Big Mac up for sale

Hey everyone!

Just to let you know, my first build, Big Mac is now up for sale. It's in the short buses category, you can read the thread there. Probably well buried by now. She needs two batteries and new tires. She has working A/C and working shore power A/C. Everything is included, frig., microwave, stove, shower, bed, sink, you name it, it's probably there and included. She's diesel powered with a 545 tranny and hydro brakes (not air). I have well over $5K in her, but will take $1K. She already has a storage spot if you want to keep her there. Rent is about $65/month.

PM me if you're interested. We're going full-time in Heavy Fuel, and need the cash to help recover from Hurricane Harvey.

Thanks all!

M

UPDATE:

Wife and I have decided to GIVE AWAY Big Mac this summer! We're planning a road trip to Houston to finish up some loose ends, and Big Mac is one of them. Mac is in a storage yard in Patterson, Texas. Rent is $100/month if you want to keep Mac there and continue the build. PM me if you're interested. I have the clean title ready to sign over.

Hey Desiree;

Sorry about not keying in the accents on your name with my sausages-for-fingers....

Big Mac has it's own thread on site with pics of what I have done so far. Mac is located in Paterson, Texas at a storage lot there. My wife and I are planning a road trip to the Houston area this summer. I can PM you my contact info (I did give it to Matt earlier) if you would like more info on Mac. My wife and I have a few things we need to get from Mac, but nothing relating to the build, just a few camping gear items we accidentally forgot when we moved to Kansas.

I'll post the link to the build in my next post on this thread.

Ok, here's the link. Starting on page ten where the links are not broken AND the most recent work happened (she's been cleaned up quite a bit since then as well).

http://www.skoolie.net/forums/f27/bi...a-5369-10.html

Page 11 has good pics too.

I can not locate the pics. The thread brings me to the random albums. Although I keep refreshing I can only get to a new set of pictures.

I will go on the site instead of using Tapatalk-

If roof raise and loft are your plan you may want one already empty.

This is towards the end of construction. However, the oven/stove is not hooked up, the shower is not hooked up either. There is plenty of space below the floors to install and hook up whatever capacity water/propane set-ups you want. The hard parts are done. Hope this helps.
