Just posted on RV Trader is Mud Dogs Prevost XL project. If you never saw the build documentation on his project you are missing something special. Not quite finished, he got sick and had to give it up. But it is all there, just some final finishing to do. Has a brand new 892 Jasper engine and on and on. Maybe one of you computer hacks can post the link to the build I don't have it. 33K, a fraction of the money invested. Not much impresses me but this one does.
I meant the link to Pat's detailed build file. I can't remember where he had it posted, it was extensive. If it was on BCM maybe Gary H. can dig it up.
OK I found it: prevostlemirage.blogspot.com
You may want to pass along a suggestion to the seller to provide more detail in the RV Trader ad. Between the ad and even going through pages and pages of the blogpost there is zero indication of the current state of the conversion - interior, exterior, mechanical, electrical.
Does it even run? Has it been road tested enough to shake out the engine and various electrical systems.
Clearly, the seller spent a lot of time and money improving nearly all aspects of the bus. Sadly, it will only get pennies on the dollar if it can not be test driven and the interior is more finished that the pictures.
Based on the information linked here, there is a LOT of work still needing to be done and that really limits the number of folks willing to take on something and finishing. Maybe he can contact Yvan who is likely connected to a few serious conversion builders. He could take this over the finish line but not sure if he'd be interested in doing another one for himself and if he did it to finish and sell, he might be just crazy enough. That comment is based on following the amount of time and energy he and his wife put into the last one. It has to be thousands of hours.
Pat did a ton of work on that bus for years ?what he is asking is less than Jasper charged him for the 8v92,the bus needs finishing Pat knows that.Pat has been a friend for years I doubt you get much more from him since it is so documented since the beginning
