hate to do this, but we really don't need 2 RVs.
Really rare side entry Chinook with permanent bed floor plan. Low Miles, around 40,000.
We just took it on one last trip and it performed flawlessly over the 450 mile journey.
If you are looking for an easy to drive RV, this is it! If you are looking for an RV that is the sports car of RVs, this is it! Made of a one piece Fiberglass shell, it should last a Long Long time.
As the driver of the vehicle I can attest to the handling, speed, braking, horsepower, and comfort of it. You can cruise at pretty much any speed you would want to drive. It easily handles 90+ mph, in fact it is fun to pass sports cars in a motorhome effortlessly. Averages 10-13 mpg with a full load of water, gas, supplies.
Some of the features:
Ford 6.8 Liter V-10 Triton Engine
4 Speed automatic w/ overdrive
Power windows
Power locks
130amp Alternator
Cold in dash A/C

6 CU FT Dometic 2 door refrigerator/freezer, 3-way runs on A/C, D/C, or LP.
I believe an 80 watt solar panel on top to keep your batteries charged.
2 burner stove
Microwave
Kitchen sink
Shower/toilet combo unit with medicine cabinet. REALLY hot showers
LP 6 gallon water heater (heats quick and is HOT)
32 gallon fresh water tank

30 amp plug with 23 foot cable. Has adapter to plug into a normal 110 outlet as well.

Privacy curtain that snaps onto the front cab of the unit
13 inch tv
VCR(easily swapped) and stereo
12 gallon LPG tank

Equipped with Vehicle Boost Start, in case your engine batteries are dead, it allows you to start the engine with the coach batteries.
Tow hitch, can tow 8000lbs
Tires have 90+% tread remaining.
2 Fantastic roof fans, one in main cabin and another is the restroom/shower.
Small enough unit for stealth camping, see Glenn's Blog to see how he gets away with free parking 99% of the time.
Side Entry in a rig this size gives it many advantages over a rear entry model. For one, you can have a trailer or car towed along behind you and not have to unhook it in order to go outside. Or if you opt for a cargo hitch to carry stuff it will not interfere with your use of the main doorway. Also folks with pets report problems with the rear entry models as you end up opening right into the street, whereas the side entry, you end up away from traffic. Plus for full timers having a permanent bed is a boon to having to constantly put your bed up every day and back down again at night. Plus there is a big storage area under the bed, easily accessible from the outside.
All the electronics work perfectly, mechanically in superb condition. Has some minor wear on the exterior, but for a 14 year old rig it handles better than any of my other vehicles. Chinook put out a Super high quality vehicle.
Located at Plano TX.

Hey now, what's this 99% crap?
ReplyDeleteHahaa, I think you might be right... considering that you have been on the road 3 years, right? I bet it was 99% at some point, we just haven't been updated. :D
DeleteI think camping at Q's for a long time screwed up your record
DeleteWell that was that parking ticket that one time way back....
DeleteYou did pay at least one night to get your North Dakota(or south dakota) residency..and I recall one time you paid at a campground one or two days while you were doing some battery/electric upgrades. So you will never be 100%, but you are really close ;)
DeleteGuess I did say free parking and not stealth camping. Guess I need to update that to 99.76 or so.
ReplyDeleteOh, and talking about parking, that is the nice thing about this RV, you can park it on a drive way or regular parking spot. :D
ReplyDeleteLooks great. If I had 10k more I'd come get it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet ride! If I had six fewer cats and Maria's extra 10K, I'd come get it today.
ReplyDeleteHey, hope you don't mind - I put this link on the Ducks' FB page. https://www.facebook.com/TheGoodLuckDuck
ReplyDeleteDon't mind at all, thanks!
DeleteThank you tons!!! If it was only two of us we might make it in this rig, but the three dogs and a cat won't make it a day in there with us without someone going crazy. Most likely we all would :D
DeleteGotcha. It's our six cats that keep us from heading toward your Chinook ourselves.
