I am selling "Nightmare". Bought this RV on ebay (drinking and ebay....) a few years back and have made little or no progress with it. I am selling as is for $1000 OBO. Has the om314 engine, generac genset, hydraulic leveling, 70? gal propane tanks, fresh water, grey water etc etc. Gutted the interior as I had big plans. Engine does not run, turns over just fine. Injection pump needs to be replaced. I sourced a few over on busfreaks.de for 2-400 euro. Can be rebuilt by any decent Bosch shop for similar price. Vehicle will need to be towed, I brought it back on a trailer from Mississippi with a F250 diesel. It is located in Atlanta, I will do whatever I can to help you get it home. It also has the full manual and clippings from the original owner, as well as the second owner.

Now a third kid is on the way and I need to make room for a minivan. Please help me save this thing from the scrapper as my wife intends for it to be gone by the end of summer!

I should add, it is a 11000 GWVR, dually rear, 5gear (granny first) allison manual trans. The price is mostly to justify some of the time and effort I put into it. I'm a cheap date, put a few beers in me and make an offer.

I had a Mercedes bus for awhile based on a similar platform, and called Motoroam Industries for some part or another; and I was really pleased to talk to Mr. Oam himself (or whatever his name was).

My point is, Motoroam parts are still available from the builder, and the builder absolutely knows what he is talking about.

Good luck with the sale -- I have been down that path and aint goin' again. (wink)

Ya, he is long retired now, I managed to track down his home number and get some info. Seems that his sons still do one offs but not much else...
