It is with a heavy heart that I am parting with my short bus. I have put a ridiculous amount of time and thought into this thing, and it is a beast. It will climb up and down anything you tell it to in 4 low and handles crazy well on the highway considering it’s size. Has all the bells and whistles, and will carry all of your toys, from bikes to rafts to moving furniture. Interior has been overly thought out and is very versatile and functional. The exterior I have not painted, as I preferred the character of the bus color and you don’t have to worry about scratching it – but you can paint it any color that you would like! It is registered as an rv and I have not had any issues with insurance through state farm. I built this out to function as a shuttle rig for rafting trips and adventure. I just don’t use it enough to justify it, as I have only put 12k on it since I bought it 4 years ago. Below are the specs, along with all upgrades and features.
1994 Ford E-350 7.3 IDI (Diesel Indirect Injection) with ~125k miles
All completed in the last 10k:
4X4 Conversion
Completely rebuilt transmission and drivetrain in 2018. Used Bakers Transmission in Grand Junction and they did a superb job
4” Ujoint Lift Kit and 4wd Conversion completed by yours truly
Axle from a 2004 Ford F-350, totally rebuilt with new manual locking hubs
New Batteries as of 2020
New Starter as of 2021
New coolant lines, clamps, coolant
New Injectors, Injector Lines, and Injector Pump as of 2019
New Glow Plugs as of 2021
Wiring harnesses have been cleaned, inspected, and repaired
Rear Tire Rack off back door
New LED headlights as of 2020
Custom Roof Rack – wanted to build an aluminum deck/platform and never got to it
Roof has been sealed properly with rv caulk and white rubber sealant to keep it cool
200W solar panel with battery charger
Interior:
Custom woodworking, including cabinets, storage, table, kitchen, insulated floor, walls, and ceiling
2 bench seats and 1 single seat from a 2015 Ford Transit – for a total of 5 people and a driver
300 AH AGM Batteries – charged off solar panel as well as off the alternator via battery isolator. Plenty of charge to work remotely from your computer
Interior lights, usb chargers, 12v ports scattered all over the place
Radio with Bluetooth built into cabinets with 4 speakers
2 - 12v fans
Dometic Fridge and Sink Stove Combo
20 gallon water tank under bus
Espar Diesel Heater Allows for year round camping
Custom insulated Curtains
Queen Fold Out Bed in rear. Can be kept out or folded up for versatility
Cassette Toilet – can be placed in back or put outside
Please reach out if you have any questions. There is one issue with the bus, and that is that it is not starting well when the engine is hot and it is hot out. I had replaced the injection pump last fall and it worked great until recently now since it has been so warm recently. I have learned that you need to buy the high end injection pumps to make sure they rebuilt everything, and I only had replaced it with a middle of the road one. Anyways, it runs awesome and starts great when the engine is cold, I just drove to moab and back and it ran great. Also If you were to install a turbo on this thing (I was soo close) it would drive like a present day car. You can get a kit for around $2,500. Throw an aluminum deck on the roof and you are set.
