EDIT: Initially I mistakenly listed this as a shell; it is fully built out and ready to go, so I’ve updated the title. I also reduced the price on the listing.
Hey all,
My wife and I bought this camper new when our son was born and it worked absolutely perfectly for a few years until we hit a major snag: our daughter was born. Now we need something with a little more room. This camper was used lightly over the first few years we owned up, but not at all in the past almost 2 years (the time that it’s taken me to admit that this camper isn’t a good fit for our family anymore). It has been stored on a platform in my garage for every day that it wasn’t in use, so the camper is in really excellent condition. There is cosmetic damage to the thermal package and to a small piece of black plastic trim. There are no leaks or any other issues with the camper. It is the side dinette configuration.
In addition to the optional features, I installed 3 - 120W solar panels on the roof, overkill, but I was picturing spending time in some campgrounds with tree cover and I wanted to still be charging at a meaningful level even in patchy sun. I also replaced the deep cycle battery that came with the camper with a 100Ah Battleborn lithium cell battery (https://battlebornba...-cycle-battery/). This is a great battery that provides a lot of charge in a package that is much smaller and much lighter than what would be required if you wanted similar capacity from the multiple deep cycle lead acid batteries required to get the same storage capacity. Plus it lightens the baseline hauling load.
Last, I added a Victron Charge Controller with Bluetooth capability so you can either use the digital faceplate installed in the camper or the Victron app to keep track of your power situation. This is helpful for any troubleshooting but also allows you to track the power usage, rate of charging, etc. over time from your phone. In general, power usage depends on how much you’re running the heat and fridge etc. but I would typically get 2-3 days of power from the battery if there was no incoming charge. With the solar cells the battery would fully charge quickly each morning, assuming good sun exposure. Exactly what I wanted: fast charge with a day or two of surplus stored power.
I also addded a 2-inch memory foam topper to the king size bed; it’s more comfortable than my bed at home. Two sets of leveling blocks also included, as well as turnbuckles for attaching to truck bed.
Asking $23,000 obo

To get beyond the post limit I made a google photos album with more and higher quality pictures: https://photos.app.g...ZEBi2oUEPMwTwa7
If you’d like more info or want photos of specific areas please reach out and I’d be happy to add to the album.
