Need help to sell Sportsmobile

[Sa Sa]

I'm hoping for some help on this -- my husband bought me a used Sportsmobile and, after a couple of years, he's no longer able to travel. The local folks all want me to give it to them but I know it has to be worth more than they are offering.

How do I price an older Sportsmobile?

Here are the details:

1997 Ford E250 Sportsmobile Van
Sportsmobile penthouse conversion
43,000 miles (The family we bought it from had it built and only went fishing in a local lake. We have been on several weekend trips but then Bill got sick, so we've probably put 3k or so on it.)
New tires Goodyear Wrangler heavy duty10 ply
Refrigerator, microwave, propane stovetop, sink -- some may need work but all the hookups are there
A/C, heat -- works well
Storage -- under counter & couch, closet, pantry
Couch makes into lower bed
Upper bed when penthouse is up
Small removable table
Privacy curtains including over windshield
Port-a-potty storage area
New battery -- New radio -- Bluetooth
Backup wireless camera
Class 4 trailer hitch -- New front brakes
All screens and glass in good shape
Shore cable for 30 amp service

It runs well and I've had several things repaired. We've gone camping several times but usually just for short periods of time and so we didn't cook or use the refrigerator or the water.

The penthouse is in extremely good shape.

Thanks for any advice/help you can give me!

What part of the country are you located in? Low miles, good condition SMBs are going for top dollar right now. Can you upload some pictures of the interior/exterior?

You've come to the right spot. A bunch of folks on here know these rigs and market inside out. As MG mentioned, post as many pics as you can both inside and out and where the van is located and you'll have a value range you can work with in order to get it sold.

I'm in Northwest Louisiana. I took pictures a year or so ago -- looking for them now. Hoping not to have to walk out in this heat (over 100 heat index) to take more but I will if I have to.
Thanks so much for your quick reply!

Thanks, Joe! I knew you all would help me.

I'll get pics asap.

Thank you for the offer! I'm searching my brand new computer for the right file of pictures right now and, if I have any problems posting them, I'll let you know.

Appreciate it!

I'm guessing this is a 2wd.
What offers have you had?

[carringb]

This is a great spot to list it!

If you don't get enough interest here, you could try listing it on Craigslist in a couple key markets (Portland, Tahoe etc), where folks are willing to pay top dollar to get a van asap.

If you're willing to work with travel plans for prospective buys (who may very well need to fly in to look at it) you'll greatly increase your getting a good price for it.
