$10,000

Small size makes it an easy driver. Reliable Ford 7.3L IDI Diesel with 161K miles on it with no leaks. 10-12 mpg pulling 12 foot enclosed trailer at 70 mph (i think the stock tank is ~50 gallons). Will pull faster than you ever want to go in an RV. Has brake controller, but I've never used it.
Jasper transmission put in by PO. I believe 20-30K miles ago.

Lots of maintenance done last year (in a last 5K miles). Have receipts.
New belt & Tensioner
New Power steering oil cooler and lines
New transmission lines
New Transmission Tail shaft seal
New front brakes
New Water pump
New upper and lower ball joints
New front wheel seals
New front end bushings
Front end alignment
replaced worn battery terminals
A/C Recharge
2 new batteries

Interior:
Not perfect, but all in good working order
Full bed in back (new memory foam mattress 2 years ago)
Queen bed above cab
Table converts to bed
3-way fridge (propane/ac/dc)
stove
Roof and dash A/C work well
Propane heat
6 gallon propane water heater
Propane 4kw generator
Fresh/Gray/and Black water tanks (has been winterized since last fall)

2 tank WVO kit was installed by me and works very well. Isolated fuel systems for D2 and WVO using a common pump.
35 gallon WVO tank under bed w/ hotfox
3 12v switches (Feed, Return, and loop) Feed and return are controlled on 3 way toggle for D2, WVO and purge. Loop is controlled on separate toggle. Allows for purging WVO filter with diesel so you don't have to purge the air out manually.
Converted from mechanical to electric pump.
Coolant heated filter housing.
FPHE
Vegtherm Max on separate toggle.
No copper in this system have used all aluminium or stainless fittings
Insulated Hose on Hose
Will supply additional info upon request. If you don't wan to run WVO RV will run very will on D2 and you could ignore the conversion.

My WVO source uses creamy soy oil and the RV burns the thick oil just as well as the liquid oil. Do see slightly reduced filter life with the thick oils, but this was vastly improved with the addition of the looped return.

I am really hoping to find one similar to this on the west coast soon. The only thing I would change is the corner bed. I tried laying on one of those and was majorly cramped at 6'1. I need to have a walk around queen in back to fit properly. Didn't know they made a non-turbo IDI in 95. Must have been an Econoline-only thing. Still a very rare beast and a very road-tripped one too! Nice rig man!

Exactly what you said. Just a bulge in the siding. The PO had the overcab rebuilt due to water leakage. He thinks that they either didn't glue that section or the glue in that section failed from the repair. It doesn't leak so I haven't messed with it.
