Re: Up for trade - 60 ft New Flyer and a BookMobile
i have a pair of geni's for the bus. When i go to burningman, which is a big party in the desert, i make sure to have both geni's just in case something goes wrong with one.
i have a brand new honda eu2000i and a cheap coleman 6,500 watt geni that does 110/220 volts. That honda averages 15 hours per gallon of fuel and is ultra quiet.
bus is a 1990 international/thomas with dt360 turbo diesel, at545 allison trans, i forget exact mileage but i think it's about 205,000. it had 180,000 when i purchased it. Besides the alternator i havne't had any mechanical problems that i can remember.
you probably wouln't be interested in the bus as a camper. I'm sure there are other buses closer to La. the biggest drawback to using the jacuzzi bus as a camper is that my fancy sunroof over the jacuzzi isn't wheatherproof. Not a big deal if it rains and water gets into your jacuzzi, way uncool however if rain gets on your camping/living stuff you piled on top of the jacuzzi cover. With a little work and a little $$, i'm sure the roof could be made weather tight.
the bus is 37 feet long from bumper to bumper. I don't know how long it is inside, but about 30 feet of interior space. I do have a removable back porch that adds 5 feet to the bus that i use to carry my 800 pound yamaha v-max motorcycle.
i did just build a different jacuzzi bus for a guy designed for 6 people to live in full time.
what would it take to create living quarters in my current bus? I guess that depends what your needs are. A sink, shower and a potty would be a welcome addition.
i designed the bus as a party bus. one of the features is that nearly everything except the jacuzzi can be removed to allow the bus to have a good interior cleaning. Every year when i get back from the desert, i spend a couple days removing everything, spraying the inside of hte bus down with a garden hose, then putting everything back in place. One thing that drives me mental is having a bus that can't be cleaned!
The bus currently has a great couch to sleep on, and can accomidate sleeping for 6. It also has 12 foot of convertable roof over the jacuzzi.
There is a 2000W inverter with a pair of golf cart deep cycle batteries, toaster, microwave, coffee pot, electric griddle, 12 volt electric cooler, 110 gallon heated veggie tanks, within the past year i've purchased: new 190 amp leece neville alternator, new engine belts, new 8D starting battery, and new steer tires.
the bus is a proven chick magnet....actually, it's a people magnet. everywhere the bus goes it's the talk of the town.
if i had the proper motivation, i could remove the jacuzzi and build whatever you want inside the bus
tell me more about that 60 footer...enigne, trans, mileage, any known problems,
