This was, and still can be, an amazing boondocking Bus Conversion. But I committed the ultimate RV sin by letting it sit too long.
Tons of upgrades and new parts. I invested over $40,000. The guy I bought it from spent a lot more converting it.
This is a project bus. No, you can’t drive it home without some skilled mechanical efforts.
• 1977 MCI MC-8 professionally converted in Goshen, IN
• Raised Roof (12.5")
• Smooth sides
• Custom paint (still salvageable paint, but needs attention).
• Whole house AIMS POWER pure sine wave inverter/solar charge controller with eight roof-mounted solar panels
connected to four 8D batteries (barely used but now old)
• 10KW diesel generator, low hours, freshly serviced.
• New Airxcel/Coleman two-ton Central air/heat pump. (professionally installed)
• Full kitchen: stainless refrigerator/freezer, electric glass cook top, microwave/convection oven, Corian
countertops. Stainless double sink with a nice faucet.
• Nice aluminum wheels with low-mileage tires that are now old and dry-rotting.
• Marble tile kitchen floors,
• Custom glass tile backsplash
• High-end wood cabinets
• Flat screen TV
• Rebuilt Detroit Diesel 8V71 with custom-ordered oversized aluminum radiators with electric fans.
• Allison automatic transmission-excellent condition.
• 2 new now old (1.27.22) 4D start batteries.
• Professionally plumbed in PEX - new toilet
• New, never-used instant hot water heater
• New air-line drier, all new shocks
• Rebuilt alternator, electric basement lock system.
The bus needs labor inside and out, but not the expensive parts and certainly NOT the big ticket stuff.
Starts easy and drives, but I don’t feel that it’s safe with the new but cracking tires and air leaks.
Bus needs to be jump-started.
The bus is currently located at Fairview Auto Sales in Fairview, Tennessee. Ask for Marcus.
