Congratulations to you Clifford and Sonja, the interior is absolutely stunning! Time for all of us to hit the road and drink that good wine!  ;) :)

P.S. Thank you for the beautiful rebuild on my engine.

I am sorry to see you went over to the Dark Side Cliff.  But we will still pretend to like you anyway.  Better bring it to the Dam Rally the week after next so we can all sign our name on the side with permanent markers.  ;D

Nice, but it probably needs a claw foot tub and an Eagle emblem on the front.  :D

I'm sure it's great, Clifford, but people won't be asking for your autograph at rock concerts anymore.

Cliff had to buy something he didn't know how to work on so he could retire.

Looks great. I had no idea the WINNEBAGO acquired COUNTRY COACH.
Title: Re: Not a bus but a very good ride
Post by: luvrbus on October 14, 2019, 06:35:28 AM
It is a long way from a WB   with 54,000 GVW
Title: Re: Not a bus but a very good ride
Post by: CrabbyMilton on October 14, 2019, 06:41:38 AM
Oh I understand that but I just didn't know about they were acquired. Frankly, I thought COUNRY COACH went out of business in the early '00's.

Looks like a very comfortable ride for your upcoming travels. Sure hoping that 600hp is enough.  ;)

Your army trailer would look great behind this Cliff.   ;D

Is this a used Country Coach?  From my limited research it appears that Winnebago is no longer making RVs under the Country Coach name although they still support old Country Coach units.  It appears what they really wanted was the Country Coach plant.

If you want Cliff,  I can get you one of these to put on the front of your bus so it will ride like a real bus so you can run with the Big Dogs.   :D

No, Cliff bought something he doesn't have to work on all the time so he'll have more time to work on our 2 strokes.  8)

He could claim it was a highly modified Model 01 with one of those on the front. Highly modified.  :o

Must be a misprint. Didn't you mean "run with the Big Birds"?
