I thought the asking price was kinda high until I saw the interior pics and options list and low mileage.

So what are you upgrading to now? Not going to bug me for the Burro back, are you?

Don't want to hijack but I bought a '99 Burro 17' Widebody two weeks ago and haven't met any other owners. Any known issues with the Burro? TIA

^^^Burros are pretty solid. Just be sure to repack the bearings regularly, and watch the torsion springs if you go off-road much. Also, beware the Burro website; it's still active, but the company had been belly-up for a long time- do not order any parts from them.

[jamesp]

Holy shit that's cheep!!!
Only $6K?

no fridge or stove, POS grey import, of course its cheap. Those things have about as much power as an elastic band.

Yup, learned that from some pre-buy research. Have to agree it's a solid, laid-out rig, and Burros don't have that "rat-hair" carpet on every wall/ceiling surface like a Casita or Scamp.

Congrats! I've actually been shopping for a 16' Scamp for a few years but I tend to be a attracted to the newer $$$ ones with roof a/c so I could use it locally and at the racetrack in the summer. Not sure if I'll ever buy one but it's a nice pipe dream.

Thanks. This hasn't A/C installed and no genset, so I am looking at a portable A/C unit and portable generator, the latter in a vented lock box welded to the bumper.

Sounds like a good plan! A friend has a 16' Scamp with a window a/c that supposedly works really good. One of these days I'm going to call the factory to get pricing on new ones to figure out the whole cost equation thing. Seems like prices for ten year old models are only a couple thousand less than two year old models.

Damn, I gotta stop looking at this stuff. That thing is awesome.

Just ran across this thing. Looks like a sweet little 4x4 diesel rig

Great price too. Won't last long.

Question for anyone who wants to answer...

Got about $7000 budget, looking for a camper van - preferably all wheel drive. Any models/engines I should be looking for/staying away from in that price range? Decent gas mileage is important, so nothing too big.

[Flyoverland Captive]

That rat-hair serves a purpose. When it's below freezing, condensation forms on the inside walls while you sleep. So without the fur, it can be a rainy, drippy morning when it all starts to melt.

[maddog]

I'm sellin' my camper... Could be convinced to sell the truck too. Asking $6000 on craigslist, but I can make a deal for maggots. Posted on 'gear swap" too. Please let me know if you're interested.

Hey bud,

It's not a van, but it's 4x4. It's got the bulletproof 300 inline 6 motor with a stick shift, and the camper is a pop top. About as fuel-sippy as you can get for a full size rig.

If this is too spammy, or the wrong forum, I'll delete it...

I'm selling a 1988 26' Jamboree class c. It's in good condition; all new tires, new fan clutch, new stereo, new gas tank sensor, new furnace thermostat. 105 hours on the Onan generator (works perfectly). Everything works: gas/electric systems, stove, microwave, fridge, furnace, plumbing, all tanks. It did have some minor roof leaks before I got it a couple years ago, but nothing major. It's now completely sealed. Less than 70k on the original Ford 460.

I need to move this fast. I'm going to list on Craigslist at $6900; if a mag wants it, it's yours for $6000. I'm north of Spokane, but could drive a reasonable distance to deliver.

PM me with any questions.

yo mike! 190k miles! That's a bit tough to swallow, but you know better than me. Been looking at a 1987 Astro van/tiger conversion....Any thoughts there?

Parking lot season extended! Volcano parking lot in northern California:

Hey guys, figured this might be worth a post- I'm unfortunately selling my '81 Tioga Fleetwood. I believe it's a 24' with the 305, duallys in the back and everything works well on it. She's got a new rear battery and charging cords, the water system pumps still test fine and she has been sitting, winterized, for about 3 years. She still starts and runs great, and everything- even the gas fridge and the roof A/C still work fine. The family friend who owns an RV repair/service station said the last owner must have parked it facing Mecca because everything works great and that's pretty unheard of. The heater needs a new spark plug boot, but that it literally a $10 part.

It appears there was a water issue a while back, and after using the roof A/C I figured out why- the drain hose for the AC was disconnected and so it would just pool the water on the roof and dribble down the side. Easy fix. Also now that I'm thinking about it, the awning is ripped as well.

Anyways, I'm going to list it for $3k, but if there are any mags interested, I'd sell it for $2500. She's got 135k on the clock I believe? Anyways, the only pain in the ass thing to do would be the running light/brakes wiring. She could use a rewire for those, but again that's easy stuff and I have a guy who specializes in that sort of thing if need be.


Here's a pic of how she looks now.



About to do a mural on her though to sweeten the deal if I need to, she should look like this in a few weeks if there are no buyers.

[boltonoutlaw]

I didn't mention but I also bought a Bandit last week. I will only keep one or the other, the Burro or the Bandit. If you want either one hit me up. TGR discount.

Tell me about the bandit?

Meh, fridge and stove are easy and not all that expensive.
Underpowered for some means better gas milage to others, and it's 4x4 with low miles for the price.
The big negative for me is the RSD...

boltonoutlaw, you crack me up.
How many in the quiver these days?
