After a few fun trips last summer and two successful rentals utilizing the RV rental platform, Outdoorsy.com our beloved SMB is now OFFICIALLY for sale. More specifically it is now listed on Craigslist, has had a professional detail, and was subject to a photoshoot under a classic Missoula Montana sunset
2000 Chevy Express 3500 w/ 350 Vortec Gas - 163.5k miles - Sportsmobile Conversion - Advanced 4x4 System Conversion - $32,100
-I am the third owner
With another addition to the family in the distant future we decided we'd get serious about a sale before summer escaped the northwest. This is the first time we've pursued a sale other than listing it on the forum last winter.
All details pretty much remain the same except for slightly higher mileage, which at the time of writing this is at 163,619 - The $410 detail (
), which included an exterior buff and interior shampoo really brought the van to life... and also me removing our camping/cooking/recovery gear
I'd be open to a discounted price for forum members either directly or as a referral discount if you know a party interested -- at a $1,000 discount
I tried my best to provide an accurate visual demonstration regarding the condition of the interior and exterior. Of course it has some wear and tear inside and out- it's just about to have its 20th birthday afterall. With that being said I have never had a mechanical breakdown or experienced any problematic issues with the van or its conversions. If you'd like any more detailed or specific photos/videos just let me know.

***********************************
This has been an awesome van to have for our family of four- two adults, one child and our border collie. We love throwing a weekend's worth of gear in the back (so much cabinet space) and just hitting the road in comfort. The pass through to the back is super convenient for checking on the little and having a refrigerator and sink on demand while on the go is remarkably handy. We generally head to a few lakes around Western Montana and when we arrive it's so nice to pop the top and have a place to cook, change, relax- it's our basecamp while we're on the go. It's also setup and ready to go for extended road/adventure trips.
I am looking replace this van with a van than can seat four.
***********************************
The van turns heads everywhere it goes. Be prepared to answer a few questions about it while stopping for gas. It always makes me laugh when people throw me a thumbs up on the road when passing by. For this reason I have used it as a promotion vehicle for a yearly event. I park it and set up our table and it brings in a steady line of onlookers curious about what's inside (see attached picture).
Additionally, I have successfully rented the van out for extra income. During the summer of 2018 I secured two week long rentals. It was listed on Outdoorsy.com (you can also opt to use Turo.com) I limited the miles the van could travel away from Missoula to give me peace of mind. Both renters put less than 400 miles each on the van while it was out and the experience was very positive and the extra cash was a big help. With a 1.5 year old around and both my wife and I working busy schedules I opted to not rent it out any longer. I'm sure you could secure 4-6 rentals a year if you choose to do so (see attached pictures).
***********************************
All systems- mechanical and conversions are in great working condition. This van is ready to hit the road immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to load up and start a cross country or extended regional adventure.
