1988 Ford Honey. 69,000 miles apparently in great shape. 351 Cleveland and a 3 speed auto. He said he got 11 mpg driving it from Idaho to Missoula. It has new tire all around and he paid $3,000.

Man, that thing is clean!  It must’ve been kept indoors its whole life.

My neighbor has an older motor home. It’s pretty good at one thing...

Having piles of money thrown at on a pretty regular basis. Hope your dad has fun with it, though.

It spent most of its life in the “southwest”. So yeah no rust or rot of any kind.

I don’t think it will be that bad, as this model is about as simple as they come.

See that’s his mistake. Older motor homes are so cheap that the obvious solution is to just buy a new one anytime you run into problems.

Seriously though, that is pretty clean looking. If it really is free of rot and everything works, NP.

Nice! That mileage isn’t too bad considering he was going over a mountain pass. It’s a good size for getting in to more isolated camping spots. Just make sure it doesn’t have those Goodyear tires on it!
