2010 Four Winds 19G 4x4 - Cruise America

Pretty cool little motorhome with a 4x4 conversion. Ad doesn't mention who did the conversion but the dual shock steering stabilizer looks a lot like the Javier conversion.

High miles and a pretty hefty price, but still cool.

I like these kinda rigs. The steps and front bumper also have that Javier vibe going on. I think you're right. Dunno if his quality has improved at all, have read much about any of them lately.

Pretty sure it is a javier. I have seen a few come up and they are always in SD county, have mega miles on them and a very brief description with no details on the 4x4 conversion. The guy must sell a lot of them because he almost continuously has one listed.

I think U-Joint recently mentioned having a customer with a Javier and he said it wasn't the worst work he had seen. At least there was oil in the diffs that time.

If he can get that price, that might be a good business to get into. Buy a used Cruise America like that for $3,500, spend $16,500 on 4x4 and upgrades, and sell it for $50,000.

Those cruise america's are not cheap! Last time I looked, they were $25k with 150k miles on them. Still, if hes paying $15k for the conversion, he can make $10k per van. Not a lot of work to just list them and show them.
