You all know of THE BOX and it's history (if not go
HERE)
I can no longer keep it and i want it to stay in the ridazz community. If i offer it to the community for $2000 under the condition that it must STAY within the biker community would there be any takers? Think about this. Even if a group of 10 people put $200 each together you could all use this for awesome bike trips!
Insurance for me was about $90 a year. ALSO, you can drink in the rv ON THE STREET! As long as you are not in the front 2 seats that is. Why? Because it is a HOME and you are allowed to drink in your own home.
This is a very last minute thought which i'm considering so lets hear your opinions.

gasoline/diesel?
manual/automatic transmission?
Engine size?
miles on the chassis?

Any major mechanical work? (like a rebuilt transmission)

How long is it?
Do you need a special endorsement on your drivers license?

Specs: Engine:
454 Chevy 7.4L Gasoline- Runs great!

58,000 mi
1 Auxiliary Battery Bank and 1 Starting Battery bank
8 Wheels, 1 dually axle
Bathroom -
Stand up shower
Sink Toilet
Bedroom -
Queen size mattress
Kitchen -
Stove (propane)

Double Sink
Large countertop
Living Room -
Fold out couch
Single Chair
Comes with hose for water, drain hoses, ramps to go over curbs, emergency kit, extra parts and bulbs rear hitch and extra wheel, small BBQ, all the fuses you could ever need, some wall decorations (why not?).
Issues:
Both Air Conditioners and Skylights need to be replaced.
The roof needs to be resealed - it leaks. The Onan 6.5 RV genset (the onboard generator which makes electricity if you don't have the RV plugged in) has a starting problem
The tires should be replaced in the next 500 miles. Although they only have a few hundred on them already, sitting and sun damage dried the outside walls and they're cracking.
You do not need a special license to drive this RV. It DOES have a hitch in the back to tow a trailer. It's 34.5 ft long.

hint: it's not a good thing if the insurance is $90/yr. That means the vehicle is a POS.

$90 a year because it's 1982 and it's the minimum coverage, PLUS it's not the same insurance as for a car. It's considered a 'home' with less than 1000 miles a year.

Actually, $90 sounds about right. I used to work in insurance for State Farm and this model, seeing how it's pretty old and probably not much mileage being accrued throughout the year would warrant such a rate.

What it's worth is what people will pay for it. Seen many people buy crappy shit that is not worth what they payed for. But the real value in the box is all the stains from crusty crack mob hos being pounded in that thing.
sack or crack you choose responding to a

I would be willing to put in a few hundred bucks and claim some partial ownership of THE BOX.
Hell, I'd seriously consider buying the entire thing, but I don't have a place to park it.
