Our Travco is FOR SALE! (We're going sailing!!)

We are selling our 1974 vintage Dodge Tracvo 270 with title. She is in great shape as we have done much to her aesthetically and mechanically. She came to us in pretty good shape, but we added our own personal touches to the interior, and the mechanics have been gone through with fine tooth comb. Following is a list of upgrades and tweaks:

nice Kenwood stereo with CD player
new copper exhaust manifold gaskets
new valve cover gaskets
new ignition
new rear wheel cylinders, seals, and bearings
6 new 19.5" tires (3 spare tires)
disc brake front axle
installed later model used Onan 4KW generator (works GREAT!!)
installed after market gauges (water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel gauge)
repaired dash A/C and Tecumseh compressor
all lights and blinkers function properly
installed air scoops on side (to help cool the motor)
motor and tranny run GREAT - never let us down and wouldn't hesitate to drive anywhere
new faucet in bathroom sink
brakes work EXCELLENT!! (rear brake drums may squeak sometimes...)
propane stove works perfectly
AC and DC interior lights
many outlets (all function)
new canopy
outside ladder has been re-braced and is strong)
bike rack comes with
new Samsung flat screen TV (17" with articulating mount)
A/C -16500 BTU A/C (original but works GREAT - not quiet, but very COLD! not an obnoxious noise, just audible!)
wired for trailer lights
bumper mount hitch
freshly painted inside - white cabinets and doors; very pale yellow walls (looks nice!)
new knobs (original hardware is on board as new owner may want to put the originals back on)
White exterior - NOT perfect but totally worked for us. We didn't want to spend the money; we just wanted to enjoy her!
LOADS of other upgrades - too much to list (SEE VIDEOS!)

For Sale!

We're fortunate in that our dream of owning and cruising on our own sailboat has come true! We bought a boat and will be moving aboard sometime in October 2014.

I have no idea what to list our Travco for right off the bat, but we will consider offers! I would love to keep our beautiful vintage motorhome, but it's silly. She needs weekly love and affection which isn't something we can give her while in the middle of the ocean.

More soon...
