2011 Fleetwood Expedition® 38B w/Solar, 25kWh Battery, 8kW Inverters!

Price: US $118,000.00 Item location: Wallingford, Connecticut, United States
Description:

Freightliner chassis, Bunkhouse floor plan, 25kWh battery storage, 1600w solar, 8kW inverter capacity, 800mi fuel range with capable Cummins ISB 6.7L diesel, washer and dryer onboard - this is an off-grid boon-docking stay-anywhere highway-mile-eating machine!

Everything, including both roof A/Cs, can run off the battery system for 8+ hours, often more - the inverters have more capacity than the generator and on sunny days solar adds hours of operation. We tested it in the 115°F heat of Big Bend, freezing temperatures in the Adirondacks for the 2024 eclipse, across the continental US May - November. In mild climates with limited A/C use you will never need shore or generator power.

This RV is ready to go on the road today. Recent service on the engine and generator, full water tanks, empty grey and black tanks, full propane, full diesel and DEF. Spring 2025 service on slides, furnaces, and hot water furnace. Detailed interior, all linens washed and beds made. Basic kitchen cutlery, plates, glassware, pots, and other implements. Laundry sanitized and ready to do a few loads a day.

Will deliver anywhere in the lower 48 from 06492 for a negotiable fee and deposit.

  • 38' Bunkhouse Design focuses on living room comfort with plenty of seating and a roomy kitchen.
  • Two slide outs: One almost full length, one kitchen, make an enormous interior when deployed.
  • 8kW Cummins Onan generator.
  • Cummins ISB 6.7L 360HP Diesel engine gets 8-9MPG and is dead nuts reliable, enough power to pass most semis on hills.
  • Alison 3000 series transmission is much stouter than required, should outlast the coach.
  • Large pass through under-coach storage bay accommodates bikes, shelters, chairs, everything for a long trip.
  • Tows 10K pounds, we towed a VW Golf on a dolly (available) which was very convenient.
  • Air suspension & air brakes make for a comfy ride - and exhaust brake saves wear and tear.
  • Sleeps 6-8 depending on how big the last four people are (bunks and dinette are not really sized for adults IMO)
  • 10 gallon hybrid electric / propane hot water heater is plenty for a few quick showers in a row on propane, or one lazy shower on electric.
  • 105G fresh water, 75G gray, and 50G black can last a week between dumps if you're a little careful. 38G propane tank runs both heaters for 1-2 weeks in cold weather, or is enough for an entire summer using propane just for cooking and hot water.
  • Dual satellite dishes and five TVs (2x in bunks, one in bed, one in kitchen, one outside) NB: We never have used any except the one in the kitchen and then only HDMI connected to an iPad, no idea how to hook up satellite or radio signal.

Chassis & engine service wasverycomplete and done each year by Alliance Trucks in Hartford - the CT Freightliner specialist. House service was done by Blue Compass each year, and even small issues like a slow drip from the outside sink sprayer addressed completely (faucet replaced). I repaired everything else, including cabinet latches, storage bay latches, etc. Service records and manuals from my ownership time included. Coach comes with a box of maintenance items and good quality tools, I never had to make any major repairs on the road but you should have what you need.

Known imperfections:

  • Clearcoat peeling top front and rear of coach by clearance lights. Repairable by any autobody shop, doesn't affect the waterproofing, been that way since I bought it.
  • Dryer timer got bumped at some point by previous owner, works fine but doesn't stop the cycle reliably. Replacing it requires removing the entire washer/dryer combo, which requires partly disassembling the closet - I decided it didn't bother methatmuch.
  • Bunk bed TVs: Top one doesn't latch reliably, but works. Bottom one doesn't seem to work, but latches! Kids have Kindles to entertain themselves, so I didn't address.
  • Door awning doesn't come all the way back in without a jiggle, main awning is flawless.
