DT E-i-C Vince: This next feature is a 1976 GMC Mobile Traveler 4X4 offered for $5000 in Edgar, NE (population 498 in the 2010 census) via craigslist. A typically sharp and poignant commentary by tipper Andy L follows:
Here is a strange vehicle that is more than meets the eye. From
the outside, it looks like your typical sex offender dwelling with an
interior like your grandma's basement. You can find any number of these
on Craigslist at any given time for half the price. What sets this one
apart is the fact that is 4WD. The vast majority of campers are
designed to cover vast, mind numbing stretches of interstate and occupy a
space at the KOA. This one can take the action off road and get you
even further from the pockets of humanity you despise so much.
Sometimes you need to sleep in your car. Maybe it's the only option left before becoming homeless, but hopefully it's by choice - like maybe you need to drive halfway across the country to see the stuffed body of the only beer-drinking goat to ever become the mayor of Lajitas, Texas and then be castrated for drinking on a Sunday...and there just isn't enough time to find or stay in a motel. For such an occasion, you need a covert RV - a vehicle that quickly transforms from transportation to lodging without calling attention to itself - or as this next seller calls it, a "Mobile Home on the DL." Find this 1984 Volvo 245 DL for sale in Ventura, CA for $2,000 via craigslist.
