Meet Mongo the new means of getting from A to anywhere
<
1966 MCI 8v71 Detroit Diesel, manual trans, 35 feet long, full bathroom, kitchen, Onan generator, 2 AC units, furnace, oven, microwave and more.
Needs fresh paint on top, tires and a little TLC but generally she runs nice, had her at 70 mph on US71 for a mile or so with no dramas
Jealousy . . . I haz it
You lucky bas...
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find her, and how much.
One day the right deal will come along. Everything around here is either gold plated or scrap.
Beautiful. 
holy crap... are you going on tour?
Hah, that's absolutely nuts . Awesome, though, and a beautiful looking machine.
The plan is to put cars inside the bus, right?
Holy hell, that is the single LAST thing I was expecting to see for a "tow rig" color me impressed.
I got it outside of Youngstown Ohio, I drove her 230 miles home, paid a princely $3700, cash talks and I searched for over a year until the right one came along.
Cars will go on the trailer, I have a 24 enclosed one lined up for purchase at the end of the season.
You have to love stainless steel.
PO was an honest upstanding guy, the vehicle was a family camper converted by his FIL years ago.
Craigslist win
SCORE
You REALLY need to clean it up real nice and flat tow the Rover behind it.
Is your wife trained on using a buffer? That's going to take her a long time to get shined up!

i'm thinking a scotchbrite pad would make it look cooler..
There is one of these for sale locally and I WANT IT.
Seats 96, 600 hp Man diesel, and 50' long.... which is technically over the USDOT legal limit for a single vehicle, but is a cop really gonna bust out a tape measure?
I just wish I could afford the $75000 price tag
In reply to aussiesmg:
That's a great buy. Hope you enjoy it.
If not let me know. 
My buddy built this one -
That thing makes me smile 
You will double your investment with tires. They are awesome though.
HA! Really?
Is that going to tow to the Challenge? You better have the sweetest workshop setup in that thing!
So do you need a CDL?
Aussie, that's awesome.
Nice ! More piks of inside and some history ?
Niiiiice! Very cool score there.
What kind of mpg(gpm) did you get?

In my state (Mississippi) I wouldn't dare the DOT enforcement guys at all. They bust out portable weight machines when drivers get sneaky. They take no crap.
aussiesmg, i love it. i understand it's just a small part of ownership costs, but that seems cheap
I see where the fuel savings of going to the Hyundai are now. And you had better make the challenge, I didn't carry those tires for nothing!
That is really cool. Are you going to drive it to Mid Ohio next weekend?
Im waiting for the mpg numbers as well. I like it.
