M373A2E6 Electronic Van

[essayons07]

I purchased a M373A2 van a while back and have been paying storage. The state of the economy is forcing me to get rid of it. What are these worth? I hate to scrap it because it is so cool but that may be what I have to do. I guess it is only worth what someone is willing to pay...but a starting point would be good. Thanks

Payed about $1,000 in July 2010. Looking at the weight I should get more than that if scrapped. I've been paying storage for over a year so I know I will not recoup all of my investment.

Does it leak...have you tried to power up the 18,000 btu AC's? Do you have the power cable(5 wire)?

I wonder what it's worth in scrap.

Obviously you don't have a place for it,, or you would not have been paying for storage for a
year.

What was your plan? Seems like you've made a pretty good investment so far.


I hate throwing in the towel...

I got crazy on GL and bought some things I probably should not have. I had purchased it with the intentions of converting it to some type of camper. I also have a 818. My problem was that I did not relocate my items in a timely manner so either I paid a lot of storage or owe a lot of storage. I also have a 6 ton van with expansible sides that I was going to use as a work shop that I may end up getting rid of.

The data plate indicates about 10,000 lbs empty. I figure that the trailer is mostly aluminum so with a little hard work I can scrap out the aluminum apart from the steel. I think scrap steel is about $0.10 per pound and aluminum about $0.50 per pound.

I too hate throwing in the towel...but one has to keep the lights on and buy food...

I don't think it leaks. I have no way to test the units. No, I do not have the power cable.

I noticed this trailer somewhere else and am watching it. I'd like to get it, but I'd have to get a dolly and work just isn't going to allow a pickup right now.

Now I get it...

I guess $1200 is too much(to answer the OP's starting point question)
