Attention retired truck drivers. Converted 40 ft MCI intercity highway bus with 10 spd Roadranger with overdrive and turbo diesel Detroit series 50 315 HP from a 1995 Freightliner. Drive a real commercial vehicle built to last, with heavy duty truck axles, air brakes, updated power steering , Silverleaf, TPMS, 24.5 wheels and tires. Plenty of weight capacity. Gets 10 to 11 MPG towing a Subaru on flat roads at 55 to 60 MPH.

Has a 6KV Generac propane generator, solar panels, inverter/charger and is fully equipped for many years of comfortable travel. We have owned this bus for over 30 years and it has taken us on many great adventures. This includes all but 3 states including Alaska, and all Canadian provinces but 3, as well as Mexico. No fiberglass except end caps, built of stainless steel and real metal. All traditional motor home amenities and then some. Only selling b/c I have gotten too old (85) to safely drive and maintain it properly. Fully equipped and licensed as a motor home in CA. No issues, except tires are aging. Ready to go.
