The guy is right, the TDi conversion and transmission modification is worth $15k easy (probably more). Not a bad deal...

Cheers,

I disagree. For that price, it should be nearly perfect. Certainly, the A.C. should work, the tent should be good, the refrigerator should be working. If I am going to pay $20k, I want a ready to camp Campmobile, fully trustworthy. Otherwise, I can find one for considerably less and get it to where I want it to be. But, a used vehicle is worth what a willing buyer will pay. I doubt this one will get a willing buyer at that price, too many unknowns. But, I've been wrong one time in my life (ha ha). mcneely
