No longer need this with the new trailer we've got.

1979 Tioga Class C (van front end) 24 foot Motorhome
Purchased new in '79 by my parents, so one owner.
Was special ordered in rare (at the time) bunkhouse model. Has queen bed over cab, dinette folds down into a full (I think), and then two bunk beds at the rear.

Has 58K original miles on it. Mechanically in great shape.

Chevy G30 chassis. Small block 400CI engine, turbo 400 trans, 4.11 gears. Recent brakes, carb. overhaul, tune parts, filters, etc.

Has 6 new tires, less than two years old, probably only 1K miles on them.

Fridge, furnace, shower, toilet, etc. all work great. Fridge and furnace were recently serviced.

Has a couple of cosmetic issues. Left side lower body moulding in the rear is banged up, tried driving up onto a board to level it and it spit the board up into the coach. Has typical 70's orange/brown colored interior. Needs one new roof vent cap and new coach electric water pump (the one for sink, shower, etc), will replace before sold. Has slight water leak at rear vent over bathroom. The motorhome is always stored under cover, so the only time it got wet was a couple of camping trips that we got rained on. I don't think there's any real damage. It will get 11-12mpg at 60-65mph not towing. I would get around 8mpg at 75mph towing trailer with four quads on it. The hitch capacity is 3500#. I flat towed my stockish wrangler with no issues. I flat towed my XJ over Chinook pass once. it did it, but it was slow going. Honestly it's a little on the small side if you're looking for something to tow a Jeep with.

I will get pics posted up in the next day or two.

Asking $3,000 OBO.
