We are selling are much loved 2002 Ford F350 crew cab long bed and Grandby camper.
This truck has been a great vehicle but it was time for us to upgrade. We are the second owners of this truck and its first life began with my neighbors using it a couple times of year for road trips to the coast with their camper. I got the truck at 40,000 miles and have taken it to 156,000.
I built this truck out for us to take family camping trips to pretty remote areas; as such, I have done a lot of upgrades. The most important upgrade I didn’t do, is mess with the engine or exhaust. I have never chipped or otherwise put any sort of tune or performance upgrade. This truck has plenty of power and reliability without messing with the engine. I did do some longevity upgrades as listed below.

I bought the Granby camper after selling our Syncro because we needed more space for our family. It was originally a 1979 that I completely gutted and rebuilt twice. The first rebuild was putting in all new systems and interior and reframing the floor to fit in a newer truck bed. The second rebuild was last year when we completely resided the exterior, and did other upgrades as listed below.

This truck and camper combination is ready as it sits to take you anywhere in North or South America. This truck is almost 20 years old and barely broken in, however as with any older truck there are idiosyncrasies, and little things that can be finicky. I would not hesitate to take this truck on a trip, but before you do, I will completely go over all the upgrades and familiarize you with it.

Sold as a package at $30,000 OBO willing to separate

Deficiencies/Idiosycracies:
  • The relays used for the high output headlight harness work but if they need to be replaced they are expensive Honda relays
  • There’s a bunch of miscellaneous wiring from the original camper my neighbors used under the dash. Some of this wiring is for a camera that was linked to a separate monitor in the cab.All of the wiring could be easily disconnected, but I kept it to help confuse any would be thieves trying to figure out the Ravelco
  • I’m happy to go over all the wiring with the new owner.
  • No center seat; I built a custom console and the seat got damaged by rodents in storage.
  • A few dents and miscellaneous scratches on the truck
  • The tough country bumper had some rust spots that I ground out and treated with rust converter, They were all Surface.
  • When I took the truck in to get the bed line-X’ed the company that did the work actually put Linux over the camper package in the bed of the truck; basically the front bumper pads and the four camper centering angles are Line-Xed in place. Additionally, there are a couple areas where the line X has bubbled, this is covered under warranty and they can re-spray the truck at no charge. If the camper package was removed in advance then the truck bed could be re sprayed under warranty. The camper package really helps to secure the camper and I have never had an issue hauling materials with it in as you can still carry 4 foot wide sheets of material.
  • I have not hooked up the wiring from the heated mirrors to the switch in the center console yet.
  • There's a small tear in the front driver seat approximately an inch and a half to 2 inches long. That is the only tear
  • The support board on the camper on the overhang has water damage in the corner and should be replaced.It is sturdy now but is an an easy replacement.
  • The roof on the camper, as with most of these campers, has some hail damage and is a little bit dinged up.
  • The front camper roof lift support has some water damage. I'm pretty sure I have another lift panel.

Beautiful truck!

I’m guessing northern front range of Colorado (license plate and Lucky’s Diesel)!

Lucky’s is a great shop for anyone interested...only people who touch my Ford!

Thanks I'm really reluctant to sell it but I got a new truck and we are restoring another Grandby camper. Yep I'm in Boulder, and Luckys diesel is awesome I would literally not have anyone else touch my truck.

May I ask - did you move to a newer F350? That’s a great truck. Wish I had the raveloco in my mint 2003 F250 CCLB. Looking for a replacement.
