1972 Dodge Balboa Motorhome 
We call this one "Nebraska"

For Sale - $27,000 

A beautiful 18ft fiberglass vintage camper motorhome.  Imported and improved to San Diego by Freedom Vessel on a transport trailer from what seems to be the original owner family in Nebraska.  Primarily used for short fishing camping trips on weekends to the nearby lakes of Nebraska, and well preserved and cared for.  This van is very original, with u solar, 12v fridge, vinyl plank flooring, and other renovations.  It received a tune up and overlook by a mobile mechanic and he was impressed at the condition of the motor. Odometer reads 32,000 and appears to be original.  The v8 360 engine and transmission with factory dashboard AC and cruise control makes this original van go.  The original Onan generator has 39 hours on it!  It is a time capsule and collectors item.  Twin Bed layout with upper bunk area -fresh water 40 gallons, hot water heater that originally warmed the water off the engine or 110v. The double sink, stove, oven, propane Suburban propane heater, bathroom with shower and Marine recirculating flush toilet are all very clean as are the cabinets.  The whole van was polished, 100w Renogy solar has been added, and there is nothing in particular that seems to be damaged or missing from this unique camper.  Tires have nice tread and no cracks, but are not new, and probably aged, and the spare has no air in it.  There is 2 gas tanks. And a ladder to access the luggage rack.  This is number 835 of perhaps 900 or so ever produced in Costa Mesa, CA by Jensen Marine.  There is too much to mention on this camper, and more information can be found @freedomvessel on Instagram.
