Looking at something else, but again not local.

Intercompany transfer to a completely different job. Looking to buy a house and have some good properties on the list. Offer letter states $10k paid after move that is pro-rated to pay back if job does not workout. They do not care if it costs less or more than the $10k or how you use the money. Their do research to come up with the number. Bus sold on Saturday for $8k.

Here are some pictures seller sent me of the hitch. I reduced them in size for the forum as they are around 1Mb

I am also a tinkerer and have no problem spending another $5k to fix it up and make it safe first and then better. Will be using it a couple times a year but will be starting and moving it around on a monthly bases. Moving to AL for business and the company is giving me a lump sum for moving. I do not have any expensive furniture so it is cheaper to buy what a need in AL for the home. But I have a large tool box I want to keep as it would cost more to sell it and then replace and I track cars so I started to think get a truck and trailer with the money and have it permanently for the future. so I looked at getting a pick-up and trailer, then looked at the price of 18-wheeler and saw there was more truck for the money and they allowed me to sleep in them at the track and the further I looked the more options popped up. Toterhomes (more expensive then I though they would be), to buses.

Seller told me the trailer hitch has a 2 inch square receiver tube that appears to be welded to the frame. Yes it is old, but with the generator, inverter, water tanks, and the cabinets look nice for $10k might be worth it. But again you get what you pay for, but sometimes you can luck out.

Done electrical work (both home and on cars) and designed electronic circuits so have no problem there. Nor doing any mechanic work (work on all my cars myself) just not on this size. Bus has a hitch that I need has I am going to tow an enclosed vehicle trailer, so not sure about the 8v71 and 4-speed and easy of driving it. Does the bus have an engine brake?

There is a 71 MCI MC-7 bus up for sale and it looks pretty good from the pictures except for wires running the roof. I emailed the owner and he is checking some things for me. It is cheap. PM me and I will send the list url unless I can post it. Craigslist ad and the ebay ad. Cheers Rob
