GarageScout Take
Balboa camper conversion completed by Jensen Marine Corporation’s RV division in Costa Mesa in March 1973, with the living quarters refurbished by Freedom Vessel in 2020. Current ownership added approximately 4,500 miles, reupholstered the front bucket seats in 2026, overhauled the brakes and lights, and repaired the muffler. Rust is present in exterior cab areas, some floor sections, and under the hood.
