This thread will entail the conversion of an MCI coach bus into an RV. I've had a number of requests asking that I start an online blog of the build, although I do not write nor read blogs. So, here be my Pirate thread. Having been a member of the Pirate community for several years, I know damn well this place tops all others for engineering collaborations and knowledge, as well as the ultimate in criticism where needed.
Starting from the top - here is what we picked up from an eBay auction. 1990 MCI 102-C3 as retired from a limousine service in Dallas, Texas.
As you may notice further down in this thread, this is the main topic that relates to us purchasing the bus, tearing it down, and designing the overall floorplan. Everything from the heated floor to the inside of the roof, and everything from the rear wall to the windshield relating to the living quarters will be here. Subtopics are split between Engine Bay, Electrical System, Water System, and Driveline/Suspension.
Those that followed along with the original thread on Pirate know all too well how a build thread this large can get royally mixed up as parts orders and subjects of the particular time end up completely out of order.
