Okay, third time's a charm with Craigslist.
New link: https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/rvs/6130598328.html

Some more info here in the event CL does something weird to my ad again...

We are selling our 1997 Roadtrek 190 Popular class B for $18,400. Looks and runs superbly for its age! We're switching to something with 4WD for greater off-road accessibility.

- 123k miles - starts up and runs great, no mechanical issues
- Nice after-market stereo plus amp that includes bluetooth, usb, aux input (also links to your Pandora/iHeartRadio accounts if you have those)
- Outside shower hookup and inside is a wet bath
- Onan generator
- A/C
- Captains chairs and table up front
- Lounge setup in the back with ample table room
- Seats in back arrange to make a king size bed
- Lots and lots of storage cupboards
- 6 feet of stand up headroom!

Everything works and runs great! Engine starts and runs smoothly, generator also starts and runs well, all electrics and outlets, all sensors, heater + themostat, water pump and faucets, house battery (charges and holds its charge well), tanks and propane, refrigerator (albeit a tad finicky when van is parked unevenly), two burner stove, and everything functions on shore power as expected.

A few items we've temporarily removed and currently in dry storage (we can easily retrieve and put these components back in if you want them):
- microwave (works great, we just didn't need a microwave!)
- awning
- third bucket seat behind the passenger seat

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see more photos!

Cheers,
Stephen

Just to let you know, these vans sell like hot cakes in Québec. You can post for free on Kijiji.ca You never know!

Thank you! I think I will do that. Funny thing is, we tried to buy a Roadtrek from Montreal before we landed our current van, and that one sold basically as soon as it was posted. I'll give it a go!

Cheers,
Stephen

Every van I tried to buy before buying my current one had 4-5 buyers in line. One Leisure Travel Sprinter even had 37 people interested!

You have nothing to loose and keep your phone close by!

Ahh, I just noticed that you are in Quebec! I searched around Kijiji.ca and they only seem to operate in Canada. For me to list a vehicle I can only select a location in Canada from their drop-down list. There doesn't seem to be a way around that (not that I can find at least).

So I might be out of luck with that one unfortunately. Based on the vans currently posted there, the market certainly seems pretty active and enthusiastic. Perhaps I should drive mine up and live in it for a few weeks for the sale!

You might want to advertise it on the RT Int'l website. They have used RT's and the turn-over is good. I listed my '05 a few years back - 39 calls, 1 lady came in in the middle of a big storm from New Jersey, drove it about a block and bought it. Ron

Thanks!

Do you have the link for RT International? When I web search for that I get all manner of results.

Cheers,
Stephen

Try: Roadtrekchapter.org. I know it is a Membership and part of FMCA, but you may be able to List yours there...they have a Section. Ron

Well....just bought a low mileage 2006 Ford F-150 with off-road/lift kit! We're going to add a shell to the bed (replace the flat top already on there) and build out a convertible living/sleep space. The bed is 6.5 feet long (about 6.3 feet inside with the liner), which is plenty long enough for us to sleep. We were originally thinking Sportsmobile or a custom build with good 4x4 off-road capabilities, but decided on lower, stealthier profile.
