Vehicle description
This listing is for two complete Travco 270 Motorhomes, 1969 and 1974
Here is the description of the 1969 Travco as it was in the eBay listing when I bought it:
This is a complete motorhome and was put in storage 2006 and is now being sold for restoration. Both Air Conditioning units are working, the Fridge is working on 120 AC or LP gas, the gas stove is working, the water system 12 volt pump and water heater are working with no leaks under pressure. The 12 volt interior lighting system is working. The engine is running great after the carburetor was rebuilt and new plugs installed and a oil change. Instrument panel and gauges have been restored. The exterior fiberglass is in good shape but needs painting. One side window is cracked and the windshield has some cloudiness in the outer areas. Wipers work, power steering works. Tires are good.
The braking system needs repair, all brake lines have been replaced. New power assist master cylinder is included. The wheel brake cylinders need rebuilding, old power assist rear brake system needs repair.
All the carpets and seat upholstery cushions were machine cleaned with Oxi, dried and treated with scotchguard. Generator is original Onan but tired.
28 feet long 8 feet wide 10 feet 8 inch"s high. .can be reduced 16 inch"s by removing 2 air conditioners. Weight 13,100 pounds ( probably not correct ) Drives but no brakes, little braking on hand brake.
The unit can be moved by wrecker or trailer.

Current owner had this one transported to Florida from Virginia on a flatbed trailer. It has a 318 engine which starts instantly and sounds and runs great. Gas currently supplied from a plastic boat motor tank. It must be assumed that the original gas tank will need cleaning. I have driven it slowly and cautiously on the farm due to having only the parking brake functioning. It is, at the time of this writing, in the shop to have the braking system restored. The interior layout is nice although the upholstery fabric is dated and shows its age. Split rims, I am less impressed with the tires than the previous owner.
Second Complete Travco Motorhome 1974 Dodge Travco Mahal 2 + 2 Motorhome, fiberglass over steel. Handyman special, refurbished over 20 years ago, has been left out in the Florida elements since then, causing damage to interior. There had been a leak at the center seam just in front of the roof A/C. The damage is in front of the door and behind the driver and passenger seats. I believe it has the Dodge 440 engine. I have not attempted to start the engine nor turn it over. This one does not have the split rims. Great opportunity for Travco lover, needs some ceiling paneling and insulation replaced and lots of TLC. Great potential still in this classic motorhome! Much of the woodwork is in very good condition. The front couch is trash as is the ceiling between door and front seats. A/C, refrigerator; stove and oven, microwave, awning plus more were added new over 20 years ago and only used 4 or 5 times. Motor has not been started in over 10 years. It does have a generator which has not been run in many years. It would need to be towed to a destination. To be towed on the rear wheels it would need better tires on the rear. A better way to transport would be a flatbed trailer. The driveshaft has been removed to facilitate towing. I do not have the keys but I do have the title.
FYI I have always admired the Travco Motorhomes. I am currently preoccupied with a building project and upcoming gigs with the Swing Band that I am fortunate to get to play with. I am afraid I won"t give these classics the attention they deserve.
