    Hooray, the Van is back! This is why I originally started following your channel, because I was shopping for an old Class B, and eventually got myself a 1996 Xplorer. My setup is different from yours, but you still gave me a lot of good tips and ideas.

      Maybe i have too much a city boy mentality. I didn't like the nearest neighbors yard with all the car parts. only about half the 10 acres was usable for anything because of marshy area's. My friend said "you're paying for seclusion with that. He had a point but still.

    And don’t cheap out if the van needs new airbags. A motor home across from me at Itasca State Park lost an airbag in the middle of the night last August. It sounded like my 12 gauge shotgun. As it turned out, it was the wrong airbag. It looked like something that belonged on a Honda Civic low rider. So much for a peaceful night’s sleep.

      John, would you mind providing the name and model of your leaf helper? I have not had any luck locating the correct Add-A-Leaf model. I have a 98 Xplorer like Steve's. I have contacted several suspension shops and they don't even have a replacement leaf spring set for a 98 B3500. I will be upgrading the rear shocks as well.

      Hey Z. In good condition around 30k ish. Just google for.”Xplorer 230 XLWT FOR SALE” there are usually a few on sale at consignment RV dealers, and by looking at the pictures and mileage you can get a pretty good idea however, the market has diminished a bit for some RVs but I think class b are still popular
