1996 Thomas International Pug Nose

Héctor the Bus

48,000 original miles on this diesel motor.
98% converted. Always a few items to be done or decided on.
Fully off grid with 24kw of LiFePo4 batteries.
Over 1600w of solar
Too many extras to list.
Built in the style of repurposed materials but with all the important items being new. Hence the name Hector
This features a queen bed and bunk beds. Sleeps 4-6 if you convert dinette to sleeper.
Located in Utah, but I can deliver anywhere if needed.
I am not a business, this was our home on land when we weren’t on our boat. Selling the boat too!

To help you better sell, a sale price is recommended to be posted, also the "Pug nose" is called a "Vista" model.

Sale price is $55,000

Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Asking $55,000 for the bus. Let me know if I’m missing anything else.
