| ***SOLD*** 1973 REVCON 250D Motor home***SOLD*** I purchased this a couple years ago and have really enjoyed it. We have put over 15,000 miles on it and it runs great. It actually gets about 10 MPG at 65 MPH and will travel comfortably at 75!! Revcon motor homes were made by the son-in-law of the guy who started Airstream. They are constructed similarly, and are powered by the drive train from a front wheel drive Oldsmobile Toronado. That's right, it is a classic front wheel drive motor home. Cool, Huh? 25 feet long. 107K Miles. Oldsmobile 455 Engine. Brand new TH425 3 speed automatic transmission. Front wheel drive. Built in 5500 watt Onan generator that works great. Roof Air works well. Brand new Fantastic Vent. Fully self contained. Good tires. One queen size bed and one twin bed (2 adults and 2 kids). No water damage at all!!. The engine runs great, I change the oil every 3500 miles and it needs about 1 quart between changes (that is normal for this era of GM big block motors). Drive train parts are readily available and there is an on-line Revcon owners group that helps if you have problems finding anything, but hey, this thing is practically brand new, you won’t need parts for a long time. NEW (since I owned it): rebuilt transmission (2011), new ball joints, front wheel bearings, front end alignment and left side drive shaft (2009), new brakes (2008) new Holley Economizer carburetor - (2008), Fan and fan clutch and belts (2010), heater core and hoses (2009), house batteries – 6 volt golf cart type (2009), chassis battery (2011), hot water heater (2008), fresh water plumbing (2008), Roof Vents (2011), Waste (gray and black water) valves (2011), curtains (2009), reupholstered seat cushions (2008), new 30 amp plug (2011), new outside rear view mirrors (2008). Work done before I bought it: Newer 3 way (110, 12v, propane) refrigerator, recent valve job with all new stainless steel valves, economy headers (4-2-1), new furnace, new paint (not perfect, but pretty good). The Story: I bought this from an old guy who had owned longer that anyone could remember. He loved it dearly and used it regularly and maintained it meticulously. He lived in Denver. I picked it up from his son in Coeur d’Alene, ID. The only thing that does work right is the oven. The thermostat is broken and the temperature does not maintain correctly. It will light just like it is supposed to, but the temperature in the oven is not accurate. I will try to get that fixed before it sells. The other thing that we were planning to do this year is the carpet. It is serviceable the way it is, it would just look better with new carpet. We are selling it because we want something larger and more modern to do some longer road trips over the next few years. Translation: my wife doesn’t trust my sweet vintage motor home even though we have covered 15,000 miles in it with no breakdowns, except for the heater core which gave up the middle of the Nevada desert, and I fixed that by by-passing it and we were on the road again in ½ hour.
