Hi David,
I changed the subject to match your question and separate from Jon’s thread.
Are you actually selling your camper or just looking for the value right now?
Best of luck. I always liked the sound of your camper. It sounds like you kept it mostly or all stock, and well cared for, but also used it and enjoyed it. Sounds like a great way to enjoy the van.
Best,
Eric Caron
