2019 Carado Axion — Ram Promaster Hightop

Seller's Description

Looking for an RV that you can also use as a day-to-day vehicle? The Axion fits in a regular parking spot, it’s easy to drive, and can get up to 22 mpg at 55. It’s the perfect companion for any traveller and the single bed folds out to accommodate a partner! Go anywhere, any time, with your own living/dining, cooking, storage, and full bathroom. Solar panels and state-of-the-art lithium batteries will power your dream way off the grid. This van has been over the Rockies with ease, has seen the Grand Canyon, and has been used as a grocery shopping vehicle. It’s the best of both worlds. I love it, but I’m selling because I’ve settled in Costa Rica, and import taxes are too high there to bring it. This van will make somebody as happy as it made me, and it needs a new home. There are a couple of reasons why the price is lower than expected. The hose storage box is damaged and the TV has been removed due to my personal preference. However! Last year I made enhancements to prepare for a sale including buying and installing a brand new set of the latest-model lithium batteries ($7000), a new air conditioner, and had minor repairs made. The van’s biggest adventures are yet to come.
