This was a very popular listing on Craigslist.. got a lot of responses.. not offers.. just folks saying that they really enjoyed the listing? Anyways.. I hated to see her go.. but, I really would like to get a wife someday and women seem to like a home with a bedroom that ain't part of the living room. So.. you know.. it ain't good for a man to be alone and all that.. .. oh.. yea.. stay tuned readers.. I got me another one now with a real bedroom, too!

1978 25' ITASCA CLASS A RV MOTORHOME - $700
MOTIVATED SELLER
UPDATE:
SOMEBODY COME GET THIS THING ALREADY - VERY MOTIVATED SELLER!
This camper needs a new owner. The current one is worn out and needs one less project to work on.
92,096 miles on a Chevy 454 engine and 400 turbo/hydromatic transmission. It starts, runs good, and stops.
4 excellent tires, 2 fair tires and a spare.
Everything in this motorhome needs a little fixing except for the stove/oven.
Update:
The bathroom door fell off.
From the top down.
The roof has leaked and may or may not leak depending on the day of the week - yes, I've sealed it every single year for the last century but either I ain't too good at it or the stuff they sell to seal roofs is garbage because it seems I have to seal it every year to keep it waterproofed.
The roof A/C does not work. The engine A/C never worked as long as I've owned it since '95 - actually, I don't even think the A/C stuff is even on the engine anymore.
Only 1 of the roof vents works - another is sealed shut - another is missing (where the wood burner smokestack used to exit)
Some of the exterior lights work. Some don't. Nothing wrong with the fixtures, just the bulbs burnt out.
The interior paneling is worn out and/or damaged in spots like the ceiling above front pull down bed.
Most of the screens are damaged/worn out. All of the windows work with a little effort.
The original interior has seen extraordinary wear of every imaginable type and is certainly not one of her selling points.
The refrigerator does not work.
The furnace is disconnected.
The water pump leaks.
The water tank leaks.
The hot water tank is gone.
The propane tank is there but bypassed to hook the LP feed directly to bbq sized tanks which are easier to refill.
The kitchen and bathroom sinks, the shower/tub, and toilet all work but both the gray and black water tank valves leak.
The generator needs the carburetor rebuilt and re-installed - it's got low hours cause it hasn't been fired up since 96.
The dashboard is in sad shape and the instrument cluster needs to be reattached which I may or may not have a little time to get to before you come to see it (I had to get the kittens out from behind it last year).
The driver and passenger seats are in horrible shape.
The driver's left side armrest fell to the floor last month - it's not really needed. I don't know why they put one there like that. I can reattach it if I get a minute.
The carpet is just terrible.
The passenger side windshield has a crack that has been there for longer than I have owned her. Cops never hassled me about it.
The entrance step is broke and held up with a rope on the one side.
The awning blew away four years ago in a blizzard, the retractor spring sprung out last year when I was trying to hang a tarp on it, and the whole thing is just messed up now although it is still attached to the side of the motorhome.
The aluminum siding is pitted and patched and was painted years ago, but, the paint is now peeling in spots.
The bumpers are rusting in spots.
The dual exhaust system is exhausted and the tailpipes both folded up a couple weeks ago backing it out of the mud it was stuck in.
One of the fuel tanks leaks at the line or on top someplace?
The starter motor needs shims because it makes a grinding noise when starting? I may or may not crawl up under there to shim out that starter so people don't get that funny look on their face when they turn her over.
The battery for the engine starter goes flat unless the negative cable is removed whenever it has to sit for a long time.
The hitch works fine and it has easily towed my 3500 pound house boat.
The john boat on the roof may or may not go with the motor home. Not sure, yet. Either way, it is covering the vent opening that the wood burner used to exit through. The wood burner may or may not come with the motorhome. It's not good for going down the road with, but, if you're holed up somewhere in the winter with a good supply of firewood that little steel stove sure comes in handy.
There are a few other things not right with her, but, I don't want to list every little jot and tittle and end up discouraging somebody from giving her a new home.
I've owned this rv for a long time. I've lived in it for several years. I hate to see her go. But, you know. That's life.
Somebody please make me an offer. We both might be surprised by my response!
AND LO AND BEHOLD!
AWAY SHE WENT
