Pre-Owned
Inventory of Available Custom ARVs
ARV Quality. Pre-Owned Value.
Advanced RV (ARV) motorhomes are designed and built to achieve our clients’ unique travel dreams. The Pre-Owned ARV program allows you to enjoy this same level of quality and service.
Every ARV is created and supported by world-class designers, engineers and craftspeople. The result is a thoughtful, practical and beautiful motorhome.
When a client sells back their ARV motorhome, we inspect it, test it, then upgrade and guarantee it for the next owner, who makes the vehicle their own. The ARV team, who built the vehicle, is able to make any modifications necessary to meet the new owner’s needs. The end result is a pre-owned motorhome with the same customization, quality, and community as a brand-new build.

Atlantis
Take a deep dive with Atlantis to uncharted waters. The designer wanted the same freedoms they had while living full time on a boat for 8 years – to travel anywhere and the ability to remain self-sufficient.
Woods Safari
Inspired by the overlanding trucks you’d see in an African Safari, the original owners took many of the same designs from “Woods” and jumped at the chance to build another once Mercedes Benz released their All-Wheel-Drive Sprinter.
Bam Bam
The name and color of this van might trigger the memory of a white-haired, pre-historic child wielding a club. You could be the Betty and Barney Rubble to your own Bam Bam. Inquire further if you’d like to adopt Bam Bam.
Sade
Pronounced “shaw-day,” this van has everything you need to cruise the country in comfort and convenience. With the sofa bed, bathroom, and kitchen space, you’ll never need to stay anywhere else, unless you want to. Inquire further if you want a van whose name everyone will mispronounce.
G’Day
There’s something indisputably cheery about the greeting “g’day,” and this van embodies that warm welcome. Also, with the seatbelts for the sofa bed, it allows you to bring along additional travelers. So pack in, find a cozy campsite and have a fun-filled barbie.
Van Gogh
Obsession can lead to madness, but it can also produce inimitable art. Where creative abandon and drive meet, there you will find Van Gogh. Whatever your passion may be, Van Gogh is an ideal vessel in which to pursue it. Inquire further if you’re looking to cruise under starry night skies.
Freebird
The pride and joy of Advanced RV President, Mike, and his wife, Marcia. When it comes to traveling, Freebird, which they designed, is their one and only choice. Inquire further if you won’t mind making Mike and Marcia sad.
Zack
We couldn’t think of something clever to paint a picture with the name “Zack,” so we’ll just shoot it to you straight. Zack is the kind of van you want if sharing a bed is something you don’t. Aside from that, it’s got a great personality – the kind of van you bring home to your parents. Inquire further if you’re looking to give Zack a chance.
Lucky 2
Designed by two medical professionals who needed a off-grid escape while working during in the peak of the pandemic.

Woods
Driving through a thick expanse of trees, with the evening sun filtering through the crisscross of leaves, you can’t help but feel a sense of peace and wonder. Whether it’s the redwoods of California or the pine trees of Maine, Woods can be your home on wheels as you stay by secluded lakes and blazed trails, enjoying the serenity only a forest can provide.
Robert
2021 four-wheel-drive 144″ with a platform bed and half-height shower stall which converts to counter space. Arriving to ARV Spring 2025, feel free to call for more details until then.
FAQ’s
There are many shapes and sizes of motorhomes. How do I know a Class B is the best fit for me?
The class B motorhome is the most convenient size for traveling. From city driving to off road travel, class B motorhomes are easy to maneuver as they mirror the lengths and widths of a large SUV or pickup truck. Their smaller size opens up more options for overnight stays as they can be parked virtually anywhere and not been recognized as an RV. In our opinion, class B motorhomes are the most convenient for travel and the most comfortable eating and sleeping. When it comes to gas mileage, class B can be multiples of the larger motorhomes. Class A and Class C motorhomes are larger with more floor space, but this additional floor space makes them far more difficult to park – often requiring the need to tow a vehicle for local travel. When it comes to number of people, class B motorhomes can comfortably accommodate two for travel and sleep while class A and C motorhomes are typically designed to house more travelers.
Why ARV?
If you want a completely custom, hand crafted class B motor home, ARV will accommodate your needs. Each client creates every aspect of their design to match their travel needs. If you can find a “factory built” class B motor home that meets your design needs and quality standards, you should purchase it.
How much does it cost? How long does it take to build?
Advanced-RV motor homes will typically cost about two times the cost of a “factory built model”. If you don’t need the quality, capabilities, and customization of an ARV, we suggest on the following higher volume produced manufacturers of Class B motor homes: (Link to Roadtrek, Winnebago, Airstream, Midwest, etc.)
Where would I find a dealer that sells Advanced RV motorhomes?
We don’t use dealers. We design our motor homes with each client and we manage every detail of their ARV service. Based on our close client contact and total customization, there isn’t much value a dealer can offer our clients. We do not do paid advertising or pay to attend shows. We do a relatively small number of builds per year and we don’t want to have to add advertising costs to the cost of our clients’ motorhomes.
How will I design my ARV?
Clients visit our facility and join in a fun but significant process of sharing the details of their motorhome vision. Our designers and engineers facilitate the process supported by the many build examples on our production floor.
How customized can I make my ARV?
The only limits are ‘Does it fit?’ and ‘Can you afford it?’ Custom means custom.
There is no menu of items for you to choose from when designing your custom motorhome. Our designers have created an outline that guides the design process but every client design conversation is as unique as their resulting motorhome. The only limitations on the design are “will it fit into the chassis (weight and volume” and “is it legal by MB upfit and DOT standards”
I’ve decided I’m interested, what should my next step be?
We enjoy our email and phone conversations with potential clients. Ask as many questions as possible. We encourage you to visit us, tour our factory, and share your vision in person. If you are sure you want an advanced RV motorhome, please ask for deposit information. Your initial deposit will enable us to order your custom chassis (with your input) and firm your place in the production queue.
What kind of support and service can I expect when I drive away?
We answer our phones in person during business hours. We also have a service phone answered 24/7 by one of our technical staff. We do everything we can to answer your service questions, troubleshoot your issue, and find the nearest, best resource to do your repair, if a repair is warranted.
What should I name my van?
The names are only limited by your imaginations. Some examples of past names: NUANNAARPOQ, WAHROONGA, Glamazon, Goose, Nut Nut, Eowyn, Pebbles and Bam Bam
