Seller's Description
2003 Chinook Cascade – 70,000 miles – Twin Lounge Chair Layout – Fully Outfitted – $41,000 USD After an incredible four-month road trip across North America, we’re wrapping up our journey and — with a heavy heart — offering our lovely 2003 Chinook Cascade for sale. We’re heading back home to Austria, and sadly can’t take this amazing rig with us. It's been a reliable and comfortable home on wheels, and we hope to find someone who’ll appreciate it as much as we have. For sale is a well-preserved and road-proven 2003 Chinook Cascade – built on the 2002 Chevy Express 3500 chassis, powered by the highly sought-after 8.1L V8 L18 gasoline engine. With just 70,000 original miles, this rig is a rare find and features the twin lounge chair layout. This is not a project vehicle – it’s fully functional, thoroughly serviced, extensively upgraded, and ready to go. We spent four months traveling full-time across North America and can confidently say this Chinook is tested and road-ready. Everything you’d want in a Chinook is here – reliability, dry shell, powerful drivetrain, and thoughtful upgrades.
