Well after hrs and hrs of reading, talking on the phone with people, etc..

I am getting this..



1983 MCI MC-9 and yes it has been already converted to an RV

 

Ken, that rig doesn't have much road clearance, or does it have an adjustable air suspension system?

what will it cost to insure?

 

It is sitting with all the air out of the suspension, it lifts up about 12 to 18" when driving

Ins was 400 for a year.

 

good deal, that's much lower than I pay for my W250...and that bus could do a lot more damage than my truck can!

have you made sure that roof is watertight? that would be a bummer, and possibly hard to correct

 

Let's see the inside!

 

Dude,will the HOA allow you to park that in front of the house?? Is that an old Greyhound bus? If it is their should be maintenance records on it. I will have to come by and check it out! I need to get my Diesel Power mag back from you.

 

I thought about those real hard.I was looking at 4106's,4104's,8's and 9's.BUT,I wound up with a 30 ft. because with the shorter wheel base I am able to go where those just don't fit.Do you have basement air?Pics,pics pics of the inside and systems.

 

If you don't mind, what did you pay for it? Is this the one with the detroit you were talking about? Looks like fun- lots of room inside too

 

Ken,was that bus sitting on Tryon road and the corner of...dang!!! I forgot the name of the road? Any way that rig sat there for a long time.

 

it will be parked next to my garage

 

If you want to know the price send me a PM and I will tell ya..

yes this is the one I was talking about with the detroit

 

yup that is where it was..

and yes it sat for a while.. I will be going thru everything before any major road trips.. I already put new tires on it

 

had to build a parking area




and I drove it home today and got it into its new parking space in 1 try that was some luck..






and with dodge in front of it for good measure..


oh and my shop does look very small now

I will take some inside pics later on.. and yes there is work to be done to it..

 

here are some interior pics



ripped up tile floor due to it being soft and found bad wood so replaced it and I am now laying new tile

 

That's pretty decent inside even WITH the soft floor!

My semi-tractor was cheaper to insure than my 93 one ton too. I guess they don't think big vehicles are as susceptible to accidents!

Do those generally have wood floors or was that added when it was converted to an RV?

Thanks for posting more pics and congrats on what looks like a good deal!
