I disagree.  For that price, it should be nearly perfect.  Certainly, the A.C. should work, the tent should be good, the refrigerator should be working.  If I am going to pay $20k, I want a ready to camp Campmobile, fully trustworthy.  Otherwise, I can find one for considerably less and get it to where I want it to be. But, a used vehicle is worth what a willing buyer will pay.  I doubt this one will get a willing buyer at that price, too many unknowns.  But, I've been wrong one time in my life (ha ha).   mcneely
