Cool find. Since the truck is diesel, they installed a propane powered generator...cool!

Skater,

didn't catch that, but makes sense.
not sure what it's worth, but think 24K is pretty high.

[Blair]

anyone have an idea on what they think this vehicle might be worth?
maybe i will make an offer if it doesn't sell.
looks like it is at around 16k right now.

I've pretty much given up trying to guess prices on these!

The 4WD conversion and diesel engine are not cheap things, and the diesel engine at least means it should run practically forever. Downside - diesel fuel is more expensive now (our F-250 is diesel...I love the truck but it's normal to spend $125 to fill it). The coach appeared to be in excellent condition. I'm not saying I agree with the $24K price, but I see where it's coming from at least.

yep, it is tough to price unique vehicles like these.
i currently own a pop top diesel 4WD Sportsmobile, and love that engine.
i just change the oils and filters, and that's it.
it is the most low maintenance engine i have ever had.
it will be interesting to see what it sells for.

i guess it was worth $20,100 to someone.

I've seen this rig before as Ojai is about 40 minutes from our home and we frequent the town. It seemed well kept.

I think that the final price is not surprising - I would have been in the runnings for this one but I was a day late to logging in. A custom 4x4 conversion is several thousands and a diesel is very rare.
