Located in San Diego, California.
Registered as an automobile in California!!
We bought this last May from a pair for New Zealanders who built it out and drove it to 48 states over the course of their 1 year visa to the US. We upgraded the floor, added sound deadening, replaced the ladder, re-worked the electrical, added the rear deck, added an inside/outside sound system, replaced the tires and brakes, and upgraded the driver seat. Two families of 4 then did an amazing Western US tour for 2 weeks. We were going to keep her for more adventures but Covid-19 has changed our income situation. Our loss is your gain!
