East Coast SMB Wanted

My wife and I are finally ready for our first SMB. If anyone is thinking about selling or knows of someone let me know. I have been checking online everyday and thought we had one way out in Oregon but the seller back out at the last minute.

These are our wants:
2003 or later
Electric Penthouse
Some type of rear A/C for the kiddos
EB 50 or similar layout. (the kids have to face forward)
Would like to have an outdoor shower, inverter and furnace
I would love to have 4x4 but it is not required if the price is right
Budget is up to $60,000 but preferably under $50k.

Ideally it would be within a 24 hour dive from Georgia

Seems like these were plentiful before we decided to buy but now they are scarce. We will at the Overland Expo in Asheville, NC this weekend to see what we find.

This one is on the wrong coast, but it has some of the items on your list. Electric top, furnace, and a 50 layout. Even has an extra captains seat that can be removed (for the kiddos). Not sure on the rear AC though.

Ad says it only has 10,000 miles but no mention of what motor. Looks very clean. Even has the rear underground storage and what looks to be an aluminess rear tire carrier.

Re: East Coast SMB Wanted

Wife speaking now sorry to confuse you

Yes that is right. This one could be perfect. Does not have A/C, which might be issue here in south, but we can see.
Now I know it does not look as cool as my husband wishes for.
I love the extra chair, our kids would have more room.

Thank you

Re: East Coast SMB Wanted

I did not realize you were wanting an EB though. That one that I linked is an RB. As far as cool factor, all you need to do is take those hideous running boards off and drop it off at a 4x4 outfitting company of your choice. You'll be under your budget even after 4x4, new wheels, tires, and a full tank of gas.

Re: East Coast SMB Wanted

EB or RB will do. It will be a daily driver so I would rather have an RB but it is not a deal killer.

Re: East Coast SMB Wanted

So we are disappointed
We thought we are getting the one in Monteray, but seems like that there is someone local scooping this one out. This is second deal that did not go through.

Any other ones you can point us at?

Again on the west coast, bit has quite a bit of the things you're looking for. You could most likely add the third captains chair on this one too if you needed.

Re: East Coast SMB Wanted

We will call in this one tomorrow and see. I thought it was posted for 63k somewhere before.
