You are looking at a 1950 Marmon-Herrington Motor Home.  I could not find a VIN number anywhere on the unit so I titled it in South Carolina with the engine number that is clearly visible. This unit is powered by a 671 Detroit Turbo Diesel engine with a Jake-brake.  The engine is mounted in the middle of the bus under the kitchen cabinets.  Marmon-Herrington bullt buses and trolley cars.  I have only found one other Marmon-Herrington motor home on the internet.  This Motor Home does not appear to me like it was a converted bus.  We have had the engine running several times and the engine sounds GREAT.  We have not driven it.  It has 20 inch Dayton rims on one end and Budd wheels on the other end.  The tires are up and holding air but are weather cracked.  I do have several new tires that come with it. It is certainly old school inside and would be a GREAT restoration project.  I got it where it had been stored in a storage facility near Asheville, North Carolina, however, it has a Colorado license plate on the rear. I will almost guarantee you that you will not meet another one in a camp ground.  The body is as straight as an arrow.  The only bent place that I have seen on it anywhere is the bottom half of the front bumper.  Look the pictures over and let me know what I can do to make this very rare Motor Home yours.  Call me, Ron, at 864 313 2908.

I bought the bus in Kansas 35 yrs. ago. I drove it to California and spent a couple of years modifying, painting, upgrading, etc., etc. At the time my kids were very young-6 and 8. 

I spent a fortune on the bus because we all loved it and actually fulltimed in it for 3 yrs. Did homeschooling and travelled all over the USA and CANADA with some even in Mexico. It was wonderful. 

Spent $15,000 on an amazing paint job, then spent $2000 on hand painted murals on each side. Got huge compliments wherever we travelled.

Several years ago we moved to Australia and the plan was to spend 3 or 4 months a year back in the USA travelling. BUT as all plans don’t work out- we just don’t use it as much as we wanted.

The bus is fully furnished with pottery, cooking pots and pans, etc. it’s winterised as we took it skiing a lot, has a 6.5 on an, 100 gal. fresh water, 50 gal.black water and 50 gal. waste.

I will sell it at a sacrifice price of $15,000 to have someone else love it as we did.

It’s located in Mendocino county, California. About 2 hours north of San Francisco near Ukiah.

If interested give me a call to get more info.

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,

• High-end wood cabinets

• Flat screen TV
• Rebuilt Detroit Diesel 8V71 with custom-ordered oversized aluminum radiators with electric fans.

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.
