Nice van. A few questions.
1. Is there a fresh water tank and how many gallons?
2. Is there a shower connection and where?
3. Water heater?
3. How large is the gas tank?
4. Is there a fridge?
5. How old are the tires and approximate life left?
6. Was it driven on salted roads?
7. Any corrosion?
8. Anything needed before drive from Boston to CA?

 

[canaard]

The fresh water tank is 17 gal., I believe? Not exactly sure. Standard SMB tank.
No shower or hot water, sorry.
Gas tank is 32 gal, 28 gal., usable.
Fridge is an IsoTherm 130 w/ freezer and ISO.
Tires are in good shape. Rears only have 3k miles on them. Fronts maybe 10k.
Never driven on salted roads and very little, if any, corrosion.
Van is ready and able to be driven from Boston to CA.

Why are you selling it?

 

[canaard]

Simply put we're selling it because we are getting too old. I'm in my 70's and the wife turned 80 this year. We've had our adventures and wish to pass the baton...

 

[aVanDidIt]

Does the gaucho have seatbelts, and if so how many?

Does the portable table mount to the floor of the van, or fit inside to serve as a table for the gaucho bench?

What kind of gas mileage does it get and at what typical speed on the freeway?

Any photos of the inside of the storage closets/cabinets?

Any roof leaks?

 

[canaard]

The gaucho has three sets of seatbelts. The table is free standing on a tripod. It can be used inside or out.

At a speed of 70 mph on the highway the van gets 10-11 mpg, which is typical for this type of vehicle.

I can provide photos of the storage areas upon request. There's quite a lot of storage area and it is very versatile.

No roof leaks.

As it is winter here in the NE I've reduced the price of the van to $64,500 until spring.

Thanks for your interest,
Bill

Nice van - Not seen in photos - I'm guessing the van comes with bed platforms for the "upstairs" bedroom ? Thanks -

You can see those in the 7th photo. One half is resting vertically against the back of the inside of the poptop, and the other is pictured stored attached to the ceiling.

Very nice rig! How long is that particular gaucho bed?

 

[Tbone-SMB]

I’m interested in chatting
How can we connect?

 

[VanMiller]

Maybe try PM.

 

[bettyford-SMB]

Interesting

 

[aVanDidIt]

Is the van still for sale?

I'm also interested to know the length of the gaucho bed.

Also does it have the standard 3.0:1 Atlas transfer case, or might it be the less common 3.8:1? Edit: I was thinking of the SMB 4x4 conversion, what TC and ratio is in this Quadvan?

 

[canaard]

It's still for sale just not actively. Being mid-winter here in Boston I decided to winterize it and list it more aggressively in the spring.

To answer your questions, the transfer case is Ford option XC2, which is limited slip with 4.10 gearing.

I'm guessing the gaucho is approx, 70-72 inches but I'd have to measure it to be sure. It was installed by the former SMB West in Fresno, now Field vans.

Thanks for your interest.

 

[canaard]

Sorry but I winterized the van until spring so I haven't been monitoring this thread closely. Please let me know if you are still interested or have any questions.

 

[aVanDidIt]

Thanks for the reply. The XC2 limited slip sounds like one of the axle differentials, I was trying to determine the gear ratio in 4 low from the central transfer case.

Sorry. I misread your question. I really don't know the specs on the transfer case. Quadvan did not list it in the invoice. They did tell me that all of the parts used in the conversion are stock F-350 parts, if that helps.

 

[aVanDidIt]

Hello, bumping as I sent you a PM a little while ago but haven't heard back.

 

[swellrunner]

Also dm'd. Looking forward to hearing back!

Thanks!
