1972 Ray Frank-built Xplorer motorhome on a 1971 Dodge B300 1-ton van. 133K pampered miles. Driven all over the country but mostly in summer months. I have owned the van for 20 years and it has been stored indoors each winter. It runs excellent (my Dad was a Chrysler mechanic in the 70's and helped me maintain it), strong brakes and transmission. Original paint, wheels, hubcaps, etc.
Interior is nice, the wall coverings were really ugly (originally yellow-ish) as well as carpet and curtains so they were updated but other than that not much has been changed.
You could drive this van as-is and enjoy it for years by simply maintaining it. There are a few things you could fix/replace (see below) but I've been driving it for years the way it is and it's fine.
I have been dreaming of a full restoration for years but realized it is probably not going to happen, at least by me. So, if you are a collector or a restorer this is a RARE FIND as I have purposely kept it as close to original as I can.
So here's the interior:
-step down interior allows for a 6' headroom in the main salon
-bed in rear is a double, salon table folds into a bed so could sleep up to 4
-bathroom with sink that doubles as shower
-main salon has sink, 2-burner LP stove, AC/DC refrigerator
-hot water heater
-11,000 BTU LP furnace
-hanging closet, plenty of cabinets, drawers and compartments
-ventilation fan over stove
-fresh and black water holding tanks plus a hose hookup
-110V plug-in
-seperate start and house battery
- 2 20lb LP tanks in vented storage locker
-huge dual access storage in rear compartment under bed

Here's the punch list (what I've been planning anyway):
-convert fan belt-driven cooling fan with electronic (belt clutch likes to squeak when cold)
-replace leaky toilet (yes, it leaks so I haven't used it in years)
-replace interior lights (they are old, lenses cracking)
-reupholster seats
-replace curtains
-new carpet in cab
-replace fridge (it is original and there are much more efficient ones now)
-replace house battery (perhaps make it a 2-battery system) and clean up wiring
-replace/repair marking lights on sides of body
-have minor rust spots fixed, small dents repaired and new paint job

I am asking $5000 as-is. I haven't seen one of these for sale to really compare it to.

Enjoy the pictures, Cheers...
