Default Class B 1981 Brougham?

Anyone know anything about these Class B's? Good or bad? This one has 53K Miles on it.

To be honest, anything that old is going to cost you an arm and a leg, with all the organs in between to keep on the road. The furthest back I'd consider going would be the 1990s, just due to parts availability.

Those are typically Class C's without over cab bed.Fiberglass shell.Terrible MPG but more roomy than a van.Don't rely on owners word.Ask them to have fridge running the night before you see it.If not then consider it must be replaced in your offer.Rust ? In SoCal usually not an issue unless near ocean.Crawl under and look.

If that's the one on the Moreno Valley Craigs list.It sure looks good but it does not say if everything works or not.Price is eye of beholder.

Yea, that's it. I will see it tomorrow. He claims everything works, we'll see. Dash A/C needs to be recharged with R-134, no generator(no big deal), both kitchen and shower faucets need to be changed out as they are stiff.

If you thought it was too small I'm thinking class b's are not for you. That rig was probably roomier than most class b's.
