This thing is a stealth road trip machine, perfect for coastline cruising or long hauls across the US. I’ve done it all in this rig. Clean Montana title. I am the 2nd owner, original owner was the state of Texas as a fleet vehicle. Van has absolutely NO RUST damage, has typical drainage orange stains near bottom of doors but no actual deep rust. Van is absolutely rock solid, did 22 day/6700 mile trip in October with not a single hiccup, warning light, or problem all while getting 22MPG. Runs like an industrial sewing machine. Planned on keeping van forever but lost my job so gotta sell.
