Camper life is still a major force in the automotive enthusiast landscape, with pandemic-plagued consumers finding ways to escape the ordinary without relying on an airplane. This trend has also caused prices for campers and miniature RVs to skyrocket, or at least make it a highly competitive event to try and snag one. This 1990 Ford E350 conversion van was modified by Airstream when new, and turned into a very convenient home-away-from-home with plenty of features and a reasonable size. The seller notes it is very original with just 64,521 original miles. It comes loaded up with features like a toilet and a kitchenette, and it’s listed here on eBay with bids to $12,600 and no reserve.

The incredible thing about that bid price is if this Ford was just slightly ratty or had a tired interior, you wouldn’t see that kind of number. It’s all about condition when it comes to campers, and whether you can move into it as soon as you take delivery. The other big selling point is the level of features, as some campers this size just have a bed and a sink, which is certainly less complicated not not necessarily as suited for months on the road. This Ford has been given a wide assortment of features that should make it a good road trip partner able to leave home and not return for quite some time. There’s plenty of sleeping space, too, so you don’t have to take off for parts unknown with just a solitary friend or canine.

It’s nicely appointed throughout, with the driver’s compartment featuring half leather / half cloth bucket seats. There’s full curtains as well, so you can pull off and cover up all the windows to grab some Z’s. Other features include running water, shower, toilet, sofa, bed, top sleeper area, generator, micro monitor, full stove/oven, microwave, mini fridge, and more. Now, the big question that isn’t answered is whether all that equipment still works. The trouble with a camper of this vintage is that some of the more desirable items – like the generator and the running water – can be problematic by this point, either due to outright equipment failure or leaks (or both.) Fortunately, this Airstream conversion doesn’t appear to be hiding those faults.

The exterior doesn’t set my heart on fire – blame the industrial color scheme – but the inside looks to be very well preserved, and certainly quite clean. The fake wood trim still presents well, and the upholstery and carpets don’t reveal any obvious soiling. The toilet area looks clean enough to use without any fear of catching a disease, and the touchable surfaces – switchgear like the head unit and CB radio, switches, controls – all look very clean with no heavy signs of use. I’m sure up close you’ll find some flaws, and I’d still want to have the interior detailed before taking up residence, but it certainly presents well enough in photos that I’m not surprised to see the bidding so far.
