MCI motorcoach RV?

Saw this flyer up at work, otherwise NMNA.

Hate to think how many miles are on an ex-Greyhound bus, but this seems like a lot of vehicle for the money if you could manage the storage.

Or for a few bucks more you can grab this.

That had to be an enormously expensive vehicle at one point.

Ya prolly just oughtta go roadtrip. I've never seen a Bird that cheap before...

One of my neighbors bought a Blue Bird in the late 80s and I think it was around $150,000. His was smaller than this one though.

Mine sold new in 1981 for $185,000.00

I paid $10,500.00

Love that thing. If you have the means, I strongly recommend one.

Mongo approves this thread

Come on guys someone has to be in the greater Macon area that could put some eyes on this thing for me!!

Macon is only a few hours away. But air breaks scare me.

Would one need a special license to drive a vehicle with air brakes?

For a CDL, yes. Just an endorsement. No sure if needed on a RV.

You really have to look out for those air breaks.

Mongo has air brakes, no special requirement on an RV

What specifically would one have to look out for? I know nothing about air brakes aside from they make cool sounds.

We just funnin'

I won't drive anything that the "air brake/ air ride system airs up in 30 MINUTES or less". You got a serious problem if the compressor takes that long to reach 150 psi..

I guess I missed it.

In reply to Supercoupe:

It probably has dozens of small leaks as well. Between the brakes, suspension, door controls ect if you don't stay ontop of Maintainance that can be a problem. That said if you are looking for an RV that you are going to put miles on an MCI is tough to beat.
