One class of vehicle with huge price swings between forgotten projects and nicely preserved and/or restored examples is the vintage motorhome. People are either praying you’ll come haul this thing away (they might even pay you to do it) or they’re asking near $40,000, such as this nicely presented 1973 Dodge Apollo motorhome. The seller of this example shares numerous photos demonstrating just how well maintained it is, with a very nice interior and the sort of cabin that has furnishings you won’t mind sitting on or sleeping in. The bodywork looks decent too, even if the paint is a little tired. With a 1973 production year, I’m inclined to believe this is a model known as a “Neptune,” but I’m not positive. It’s listed here on Facebook Marketplace for $35,000 in Spokane, Washington.

Thanks to Barn Finds reader Lee S. for the find. The Apollo was part of what seemed like a booming industry in the 1970s, which is that of the motorhome segment. The open road was calling and people were either looking for an easier way to see the country or to drastically simplify their lives in the era of peace and love. The Apollo brand actually soldiered on quite successfully for many years, and was even occasionally mentioned in the same breath as Winnebago, a testament to the build quality on display in models like this. The manufacturer built motorhomes atop an International Harvester chassis with the likes of a 392 V8 up front, giving first-time RV owners a break when it came time to diagnosing potential mechanical faults on the side of the road miles away from civilization.

The interior really is a treat on this vintage motorhome, as it retains many of the period-correct details that tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was constructed in the 1970s. The acres of brown, light green, and yellows are perfectly suited to a 1970s cruising machine, and this is a lot of the reason why the price is so high. It’s shockingly hard to find a vintage RV with its original interior intact, as many of them have been previously gutted of all interior accommodations for modernization projects that never materialized, or the material is simply trashed and made quite funky courtesy of an unresolved water leak from the roof or indoor plumbing sources. This one doesn’t appear to have any of those issues, and must have been well loved since new to still remain in such fine shape inside.

The seller notes that the Apollo will come with several upgrades and some recent maintenance work performed. The upgrades include a 400W solar panel with two 100 amp lithium ion batteries, and a 3000 watt smart inverter charger. Recent mechanical work includes brand new tires, front end components, a starter, windshield, shocks, shift linkage, and more, along with a carburetor rebuild. The tricky thing with RVs is that when people refurbish them, you tend to have to go all the way with it in order to justify the expense. Repairing what’s immediately broken but nor refreshing the interior (if needed) almost guarantees a small pool of buyers, none of whom want to pony up. But if you’ve got a minty interior like this one AND documented maintenance, the pool of buyers willing to part with the kind of money being asked here begins to grow.
