We are selling our fantastic Serendipity because we’re soon retiring to Portugal and she just can’t swim across the Atlantic with us.
We’ve lived in our bus for the past 3 years, working and volunteering in various state parks and campgrounds in the eastern U.S. We love this bus and can’t quite believe it’s time for a new era in our lives. We bought her partially/mostly converted from a couple in North Carolina. The bus originally came from Georgia. We’ve made several changes/renovations to her and have been quite pleased with the results, including bedroom reconfiguration, skylights, shower area, painting the entire outside, and A/C/heating unit installation. The bus has run well every time we’ve driven her, approximately 6,000 miles total in 4 years. Several diesel mechanics who have checked the bus for us over the years have declared it to be very, very clean, and able to run for thousands and thousands more miles. Currently registered as a motorhome in Wisconsin, located in Mount Pleasant (near Charleston), South Carolina.
