^^ Yes this 290 looks worthy of serious consideration.
I do wonder if the conversion is well fettled in, if so that and the rear bed, general refreshed condition could make for desirable rig to get into!

Sure sounds like it. It would be paying 50 cents on a dollar if all is as described. But then again, we all know that there is always more to the story. Only drawback I see is the lack of awnings

Does the stock th400 tranny mate up with that chevy diesel? He doesnt mention a transmission change. I guess that motor is a Detroit, does it have a good reputation?

No matter how you slice it, that is a fine coach! If I were still looking, I would probably have grabbed it myself.

"retro toaster"...oh, wow! That does look too good to be true...

Considering all the mechanical work that was done to that moho, how do you end up with a picture of the toilet rather than the engine?

That seemed strange to me also. It could be the fly in the ointment. I've done several engine and drivetrain retrofits in classic vehicles and have seen many more. It can be done very eloquently and reliable or an unmaintainable mess.

you can say that again, that is an incredible coach and reasonable considering all the features and the power plants.
Sure puts a damper and some perspective in my wimpy restoration work, hahaha

Ahhh! The rare card!

If the rest of the coach is in good shape I'd go for that deal. One nice thing about the 360 pusher is the "engine room" gives nice access for repairs. Im guessing they determined that damage to the #1 cylinder is not reparable in the vehicle. An engine swap would not be a show stopper for me. I can't figure out why the don't have an EGT. Easy to torch these engines if you don't know how to operate them.
