Best Laid Plans, Or, 2008 Roadtrek Agile For Sale

We were feeling pretty confident about our plans for shipping our Roadtrek Agile to Europe in May and enjoying it there for the summer; and beyond. So confident, we decided to go ahead and make arrangements for shipping, insurance, etc. Then we learned that the major underwriter of insurance for American RVs there had suddenly dropped out of the market; and the best substitute we could find was a completely-out-of-the-question $300 per week for comprehensive. We were not willing to keep the Roadtrek over there with liability insurance only--it's too nice--and have reluctantly decided to sell it. You can find it on RV Trader or Craigslist/San Francisco. Or read the narrative and view the pix below...

"2008 Roadtrek SS Agile. This Agile is on the Freightliner Sprinter 144 inch van chassis with the new body style available first in 2008. Gorgeous silver paint with dark gray contrast. The Sprinter has a Mercedes Benz V6 diesel engine that gets 18 to 22 mpg. Exterior length of 19ft. 6in. is easy to maneuver anywhere  and parks in any standard parking space! Drives small but lives large. This Roadtrek seats five and sleeps two on the power adjustable sofa that makes into a king size bed. The entertainment center has a 19" flat screen TV, viewable from swiveling front seats or sofa, and a DVD player complemented by a surround sound system. The galley has granite counter top,  cherry cabinets, two burner glass-topped, recessed stove, stainless sink, convection microwave, 12 cup coffee maker (no carafe), and 3-way fridge with freezer compartment (uses battery, gas, or shore power). Thermostat controlled propane furnace and optional 11,000 BTU roof top air conditioner with heat strip saves on propane when on shore power. The bathroom is equipped with toilet, sink and permanent shower. The Onan generator with only 27 hours lets you dry camp in National Forests and Parks or even Walmart! Nice exterior awning and shower for camp-outs! Extremely well maintained with oil changes every 6,000 miles (MB recommends 10,000). Next oil change not due for 9,000 miles! Newer AT tires on rear have only 8,000 miles. Brakes still at 2/3. Coach batteries 1 year old. Agiles are rare because they do everything well. Selling for $59,500 --$1,700 below book value and this is no average condition vehicle. 650-862-4055."

It would have been our dream motorhome over there...
