I Bought a Used Bus. Now What?

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

The article details the author's experiences with their 1982 MCI MC-9 Custom Coach Corporation (CCC) bus, which they have owned for about a year and a half. Originally a show coach, the bus has aged well, but its maintenance history is patchy. After several ownership changes, it suffered from various issues, including a damaged engine, outdated tires, and neglected systems.

The author has been working on repairs, including replacing belts, addressing coolant leaks, and fixing the generator, but has faced financial and technical challenges due to his lack of his bus mechanical background.

Despite these hurdles, the author remains committed to restoring the bus, finding it a rewarding but somewhat costly endeavor due to previous owners' lack of use and maintenance. They also reflect on the broader RV and bus conversion community and express gratitude for the support and resources available.
