After owning my 1977 AMGeneral 10240B8 since 1993 (finished converting in 2000) I delivered it to the new owner in Seligman, Arizona this week. After using it for over 22 years, it was a sad. But got $25,000 for it. And in my wildest of dreams did I think I'd be jumping up and down getting $5.44 Diesel would ever occur to me.
Now will go and get my interior car for the KW motorhome which is a '93 Honda Del Sol. Excited about cruising in the truck. Good Luck, TomC

Tom,
Congrats. and for the clarification about toterhome vs super C. Isn't yours considered a Super C?

Yes you're correct-because it is a front engine truck with living behind. But the difference in ease of working on it is night and day-One of the reasons I'm glad the bus is gone.

I thought I saw that bus west of Seligman a few hours ago at the truck stop when I came through Seligman a few hours ago and thought TomC is nuts AZ in July but Seligman temps were not that bad in the 80's

The new owner posted about it or just a photo of it? Don't have (or want) Facebook so I can't look from here.

To each his own but those F/B groups are really civil with good info and are monitored well by the person that started the group and they keep it on track,personal pages can get a little screwy at times with politics
