If you would like to see additional pictures or look at the van in person, please contact me by phone at 541-740-4262.

Multi-purpose van can be used for road trips with the sleeping platform or up to 5 passengers with space for additional gear.

I have built an L-shaped sleeping platform with space for gear underneath - it is great for going on extended road trips.

Since I put in the sleeping platform right when I purchased this van, the bench seat was removed and has been stored in a dry and clean location so it is still in like new condition.

If you are not interested in the sleeping platform, I can easily remove it and put the bench seat back in.

Mostly highway miles as I used it for traveling long distances. It has always been very reliable, but I live in the city now and don't need such a large vehicle any more.

ALL repair records and routine maintenance paperwork through first and second owner available.

I have added window tinting for privacy and there are rain guards so you can have the windows open slightly when it's raining and not have water come in.

Hitch with electrical hookup option for pulling a trailer.

Rear tires are 1 year old with not many miles and are still under warranty.

Tire chains included if you want them, but this van does GREAT in snow.

Original Owner's Manual included.

Additional Information:

This is the perfect adventure camper van!

I have used this van to camp out of and built a solid platform which provides space for sleeping while also having lots of space for gear. I am willing to sell it with the custom platform or without it. It has tinted windows and is white in color which results in it staying cool even in warm temperatures. I put window rain protectors over the front two windows so they can be left open in a downpour and still keep the front seats dry.

* I also have the original van bench seat (not pictured but will be included) which has hardly been used due to having the platform in it. It can be installed or taken out in seconds which makes this van very versatile.

This van handles amazingly in all weather conditions as it is all wheel drive (same as four wheel drive) and will come with chains (even though I have rarely needed chains because it does so well in snow). There is a factory rack to which you can mount a Yakima rack or similar rack system (Thule, etc.).

I bought this van in 2005 from Randy Jones Chevrolet in Corvallis OR with 94,128 miles. It had one previous owner before me who did all their routine service at the same place and at the recommended intervals (all of those records can be printed out and reflect all routine maintenance that occurred).

I have also kept up with routine maintenance at the recommended intervals. I have a file with everything I have done to the van over the last 8 years. Since I bought it, (excluding normal maintenance) I have only had to replace the power steering pump 3 years ago and 6 months ago I had a new U Joint and shocks on the front.

Currently the van has 219,000 miles on it. Most of those miles I put on it are highway miles since I drove many times between Oregon and Wisconsin along with traveling to explore various areas of the US (hence the perfect camper van). Not to mention I bike commuted to work and to run errands more often than driving the van short distances. I put new tires on the back 1 year ago. I also put a new AM/FM/CD radio in it. I know of several people with the same van that have gotten well over 300,000 miles on theirs.

I have since moved to the city and don't travel / camp nearly as much as I used to, so I got a smaller car to match my new lifestyle. I hope this van can go to a good home of someone who can enjoy it and get the most out of its awesome features! It truly is the ultimate road trip / camper van!

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
