This camper van comes with a unique feature that adds to its appeal. Inside are signatures of students from Montclair State University in NJ as part of an exploration day held at the college. Students were encouraged to be more social and creative which resulted in the signature artwork on the interior. Interior is in great shape, especially the upholstery on the seats and beds. The front passenger side seat swivels around completely and there’s Bluetooth capability as well. Present owner has had the van for 3 years and is the third owner. There are a few issues with the van: On the exterior, there are a couple of small rust areas that can be seen in the photos. However, the undercarriage looks good overall. On the interior, the fuel gauge is not totally accurate, although it is working. There is no heating or AC currently in the van. The ice box is not functioning and the pop-up roof, although recently fixed, is not opening for the sleeping area. The van still sleeps 4 – 3 comfortably. The van needs a little work to bring it back to its full glory. However, this van is in very good structural condition and would make a great addition to any collector, or someone just looking for a fun camper van to go exploring. Located in Hawthorne, NJ.
