To each their own, but wow, the aerodynamics, the styling..., at least he did not do it to an Eagle.

I don't know what parts you could get off it that would make it worth the hassle of getting rid of rest of the bus. The rust in the engine compartment/engine indicates everything by under the bus is rusted. The interior conversion is one of the worst I've ever seen. Give that thing to a homeless family that is currently living in a car.

Yes, I favor this "conversion", and I use the word very loosley, would be best displayed in a spread in "Bus Stupification Magazine".

I am shocked nobody close to the designer of such said something akin to....." Uh, about your ideas...."

Everyone has different ideas eh and they enjoyed it..... Story's the kids have now to talk about for life!....That's what its all about...

Yes, you're right. If the family enjoyed it, it doesn't matter what it looks like. I guess for the asking price the owner knows what it's worth. I admit I only looked at the pictures before I posted.

maybe it's like a Hi-Lo trailer and the top raises up another story! lvmci...

Interesting. Although the exterior roof line is squared, the interior is curve like a bus. Maybe he just attached a modified shell from trailer or 5th wheel for a design statement or due to some damage that is now underneath. Anyway, it has its own character. Sort of looks like a cross between a bus and an old Winnebago.

Some interesting comments for sure! Rust, I do not see that seeing how the chassis is stainless steel. How is it that not one person noticed that engine is turbo engine? Might be more gold there hiding to be mined! John L

That's why I emailed him

I'll bet I can find more than the asking price in parts alone. Plus, when possible a decent donor is always a good thing to have.

Read the description. The original roof is in tact underneath the....er...modified roof. Someone offer him $4500, pull the inverter, pull the onan, sell some of the other stuff, and scrap the bus and you'll have a free inverter, generator, and maybe some $$ for your trouble.

Dave5Cs · April 24, 2017, 01:09:05 PM

My windows don't leak in a Heavy rain whats up with that?LOL

B_K · April 25, 2017, 10:06:58 AM

Might be a good candidate for Daveola's eng/trans donor! (he shouldn't have any problems convincing the code police or the judge it's a camper not a bus with this one!)

If you don't like it, then keep your fu**ing mouth shut. People build things to their liking. It's none of your goddamn business. I know alot of you people want to sound like know-it-alls, but you're not all right. This is a perfect example of why I don't bother with this site much anymore. PURE IGNORANCE
