Who Would Want an 8-Year-Old ARV?

  I saw things I like in every one of the vans.  Leasing sure would be the best possible way to discover travel preferences. For folks new to this experience the old saying "You don't know what you don't know" really rings true.

  Someone elses old custom isn't my custom today. Hard to believe but not everyone wants avocado colored kitchen appliances today

  Sprinters are definitely tall skinny and tipsy so keeping a low center of gravity is imperative.  I wouldn't even put an AC unit on the roof. Use an undermount system and don't put a lift kit on one, just asking for trouble and a terrible ride.

  Totally custom but for some reason the general layout is the same. Hmmm.

  In this day and age, why have a black water tank?  Composting toilets are the way to go for a van.

  Are they all Sprinter vans? I'd prefer the Transit.

  These are nice but I fail to see the point in watching. 30 minute video when the prices are not listed. I watched the first two and gave up.

  Hate to see all those tanks and batteries exposed to the elements under the van.  My Boho semi custom van has one thing under the van, the factory spare tire even with 39 gallons of fresh water and and possible 1080AHr of lithium batteries.   Of course it's not a diesel Sprinter which means at 6'2" I can sleep east/west without adding expensive flares which don't actually cover the full width of the bed and may eventually leak.

  With the economy, who can afford vans these days.

  Nobody wants a pre-owned ARV at these prices, that is why you have so much stock of them. You have tried to inflate the resale price though purchasing in the resale market. But then you can't resell them at the inflated prices, so you put them in stock and rent them. This eventually wrecks your company. When someone offers you $100k or $120k for a late model van, you need to take it, that's the reality of the used market. The full price new is far different from an already built van, as it is no longer a custom build. If you can buy a used Grech in the mid 100s then a used ARV is going to be the same.

  Weird business model.  Why buy a new RV on the latest platform with the latest tech & safety when you can buy an 8 year old RV?
