AprilWhine Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Although we would prefer to trade, bus is also offered for sale for $110k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AprilWhine Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks! We're not in a hurry and it seemed to me that the right trade could be a win-win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 That bus is very nicely done inside - kind of timeless in it's decor. Is that original or did you re-do it? Very very nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very nice!! Thank you! Â We replaced the original aqua blue living room set with the chocolate power recliner sofa and storage ottoman. We also replaced the dinette chairs with a flex steel booth seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJW Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Looked at both adds, neither gives the mileage on the unit? Are you the original owners? Â Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilWhine Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for asking. Mileage is currently around 250,000. We purchased the bus in 2010 with around 220,000 on it. We have had no problems and are current on maintenance. Â We are the third owners. First owner was a successful lawyer in Quebec. He owned the bus until 2009, when he traded it in on a new Marathon coach. Marathon upgraded and sold the unit. Second owner bought the bus and used it to travel between ski resorts while launching their ski wear company.The sold it in early 2010. Hubby and I bought the coach from Mr Oliver in Princeton TX in October 2010. Â All pictures above and in my ad were taken in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 What engine is in there? A Series 60 Detroit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilWhine Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 What engine is in there? A Series 60 Detroit? Â Yes, it's a Series 60. We get 8 mpg overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Â Yes, it's a Series 60. We get 8 mpg overall. That is an excellent engine and very good mpg. Â There should be absolutely no issue - none at all - with that engine going over 500K miles in RV service. I believe that the B50 on that engine in RV service is 750K miles. It is 850K in line-haul service. So for anyone buying it for RV use - this is a lifetime engine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneDocks Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Zoomed in on one pic to see that it was built out by Angola. I didn't see that otherwise in your info. Might want to add that if it isn't noted somewhere. Good luck with your sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
