1977 American Clipper for sale in Rancho San Diego (Sold)

[morse-johnson]

1977 American Clipper for sale.  New starter motor, new spark plugs, new kitchen faucet, new interior radio with remote control, LED lights, Propane ceramic heater, two marine batteries, new black & grey water valves.  Runs well.  Current smog check.  Some parts need work.  $2500, obo.  Would love to sell to someone who really appreciates Clippers and is interested in fixing it up!  Let me add my list of things which need work on this motorhome: possible water heater leak, propane tank seal around gauge needs re-sealing, refrigerator doesn't run on electricity (probably just heating element not working), AC works mostly but compressor sometimes doesn't turn on.  So, nothing really serious, but a few minor things here and there.  The basic unit seems sound and the engine runs really well.

Hello,
Is this still for sale? What engine is it? When was it last run?
thank you JCBoyce

[morse-johnson]

It's a Dodge '77 engine, 440 cin, v8.  It passed smog back in May 2018 and still runs well.  The last smog check noted that the carburetor accel. pump needs work, but in every other way it runs well.  The issues it has are really all wrt to the camping part, not the motor.

I preferred and had the 360. but that is not a deal maker.

any chance you can add some pictures of the inside of the clipper, and which floor plan.
is this a 21 or 24 foot?

thank you JCBoyce

[morse-johnson]

It's the floor plan with the kitchen in the back.  Looks as though I'm only allowed to include 2 pics per note.  Here's a pic toward the front and toward the back.  Oh, and it's the 21ft.

Actually, I see those pics are rather low res.  I'm uploading more to my own server...

Ok, you can see higher res pics here:

Thank you for the pictures,

I am considering a trip down to see it.

I hope if the tank is leaking it is empty, I bought a 76 clipper as a fire job. from a tank leak.

I have the floor plans

[morse-johnson]

Just about any day and time should be ok.  Preferably not before 11am.  Just let me know.

It's floor plan "821 FCIT" with the rear kitchen.

Is this still for sale?

I had planned on driving down and looking at it, but bought 2 boats.

[morse-johnson]

Yes, it's still here.  I haven't really been pursuing listing it; busy with other things.  You're welcome to come by and see it any time.  Just let me know.

[morse-johnson]

This motorhome was just recently smog checked and re-registered for 2020, so if it sells before around 8/20/2020, it would be within the 90 day period where no additional smog check would be needed.

The carburetor was cleaned and adjusted as part of the smog check.

Morse Johnson is this still available

[morse-johnson]

Yes, it's still available.  If you would like to come see it, let me know when would be best for you.  I haven't started it in a while, so I'll have to make sure the gas is still good, etc.  You can contact me via email at raj@peacock.place.
