1986 Ford Econoline E350 Fleetwood Jamboree

Description

The third generation Econoline was introduced for the 1975 model year on an all-new chassis, quickly becoming popular not only as a cargo van, but as a basis for a range of larger vehicles from second-stage manufacturers. One common application of the Econoline chassis was recreational vehicles, which included creations by builders such as Fleetwood Enterprises in Riverside, California. Fleetwood’s mid-size “Class C” Jamboree was available in various lengths and floorplans, offering accommodations for six, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Today, the Jamboree still offers an ideal entry point into RV ownership for a small family looking to embark on their next adventure.
