Converting a heavy-duty bus/coach/truck into a motorhome (page 93 of 161)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi everyone, I wish you all a merry Christmas and a great evening!

HEY EVERYONE

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

Good evening to all you passionate and brave DIY motorhome builders.

I hope Santa brought you plenty of future gadgets for your mobile home in his sack.

In issue No. 4 (November-December 2006) of *Evasion camping-car* magazine, there are 4 pages on "the beast"

The beast is an American coach converted into a motorhome, presented at the Düsseldorf leisure vehicles show at the end of August 2006.

It’s the: Teschner XL II Ultimate Class

A machine standing 3.80 m tall and 14 meters long, and it only costs: "1.7 million euros"

But since, with its 14 meters, it can’t be approved for use on the European continent, don’t worry—they’ve thought of you and released the same model in 12 meters for just "1.2 million euros".

So, if Santa hasn’t come by yet, there’s still time to place an order 😉

For my part, I’ll give you a gift: the link below to a motorhome enthusiast’s site who was at the Düsseldorf show (but which year?).

There’s plenty of inspiration for your decor or your rear and side fittings 🙂

Your clickable gift:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2007 to all.

Hey Christian. In the same vein, I personally love browsing the WINNEBAGO site where you can do 360° tours of amazing interiors. 😛 Oops... cheers!!!

It's even more cost-effective to go for a 12m one—it works out to just 100,000 € per meter... so at 1.2 million €, that’s still a small fleet of decommissioned S53s! What do you even do with all that?! I’m asking you!!!

Happy holidays to everyone, and may all your dreams come true! ;)

😉Just saying hi to everyone 😉

😛 Yeah, mrkomm, it's pretty quiet right now—looks like there’ve been some abuses in the camper scene!!!... and apparently, it’s not over yet!!! 😉

Hey..!

I saw a suspicious ad...

http://cgi.ebay.fr/2004-Select-Diesel-Camping-Car_W0QQitemZ190065931434QQihZ009QQcategoryZ79058QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Because if that’s really the price, I wonder why we bother doing all this...

I started installing my 40x40 bars, but the welding machine I borrowed doesn’t work (great..! off to a good start..). So for now, I’ve just laid the bars down (just to say I didn’t do nothing).

Have a good evening Cheers Boniz

I live in the Paris region and I’m a big fan of this forum. I’ve run into a problem with the 1987 FR1 I just bought to convert into a motorhome. I pressure-washed the underside with a Karcher, and now I can’t shut off the engine with the stop button—I had to stall the engine by engaging gear. I waited several days for everything to dry, but it’s still the same. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

hi k1100 and everyone while you're under the hood, you might have unplugged the solenoid valve wire that shuts off the engine you can stop it by pulling the button above the engine from the back we can chat about it—send me your landline number in a PM see ya, jose

You can also test the contactor on the injection pump...

😛...An engine that won’t stop is still better than one that won’t start!!! 😎😎😎!!! 😉😉😉!!! 😇😇😇!!!

hey boniz38

if you want, I can lend you a welding machine so you can weld your tubes

A + 😎

In reply to boniz38 regarding the ad he saw on eBay. I had the same suspicion about what he came across. Actually, the seller couldn’t let me see the vehicle before the sale ended. To make a long story short, he told me he’d handle the transport for a ridiculous sum—he wanted me to pay two-thirds of the amount upfront and the rest on delivery. Luckily, a kind person warned me before I made a mistake, because it turned out to be a scam: the vehicle was stolen, his account was abroad (impossible to do anything banking-wise), and he’d managed to block his account to drive up bids until he reached his desired amount of 3000 €—way below its real value.

A 30,000 € vehicle bought for around 3000 €—if that’s not a deal, I don’t know what is!

I contacted eBay, and they said the complaint would be followed up, but I saw the seller was still active—he’d just changed his username, rating, city, photo, etc. But he made a huge mistake: the background was always the same.

So be careful on these kinds of sites because since then, I’ve found others that are even more subtle.

Hey atoi, and Merry Christmas! I’ve got the same bus as you, and I was wondering if you had a photo of your dashboard. The control switches are more legible on mine, so I don’t know what each one does. If you’ve got that or a page from the technical manual, that’d be really cool. Thanks in advance!

Hey!! Yeah, this ad stinks!! Anyway, I'm selling a gorgeous 2006 600cbr with only 1,700 km and a nearly new Remus exhaust (see photo). 2,500 € deal😛

Okay, I'm out...🙂

Hey..!

Thanks Tom for the offer, but I ended up buying one anyway. On the dashboard questions, I was wondering what the red warning light at the top left (!) on an S53 is for?

Have a good evening everyone

Boniz

😉...Yes tortue26, I think I have the technical manual, I'll get it to you as soon as I can. Ludo.
