There is something special about a classic Winnebago. This 1972 Winnebago D18 is not just an RV, it is a time machine that has been brought back to life with updated interior finishes, fresh plumbing, and new grey and fresh water tanks. Under the hood sits a Dodge 318 V8 with automatic transmission and A/C, which means this rig actually drives and not just sits pretty. Whether you want a weekend warrior for desert camping trips out of Havasu or a head-turning show piece at every campground you pull into, this Winnebago delivers character that no modern RV can match. The updated mechanicals mean you get vintage style without vintage headaches. This is for the buyer who appreciates something with a story.
What we love
- Updated interior, plumbing, and water tanks breathe new life into a classic platform
- Dodge 318 V8 is a proven, parts-available engine that runs strong
- The kind of rig that starts conversations at every campground and gas station
- A/C and automatic transmission make it genuinely road-trip ready
What to know
- This is a 1972 vehicle; maintenance expectations should match a 50+ year old chassis
- Fuel economy will be what you would expect from a vintage V8 motorhome
- Not a modern luxury coach; this is a character purchase for someone who gets it
At $28,995, this restored 1972 Winnebago is a piece of RV history you can actually use. Estimated payments around $197/mo with 30% down. Want to see it in person? Call The Boat Brokers at (928) 453-8833.

We’ve sold 20,000+ units since 1986. We know what a good deal looks like. More importantly, we know what a “good deal” looks like three months later — usually it has a wet carpet, a lien no one mentioned, and a trailer that failed inspection on the highway.
You can find it cheaper. Someone always lists something cheaper. But cheaper assumes the title’s clean, the engine checks out, the trailer’s road-legal, the paperwork makes sense across state lines, and someone answers their phone after the transaction. We don’t make those assumptions. We verify them.
Gas isn’t getting cheaper. The season doesn’t wait while you look for a better deal. We hear it every spring: someone who looked last fall, decided to keep looking, and spent another summer on the dock watching other people’s boats go by.
Get the toy now. Use it now. Two years from now you could be in the water or you could still be looking. Gotta pay to play — and Havasu people know which side of that equation they want to be on.
The desert roads don’t get any less crowded. Every season you wait is a trip you didn’t take. — One price. One handoff. Ready to go.

Most buyers who spend real time on a listing page already know whether this is worth their time. The specs check out or they don't. The price makes sense or it doesn't. The story feels right or it doesn't.
The question that usually moves people from "maybe" to "yes" is one you can only get from a real conversation:
"Has anyone else been seriously looking at this recently?"
Call (928) 453-8833 and ask that directly. We'll tell you exactly where things stand — and if it makes sense, we'll get you set up to walk through it.
What Our Customers Say
Bought a pre-owned pontoon from the team at The Boat Broker. Deal agreed same day, no games on price. Their shop did a full inspection and detail before I picked it up — everything was exactly as described. Have bought three boats in my life and this was the easiest by far.
We drove from Phoenix after seeing the listing online. They went through the full inspection, handled the title and registration, and had everything squared away before we made the trip back to pick it up. The boat was in perfect shape — exactly what was in the listing, no surprises. Staff was patient and never pushed us.
Called on a Thursday, came in Friday, and agreed on a price for a Mastercraft on Saturday. Their shop spent the following week doing a complete inspection and detail before we took delivery. Honest brokers, clean paperwork, and the boat was in perfect condition when we picked it up. Highly recommend for anyone shopping in the Havasu area.
Most buyers who get this far end up owning the unit.
Not because they were pushed into it. Because they did exactly what you're doing — and the research did the work.
If something about this Winnebago still feels uncertain, that's the thing to ask — not something to sit on. The buyers who look back with no regrets are the ones who stopped overanalyzing and started asking. On the road this season. The campsite is waiting. The only variable is whether you're in this one or still looking.
At this point in life, the question usually isn't whether — it's which one. And you've already narrowed it down.
