I’ve had a lot of requests for more pictures of the bus.  We are putting together some better pics as we move along with the conversion but figured I would post all the pre-purchase pictures that we got from the PO (previous owner) before we actually bought the bus and drove it home.  Enjoy!

Eagle 10S at Arcadia

This was one of the first pictures that I saw of the bus.  The PO sent this to me when I inquired about the pro’s and cons of owning and driving an Eagle 10 Suburban Model (notice only one set of wheels “no tag” wheels in the back)  There are some weight restrictions but it gets better mileage than most.

Living Room

The next few are some of the pics that were sent after being made known that it would possibly be for sale in the next few weeks.

The PO did a really good job on the cabinets. This is a picture of the couch in the (very small) living room.

Kitchen Sink

Moving into the galley we have the kitchen sink and stove.  The sink is slightly smaller than what we have now as it is only one sink and not two.  But it’s a pretty good size (and deep) for an RV.  The stove has 4 burners.  Both run on propane.  It is much smaller than a standard stove or oven but to have 4 burners is a plus with 4 kids.  Most RV’s have 2 burners

Galley Armoire

This armoire built into the galley gives us some additional storage in the kitchen and dining room areas. There is also a webasto heating unit underneath that provides heat to the bus.  Not a good picture here.  The top of the cabinet has 3 roll out drawers and the bottom of the cabinet has 4 drawers.  I see this as storage for silverware and pots and pans.

Kitchen Galley

This is a shot of the entire galley. Currently the corner counter has been cut out and the refrigerator has been turned 90 degrees and pushed back at the end of the galley.  The wall around the refrigerator will be cut out and turned into a hallway.  Bunks will be installed into what is the current hallway.

Neo-Angled Shower

Toilet & Sink

The PO really wasn’t concerned so much about space.  This bathroom is probably a 1/4 of the entire bus.  This neo-style shower, a house sized sink and vanity along with a toilet take up most of the space.  There is also a large amount of space behind the shower that was used for storage.

An RV toilet with a house sized sink and vanity.  Unseen in this picture are the bathroom lights.  Almost all of the electrical in the bus is currently 110v AC.   These lights are typical of what you’d find in a house. Along with only 40 gallons fresh, gray and black, it’s easy to see the PO designed the bus for life in a campground, not necessarily boondocking.

Bedroom

Finally we have the bedroom.  This was unfinished when we bought it.  All that was in here was a mattress and a curtain.  The framework for the bed was in place but no cabinets had yet been built in around the bed.

Bedroom Armoire

This armoire was the only storage space in the bedroom.  It is a really nice piece of Sauder Furniture.  It is very large but with the way the bedroom was setup it takes up too much space and is not practical for what we are doing.  We have since removed this and are working on building in cabinets.

Steering Wheel and Gauges

The PO spent a lot of time and money in upgrades for this bus.  It was certainly one of the selling points.  He had installed a new steering box (to prevent drift/sway and eliminate play in the steering column) installed an air controlled throttle (makes controlling the gas pedal much easier) Jake Brakes with a foot pedal (Stepping on this uses the engine to slow down as opposed to the brakes, a must have in a 20 ton vehicle)  And a brand new dashboard with all new gauges.

New Dashboard

The engine is a Detroit Diesel 6v92TA without any electronic controls.  Good old fashioned mechanical.  Can’t see too much here and if you have never worked on a diesel bus engine before, you probably have no idea what you are looking at.  One thing unseen in the picture is the lack of oil dripping onto the ground.  She definitely has oil in her but doesn’t leak any at all which is amazing for a bus of this age.  According to the PO this engine only has about 25-30k miles on it.  The total bus miles are around 580k.

Bye Bye!!!!!
