Note:
These vans are often referred to as being a Sportsmobile. There is not anything on this van that was installed by the Sportsmobile company. Some aspects of the conversion was done by El Kapitan Conversion Co. in Westminster, CA by the Previous owner.
I am old with a bum knee. Since 2020, I have not traveled much. It is time for a new owner to enjoy this van.
I purchased it in April 2017 with 145K miles on it. I have added 37K trouble free miles. I can honestly claim that I did not get to use this van off road for more than 100 miles, and even fewer miles in the 4wd mode.
The previous owner is a neighbor and he kept meticulous records of all mileage, fuel consumption and destinations, all receipts from repairs and maintenance, original window sticker and sales brochures. My record keeping is nowhere near as thorough as his but I have been good on the oil changes and lubrications.
He had the Quigley 4x4 system, 46 gallon Transfer Flow fuel tank, vinyl flooring and paneling installed before taking possession of it in 2006.
The P.O. was an avid kite/wind surfer and the van was setup with racks for boards, masts and sails, and used the van for travel between La Paz, Mexico and Bend, Oregon. All of his miles were “Highway and freeway” miles. This van was not used by him as his camper or as a grocery getter daily driver. He did tow a Trailer one way down to La Paz with this van.
My goal was to have an off grid, camp ready vehicle, with plenty of inside elbow room to explore isolated places. Mandatory for me was to have ample fresh water (42 gallons), a large full-time fridge, and to have the convenience of a microwave oven. All my other cooking was done outside with a portable propane Coleman stove/grill.
Since I have owned this van, I had the Fiberine 24” top installed 2017
Built out the interior, and installed the 200W solar charging system,
Installed new front wheel sealed hub bearings (Preventative maintenance, $500 each from Quigley) in 2020
Replaced the windshield due to stone chip/crack. November 2023
Replaced the spark plugs, Cooling system flushed and fresh coolant installed. 2020
Installed K&N cold air intake air filter system, 2017
Replaced the emissions evap charcoal canister, new fuel cap, new fuel filter, 2020
I had transfer case and front and rear differential oils changed @148K.
Engine oil, filter and lube was last done 2000 miles ago in July 2023.
The Brake fluid flushed and Hawk LTS brake pads installed April 2023.
The Front end linkage was inspected, a new steering gear box installed, and alignment performed August 2023

Additional pictures of specific areas can be sent upon request.
The title is clear and Ca registration paid up until Sept 2024
A current passing CA Emissions test will be provided at the time of sale.
The vehicle is located in Orange County, California 92627
Current concerns:
There are a few new paint chips on the front hood from a gravel truck on the freeway. The hood skin in not metal.
Tires are good, no plugs or patches. The rears are 60% worn and fronts are 30% worn. The spare is well used but serviceable.
The fuel fill nozzle at the service station may be click off prematurely if the fuel is filled to fast. This only happens at some fuel pumps. It usually happens when the van is not level, and the filler is on the lower side of the tilting. The Fuel does not overflow or spill on to the ground. It was this way when I purchased this van.
Previous owner had serviced the transmission fluid on a regular basis. I have not done this since I have owned this van. The fluid is still full, clear and pink, and does not smell or leak.
I will be purchasing another full size 2WD passenger van to replace this one. I have been a van owner and driver since 1968.
This is a "no BS sale". Ask an honest question and you will get an honest answer.
Additional pictures can be provided upon request.
Make an offer. I might say "OK. Let's talk."
