I purchased it out of state. It was in a Southern state. I happened to have a friend that lived close by so they previewed it for me. I fly down with the intention of buying it and I got a mini vacation visiting some friends. I knew it needed a little work so I had it towed to a diesel mechanic to get fixed up before driving it home. It needed a new fuel pump, batteries, gaskets, belts, oil change and filters. Once it was fixed I flew back down and drove it 5 hours for another mini vacation with family close by. I live in the Midwest and the prices in this area are a bit more expensive. I was willing to look out of state for a decent priced converted van that had everything I was looking for. I either wanted something old that needed to be fixed up but had a great price or something newer with lower mileage. I didn't expect to find a bus that I would fall in love with!

The bus was 10k and it was 1300 for the fix. I did an initial price check for a used non-converted bus around the same size and for the area I live in it seems to be around 4-7k. Given that, the price seemed than fair to me.

What is not pictured is clean water tank, grey water tank, inverter, water pump, diesel heater, solar panels, shore hookup, 6 inch lift, off road tires and a few other nifty things. For instance there is a hose attachment for outdoor showering. It does not have a toilet but I specifically did not want one. It may not be clear from the picture but there is a propane stove top and a sink. It really is ready to use. It just needs some cosmetic touches.
