Nice, nice, nice. 135k miles. Perfect skoolie, stealth camper, cargo van, toy hauler rv. Fly in and drive anywhere.
NICE NICE NICE ! ! ! ! ! !
Nice low miles, 8 window, wheelchair lift equipped bus. Retired as part of normal fleet renewal, and was in service up to that time. Based on the 48 passenger Vision chassis, but set up for handicapped operations. Will NOT seat 48 as configured. Great bus for an RV conversion, church / daycare bus, toy hauler, stealth camper alternative etc. Should have no problem getting to Alaska or to Central America. You could spend $9900 at a dealer, and still not find a better bus than this one. Why travel and liveaboard in a cramped cargo van, or old pos RV? This type of bus is a great alternative. .big enough to carry everything you need, but much more maneuverable than a full sized bus. Yes. .even Mom or the GF can drive it, without white knuckles.
Has:
- 7.2 liter Cat C7 diesel. - Engine is very quiet and smooth with no tics, slaps, knocks. - Allison 5 speed automatic transmission. - All the fluids are very clean. - Good oil pressure. - Temp stays in middle of range. - Less than 140k miles, so has a lot of life left. - Tracks nice and straight, no uneven tire wear. - Virtually ZERO blowby. - ZERO smoke. - Optional 77 inch. .high ceiling model. - Strong batteries and charging system. - Compact fridge. - New Portapotti. - 230 watt Sharp solar panel. - 1500 watt, 12 volt to 110 inverter. - 60 gallon fuel tank - Great engine compartment access, and much easier to work on compared to a van style bus - The ISD used all synthetic oils - Starts right up and drives fine - Very smooth at 55 mph on the highway - Air brakes - Dual AC systems, but only the rear blows cold right now. Will be working on the front. - Hydraulic wheel chair lift works well. Great for ATV, bikes and anything else too heavy or bulky for the other doors. - 28.5 feet long, bumper to bumper - Driver air seat smooths the ride very well. - Most all the lights work, and all the lenses are intact. - All the glass is perfect. - Body is almost perfect. - The sheet metal paint is ok except for clear coat peeling. - No rust of any consequence - Seats are pretty nice with only a few loose seams. - Floor is solid and looks barely walked on. The rear floor has some wheelchair scrapes. - The passenger side seats have belts AND integral, fold down child safety seats - Rear tires are decent, the fronts are better. - Does not have the post 2006, nightmare emission controls.
Only real negatives it has:
- Front fenders and hood have peeling paint and a chunk missing. Will probably fix before auction end. - Dent on DS rear corner. Should pound out ok, and with some bondo, be barely visible. - AC not very cold, but I do have it cooling a little now. After sitting, they often need recharge. - The battery tray rollers are missing, but I will replace. - The bus has a little electrical gremlin in the dash gauges sweeping. Think I have it sorted. Does not affect starting or drivability. - Inspection is expired, but it should pass with no problems. Bring some insurance, and I"ll provide a temporary permit so you can drive it home legally. I will deliver to the MX border or anywhere within reason. .if needed.
These are actually very solid engines, but have gotten a bad rap because of the complicated fuel injection system and parts prices. They are extremely sensitive to fuel contamination and poor oil change practices. Chances are that this injection system has been replaced at some point in the past few years.
Hablo Espanol. Clean, blue Texas title in my name. .in hand.
Returning to Galveston early June. Bid with confidence. .if you win the bidding and don"t like the bus, I will refund your money.
