A classic rig for sale. This is a 32’ 1983 Travco built by Foretravel on a Dodge chassis. It has a completely solid fiberglass body so there are no seams and no worries about leaks. She has a rebuilt powerful high performance Dodge 440 with newer adjustable fuel injection system [nice for high altitudes].
This motor home has a pretty cool history. The first owner was a mechanic for Travco/Foretravel and drove around the country doing service and maintenance demonstrations using this motorhome. That is why there are a decent amount of highway miles on the chassis. Also, two out of the three owners were named “Vern,” that doesn’t happen often. The previous owners cared for her meticulously, and it shows. We bought this last October and unfortunately a move out of Alaska forces this sale. [I lost the vote to keep her].
The furnace worked great through a cold Alaska winter, except for once, when there was carbon/soot on the electronic pilot. We gave it a maintenance service and it worked great for the rest of the winter. The previous owners only took a few summer trips so the furnace was hardly used until we got it, thus the soot build-up.
We only took this on a few trips and it drives great with a lot of power, and good steering with easy handling. She is “overbuilt” with extra anti-sway bars, extra large propane and water tanks. It has generators, ac, and I hooked up an “extend-a-stay” so I could use an external propane tank [included], this way I could take the propane tank in to get filled, rather than having to drive the rv into town…especially nice during bad weather, poor road conditions or while boondocking. We got it when the temps were already below freezing, so we did not use the water/septic system in order to ensure there would be no freezing, cracks, or leaks. Other highlights:
• Full awnings all around - in great shape
• Hydraulic Auto levelers, with controls at pilot seat.
• REAL solid-wood cabinets, all in beautiful shape.
• Front couch/bed combo, captains chairs, rear queen.
• Skirting
• Sure Power electrical system and Onan generator.
• External propane tank hookup
• Cool original upholstery, screens, curtains & window shades
• Interior is in awesome shape. VERY clean.
• Full on-dash tank level indicators; flip a switch for H2o heater & generator.
• External spotlight, PA system.
• Kharmically sound.
• Full bathroom, [toilet, shower/bath, vanity].
• Central vacuum system.
• Lots of storage: double closets, a ton of overhead & low cabinets.
• Storage in kitchen, Living room, and bedroom area.
• An extra roof-top container, basement storage.
• Some not so obvious storage places.
• A lifetime of maintenance records and service/schematic manuals.
• Built-in blender and icemaker [that cranks it out].
• Full kitchen: range, oven, convection; fridge & freezer run on AC or propane
• Roof-top ac and ventilation units, forced air furnace
• Rubber and brakes in very good shape
• Front and rear speakers, new cd player, classic 8-track, CB’s,
• Lots of spare parts, belts, hoses, brakes, books, etc.
There is a huge following for these motor homes, and she definitely has style and personality. It is located in Alaska, and is ready for the Alcan Highway [or BRC] if you are not from here. Take the ferry up and drive her down. We have put money, maintenance and improvements into it, but few miles and the interior is cleaner than when we bought it. This girl is ready for the road. Price = $9500.
Here is a pic link link and I can email more pics if you are seriously into it. Thanks for checking it out!
