***SOLD***
I'm regrettably selling my rig and camper. I'm the only one in the family that can drive this rig, and our family has kinda outgrown the truck camper. I've spent over 250+ nights in this rig (maybe more) and I can't say enough good things about the camper (and the truck). It's been all over Montana, to the Pacific coast twice, mountains, deserts- I'd estimate 50,000 miles. I hunt, hike, fish, camp and kayak a lot. The camper has never been smoked in. It has seen it's share of beer and wine. Also it has seen my dogs. I bird hunt and my dogs go with me in the truck and in the camper. They have not soiled either (other than hair). If you are allergic to dogs, please stop here.
First the Camper-
This camper is a boondockers dream come true!
The truck-
I'm the third owner but have owned the truck for over 10 years. Bought the truck with approx. 75K miles on it.
Here is the bad -

I'm asking 26,000 for both as a set. I have the camper listed for sale on my local Craigslist. My original plan was to sell the camper first, then the Dodge. However I know what will happen- the camper will sell fast, then the Dodge will sell to someone who will immediately turn it into a coal rolling hot-rod.
I think I'd rather let someone who wants a travelling rig first crack at it! I can be reached at threerun@outlook.com

The truck-
I'm the third owner but have owned the truck for over 10 years. Bought the truck with approx. 75K miles on it.
- 1998.5 Dodge 2500 SLT Laramie Quad cab, 24v diesel with 5spd manual tranny. 8' bed
- 202,000 on odo (and counting)
- VERY MILD Banks turbo kit and exhaust installed when truck was new. No aggressive tuning, no black smoke. Exhaust still in fantastic shape.
- 3 pillar guages (boost, EGR temp, fuel pressure)
- New Borgeson steering box and shaft ($1,000). HUGE difference in the truck! No more wandering truck while I wander the west!
- Less than 5,000 miles on BF Goodrich A/T 265/75/R16 tires (load range 'E')
- AR aluminum rims (clear coat coming off in spots- only cosmetic issue)
- Truck is equipped with the camper package and tow options from the factory
- Seats have no tears, carpet is in good shape. I have the original and unused carpeted floor mats.
- Previous owner had a spray in bedliner using the same exterior color as the truck. Has since faded to an orange color (cosmetic)
- Truck has been owned and maintained by a mature adult male that uses a truck like a truck should be used. I don't drag race with it, I don't rock crawl with it, I did not super-size it with lift kits and other stuff. When the camper is off I usually, you know, go to the lumber yard and haul stuff home with it. It's a truck.
- I have most of the repair and maintenance receipts. The truck has been cared for by a professional with over 20 years of Dodge diesel experience. He knows his stuff.
Here is the bad -
Camper-
- Slide out battery tray 'broke' during a routine battery maintenance. Two batteries and a frame smacked into the side of the truck (see truck 'bad' below') Poor design for two batteries. I took out the remnants of the frame and have the batteries resting atop boards. Some minor damage to the 'interior' battery cubby.
- Outside shower barrel lock is missing (fell out). New owner should simply replace ALL 3 barrel locks with the same coded key.
- CD player lid/door broke. We use our Iphones via bluetooth so it doesn't bother us.
- One interior light is out (I will replace)
- Vinyl floor has scuffs (no tears). I will try to buff out.
Truck-
- Period correct Dodge hood paint job (clear coat just started peeling).
- 1st gear- the truck occasionally pops out of the first gear gate (especially under load). If you keep your hand on the shifter in first gear it's fine. I suspect an issue with the gate. It doesn't bother me. All gears shift fine. Issue does not happen in any other gear.
- The dash is cracked in many places. It hasn't collapsed, but it needs repaired or replaced. There are two options. First, Geno's garage has a dash cover that when installed will keep the original dash from falling in. That should work fine for a long time and is fairly quick and straightforward on the install. Second- Geno's garage also has a full replacement dashboard made from ABS. If I were to keep the truck, I would go for the full dashboard replacement with the ABS dash. It is not a quick install (think a full weekend). While you have the front dash apart you might as well replace the heater core.
- Factory stereo receiver head unit just died.
- Dents and Dings- see 'battery tray' above. Drivers side behind quad cab door got a nice little dent. Various dings and dents here and there (two of which come with a great story. Story gets better after a few beers).
