Do you have possession of it yet AB? What is your overall plan for it?

I love the look of those busses, if I were in the market for a motor home I would definitely go the conversion route if I could find a good sceniccruiser. They just have character.

Pictures? More info?

I'm not sure what happened but you got me looking at old buses now...

Looking forward to seeing more of your rig, Afterburn.

For those that are interested in these buss conversion RVs check out Prevost and American Eagle. They both build beautiful high quality rigs.

Cheers Richard

you can do that in IrfanView (Windows) or in Preview on the Mac...

we are all frickin' breathless to see this thang...

You should have Paint in your Windows. Paste your pic into the app with Ctrl-V and then use the 'brush' to mark over the license plate. Save and store it in your pictures. I don't drag and drop with Pelican v-Bulletin but that's a possibility.

Maybe someone can explain the D 'n D.

Anytime..

RWebb 09-05-2019 10:28 AM

when are you going on tour?

RWebb 09-05-2019 10:40 AM

what you need is a Transmogrifier

Tim Hancock 09-05-2019 10:48 AM

Are you going to use as is or restore it? Sounds like an interesting project

daepp 09-06-2019 10:34 AM

That's awesome afterburn - really happy for you.

I'd be happier with some pictures!

While a big project, that bus looks really cool.

tevake 09-06-2019 11:43 AM

All right Afterburn,

RestoMod scenic cruiser escapemobil. Sounds great!

There are lots of detailed accounts of complete rebuilds of airstreams on airforums.com
RV systems are pretty generic, same appliances generally

The site is broken down into different subjects. Technical and restoration. Plenty of good info for your interior buildout.

Look for forums on the upper toolbar of airforums.com homepage.

It's going to be fun watching you pull it together.

Cheers Richard

That will be one amazing second home when you are done afterburn, and a fun project in the meantime. Hope you and your family really get to enjoy it.

LWJ 09-06-2019 12:07 PM

The 8V-71 is supposed to be simple and reliable but loud. Economy and power are not bad.

I suspect you have a spicer crash box. Do you know how to double clutch? There is a learning curve on them.

RWebb 09-06-2019 12:12 PM

you want a project??

do this:
https://www.proterra.com/

add a small IC motor to make it a hybrid

or a fuel cell from Ballard power...

and don't fergit the autonomous driving modules

I am not in love with a big old two-stroke..depends on how well it runs out if it stays or not.

But surprisingly reliable and really simple to fix. Do you know if yours has a turbo or just supercharged?

tevake 09-06-2019 01:13 PM

I love this place, no matter what obscure vehicle comes up, someone here know them usually from direct experence. Too good.

Ok we've been picture short here, so in the mean time some other conversion bus fun

This is old Flexible was beautifully done with custom interior and modern running gear.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1567804087.jpg
