    Hi Freds
    For me the interior is the key
    That s Rosewood though out
    All the cabinets are solid best wood quality
    The Coach had probably a high mileage in Texas
    The guy who build it to his specifications had its own ideas
    As I said he had the biggest wood chain company on Vancouver Island
    He did not cut corners
    The mileage after the new build is correct
    This is a piece of Art
    Not for everybody but I would not touch an original interior from the mid 90
    The guy died with 70
    Way to young
    Everything well done but still too long sitting around and after his death nobody did care about it
    It need now labor of love and knowledge
    I can only provide one part but I am not prepared to pay 150 $ an hour to bring it up to snuff
    I have to start to become creative
    Cheers Detlef

    If i had a significant other and fond of and had a choice of beds a queen would be my last choice. Its either a king matress for 2 or twins. I can not share a queen size bed comfortably with someone and always wondered about the abundence of them in campers. Very nice bus. Lots of awning windows thats rare and the extra upper front marker lights r a nice touch. Good luck.

    U say he converted the engine but its a 96 so it came with a 60 series can u expound on that??? It was blown up or he turned it up or what happened there?

    Hi Joe
    the original engine did not have enough power for the builder
    he upgraded it with the more powerful engine
    completely fine with me
    no lack of power in any situation now
    and the engine break sound really good and healthy
    all good from that end
    transmission redone as well
    front brakes converted to discs
    the tires look like new
    but 16 years old
    I will replace them
    costs are 7800 $ can $
    and it has automatic slack adjusters too
    as I know they came after 1996
    Cheers Detlef
