  • Arthur and Joni are experienced boondockers, and escape the Montana winters by staying in the desert outside Quartzsite on BLM land in their comfortably equipped MCI bus conversion. It has solar, lead carbon batteries, and large propane tank capacity for extended stays off-grid.

    Do you mind me asking approximately what you paid for a bus like that that was probly considered fair to poor condition at the time.
    My wife and I are currently looking for an older bus similar to this but prices have been all over the board and I’m trying to establish some kind of fair pricing rate for us to use while we are shopping.
    If you don’t feel comfortable telling me that’s fine also and respect that. You have a wonderful bus either way brother!! You and your wife have done a fantastic job getting this bus back in good shape!! I’m proud of you for saving another bus. Keep up the good work brother!!

      Probably Very Poor condition.
      I hope he got it for near free.
      Its a Very Big financial Liability
      To get it on the road in safe condition.

    Bodies were built in Canada, shipped to ND then assembled.

    Are the batteries 6 v or 12 v ? When you use the generator to power the microwave or air conditioners does it power them directly using 110 volts or do you charge the batteries and then use that power to run appliances? If it powers them directly do you lose a lot of efficiency if the appliances dont use all the power the generator makes?

      It really varies depending on condition. Could be anywhere from 5 to 30 K, at the very low end if it’s been sitting for a long time, at the high-end if it’s being driven and used and maintained properly. There’s a Facebook group called bus conversions for sale you can look at to see what things are going for and also list it there if you want.

    He's dehydrated; when his hand is showing the lights they are extremely dry in skin appearance and skin pull.

      Now that you mention it yes, he was. We were out in the desert, perhaps he wasn’t drinking enough.

      He worked hard and has a very nice bus so why say anything if you can’t be positive or at least polite.
