I remember it had a voracious appetite for gas, seemed we were always stopping for gas, which was fine, to get out of that thing. Bias ply tires (radials would have helped) was all over the road, and hang on to the steering wheel in a stiff cross wind, or semi coming at you on a 2 lane. The chassis is a truck chassis and it rode like one. “If you can drive this, you can drive anything”, he said, and he was right. I had just gotten my license, and the old man “threw” me behind the wheel. When I was a teen, he “graduated” to the motor home set, with a unit EXACTLY like this. The old man pulled trailer campers for years when I was a kid. Both our families had campers of some sort. Have any of you ever owned an older Winnebago like this? Or, any motorhome? It has good tires and a 4-year old awning that’s probably worth a good portion of the asking price. They say that this motorhome “starts and drives”, and it looks like it has 99,331 miles on it, or that’s what the odometer currently shows. A bonus is that it comes with a fairly new Generac generator with just 250 hours on it. Hopefully that wouldn’t be hard to repair. They mention that the roof has a bit of damage which you can sort of see in this photo. Expect to get around 7 mpg with this l’il rig. This one, being a D-18, has the 318 Dodge V8. There are no interior photos or engine photos, unfortunately. We had a 1969 Winnebago pickup camper that my mom and dad bought brand new but we secretly always wanted a little Winnebago motorhome like this one, that would have been quite a step up. I like the look of these square-edged windows, it just adds to the vintage feel for me. A heck of a camping machine for $6,700 in 1972! In 1973 they modernized the look a bit with rounded window corners (rounded corners?!) instead of the square corners seen on this one. No matter which configuration, length, or drivetrain choice you settled on, these came standard with power brakes, power steering, dual rear wheels, and on the interior they had a water heater, shower, pressurized water system, 3-burner stove with oven, forced-air furnace, gas/electric refrigerator, etc. The D-18 (18-feet, side dinette, Dodge 318 V8), the D-20/C-20 (20-feet, side dinette, Dodge 318 or Chevy 350 drivetrain), and the D-20RD/C-20RD (20-feet, rear dinette, Dodge 318 or Chevy 350 drivetrain)! I may run and look at this one as soon as I can get in touch with the seller, just for my own curiosity. Winnebago Braves came in three models, but with a twist: 20-footers had the option of either Dodge or Chevy drivetrains. I think this is an D-18 model, as in an 18-footer, but I’m not positive and there is no mention of it in the ad. The seller is asking a very reasonable $800 or best offer for this one!
