Vehicle description
Friends, This is the nicest vehicle I"ve ever owned. Unfortunately, my family has outgrown it, so it"s time for me to send it on to its next happy owner. I bought the Chalet camper shell on its original factory chassis. That chassis was tired, so I bought the current chassis, a former Air Force CUCV (purchased at 37k miles, about 70k original miles on it at this point). The CUCV had been upgraded with power leather seats, a CD stereo, new carpet, headliner and dash pad by its previous owner. I swapped the camper on and have been using it as my daily driver ever since. As an ASE master tech, I like to keep my stuff nice. In the time that I"ve owned the chassis, the following work has been performed: New master cylinder New front brake pads New rear shocks New steering stabilizer Four new balljoints New steering knuckle greaseable universal joints, seals, wheel bearings repacked New rear driveshaft greaseable universal joints New power steering return line New engine oil cooler lines New radiator New thermostat New mufflers and tailpipes New dual group 31 batteries New house battery New alternator New Belts New glow plugs New glow plug relay Transmission overhauled by professional trans rebuilder New flexplate New Trailer hitch and pigtail New Potable water pump in the camper New injectors 5 new tires (full size spare) Rear seats/bed area/bunks reupholstered (updated since photos were taken) Television upgraded to flatscreen (updated since photos were taken) New canvas in the pop top Probably more that I"m not able to think of. Receipts available upon request. Additionally, I"ve added a small inverter to run the installed television and a shoreline APU air conditioning and electric heat (10,000 BTU A/C, 14,000 BTU Heat). The Chalet has a built in charger for the deep cycle battery. Because I live in the frozen tundra, I"ve also added battery heaters, an engine oil heater and an engine coolant heater. The truck also comes with a custom fabricated cold weather grill cover and a warm weather bug screen. The truck includes a Margaritaville tailgating grill, which was gutless from the factory, so I"ve upgraded it with a variable pressure propane regulator that can make it roar like a jet engine when you really need to cook. I"ve also plumbed in a tank mounted lantern so that you can light your campsite off the 20lb tank on the camper. Because this chassis is near mint I"ve also applied POR 15 to the bottom of the truck to prevent rusting. Finally, I"ve taken to towing this truck with my Avalanche 2500 so that my kids have a place to sit. I built the Mary mother of all tow bars that is currently on the truck. It uses a 2 5/16" ball. The truck is setup to run a Blue Ox Patriot brake controller, which is available separately. In short, I really hate to see this one go, but it"s not practical for me any more. As always, my walk away guarantee applies - if you win the auction and the vehicle is not exactly as I"ve described it, you walk away - no questions asked. Please feel free to call me with any questions. Randy (608) 209-7706
