UPDATE: Benny has been sold to a great family! Thanks for all the interest!
Yes, it’s that time. Time to say goodbye to our beloved Benny the Brave.
We love him and although it’s hard to let go of our first Big Dream-Maker, we’re ready to upgrade. We’ve decided to travel long-term, still in search of a new place to land, but with the idea of making our new rig our long-term home, even once we’re settled.
Benny is an amazing RV, perfect for small families, part-timers, full-timers or weekenders!
But the most amazing part:
Benny runs on both regular diesel AND waste veggie oil, found for free from restaurants and kitchens around the nation. Don’t know what that’s awesome? We traveled almost 9k miles on about $200 for fuel and fuel-related expenses! Don’t know anything about veggie conversions? We’ll walk you through it.

How much are you asking?
yeah that would have been good to add huh? i just edited to add the sale price.
we’re asking $8,000.
Will a mattress fit in the cabover space for extra bunking area?
no it wouldn’t. you could take the storage down and probably find the bed frame it once had (long before we got him). they said it raised up and down.
oh man, i wish i could buy him! due to a recent family tragedy, i have to stay at home base for a while longer. i will day dream about benny forever though. i hope you find him an amazing family!
Benny is awesome, Tara! I know you guys will find him a good home.
