Default Must sell 2018 Express custom campervan

So I built this beautiful campervan to replace my higher mileage custom campervan. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I need to sell it. Problem is, It's so unique, I can't put a reasonable figure on it. I don't want to under price it of course, but I'm just not getting any action on it at the current asking price. (67k) I don't have much experience selling things and am not very good at shameless self promotion. ( maybe I need to work on that) Craigslist postings just aren't getting the response that I had hoped and expected. What would you all pay for something like this IF you were in the market? Any input would be much appreciated. Here's the specs and pics:

Put it on rvtrader and hope someone will bite. Unfortunately custom vans are tough to sell for the money you want, good luck

I thought the 4.3 engine only went in the standard load vans, but this one has the 8 bolt wheels indicating the heavy version of a 2500 or a 3500. The heavier version would get the 4.8 V8 or 6.0. Did that change recently?

Don't think it's as common, but it is available. When Safari Condo sold pop-top Class B's on the GMC Savana (regular and extended) they all came with the 4.3L V6. Not sure if they were 2500 or 3500, but they had 8-lug wheels.

Nice looking conversion! Best wishes with the sale!

I pulled up some brochures from 2017 and 2018 and it appears the 4.8 was across the board available in 2017, but got replaced completely in 2018 by the 4.3.

I have found that prices for either new or used class b conversions are close to the following rule. For a new class b take the sticker price of the new stock van and double that price. For a used take the value of such un modified van and again double that value. I am not sure if my ‘rule’ is good for a self converted van, but for manufactured conversions I found it pretty close. Of course exceptions for higher grade conversions such ARV or Sportsmobile can break my simple rule.

Look nice, looks stealthy, but $67k for a van you can’t stand up straight in does seem aggressive.

Nicely done. Hope you love your ARB fridge as much as I do mine. Mounted mine exactly the same as you, right behind the driver's seat. The passenger can access cold drinks while moving. Congrats on the fine job and the layout. So sorry that you have to part with it. There's a lot of "sweat equity" that will never be recovered; no matter what you sell it for. Good luck.
