We purchased this 1997 Eurovan full camper in pretty sad shape for $6000. It was not crashed, or terribly rusty; it was just time for A LOT of work, so the owners decided it was time to part with it.
We sold it to Spike and Ally for our cost plus $470, plus all of the work that it needed. Then, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work!
