Roof raised and ready for adventures!

---The normal stuff---
-126k miles
-8023 hours
-4 wheel disc brakes (no special license needed to drive)
-7.3L turbo diesel T444E
-Automatic transmission
-3 heaters-2 up front and 1 in the rear
-Runs and drives great
-minor oil pan gasket leak
---The special stuff---
-Roof raised 18” so that anyone over 5’11 doesnt have to duck, Now only 7’6 people will be uncomfortable
-Rear ramp system for easy load in of big things.
-Rear 8’ is garage space. Bring your tools, toys, or gear without having it in the living space. -Can park 2 motorcycles easily.
-Floor insulated with 1” polyiso foam, walls and ceiling insulated with 1’5” of sprayfoam
-Unique dual dinette seating. Both convert to beds with little effort. Wake up and have breakfast without having to take apart your bed if it's just the two of you. Sleeps 4 or more if you’re real friendly.
-Seats around 19 depending on how cozy you want to be. We’ve cruised with 14 comfortably
-Very comfortable air-ride seats for pilot and navigator
-Nice sound system with bluetooth
-Remote entry door. Security without awkward key lock on fender or terrible hasp and padlock.
-Backup and side view cameras
-Comfortable and modern lighting
-Tinted windows for privacy
-Air conditioner for cool sleeping. Works well during the day if parked in shade or all curtains closed but in full sunlight with so many windows it doesn't keep up. Can be run while driving too
-Overhead fans over seating/sleeping areas. Low energy consumption and really all you need to stay comfortable whether parked or rolling.
-3 mode AC power system.Safely switches from Shore power, Generator power, Inverter power (2000w) Always have electricity. Currently 1 house battery but can accomodate many more
-120v outlets all over the place
-Kitchen area
-Huge amount of overhead storage. Bring all your stuff
-Generator area with storage space for extra fuel or gear
-10,000 lb trailer hitch
-Exterior lights swapped to hight visibility LED
-Interior build out designed to be easily added on to with hidden areas easily accesible.
-Painstaking care taken to ensure absolutely no leaks.


I’m a former electrician and have been doing metal fabrication for decades. I pride myself in quality workmanship and thoughtful engineering. No shoddy work here.

I have a ton of pics of the work performed which I can share with interested parties The vehicle is as solid or more so than when it was originally made.

This bus is the cheapest vehicle we have to register and insure (Progressive).

I love making things, this has been a fun project and a blast to drive around, entertain and camp in, but I’m ready for a new project and the bus is ready to make new smiles.
