The 207 camper on ebay.

Has anyone out that way looked at this one in person? Apparently near Sacramento. I want it dangerously!

I think I have barely enough sense to stay away from it. If only it was a few states closer it would be no contest. Please, someone here buy it. It's got solar panels and gadgetry!

If it was on your coast, it'd be rotted away by now.
It's a motorhome- Buy it and drive it back. No hotels, no worries.
Makes me wish I had the money for sure. It's be slower than the last motorhome that I drove up from CA, but I bet it'd double that one's mileage.

I am seriously considering it. I can park it in the new garage and use the porta potty as my toilet. When the toilet fills, take it to the local cmp ground for emptying.

No water bills and taxes from the city

I have estimated the costs of installing water and a toilet to be approximately $ 24,000, thanks to my money-grubbing city.

I could buy quite a few MBs for that, couldn't I?

Until the city changes some of its regulations and allows me to put a septic tank in there, I have to find creative solutions that are simple and cost-effective.

Unless you want to send me a check for 24K.

If you do, pls make sure it's a cashier's check from a US bank

Thanks in advance!

LOL. Plus you can use the solar panels to power up a small TV etc. Or use them to keep an electric mower charged etc.

I already have a camper project that I've been sitting on now for over a year. I need to get back on it...

Here are some pics of it...

After gutting it...



The engine going in... 3.8 Supercharged Buick



My concept of how I would kind of like it to look when done...



I'm building it with kind of an odd approach. I'm parting out the original Renault Turbo Diesel from it to pay for the rebuild. So far, as it sits right now I'm 225 bucks to the good. My goal is to have zero in it when done. (Just my labor)
