Funny you mention that. I was just looking at it before I saw your
message. I always enjoy reading the creative marketing prose. This
is another one of those "I AM SELLING IT FOR A FRIEND OF MINE, AND
WOULD BUY IT FOR MYSELF BUT I ALREADY HAVE ONE." per the ad listing.
Translation: what I don't know, I'll make up.
He claims in the ad: "BUILT ON THE FRAME OF A DIESEL PUSHER, HOWEVER,
ENGINE IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT. THE BUS IS 11" TALLER THAN MOST OF THE
OTHER ONES BUILT IN '79 AS IT IS THE ON THE PUSHER TYPE FRAME. THIS
BUS WAS BUILT AS THEY WERE TRANSFORMING FROM THE PULLER TYPE WITH THE
ENGINE UP IN THE FRONT TO THE PUSHER TYPE WITH THE ENGINE IN THE
REAR." In my mind that would make it *extremely* rare since they
didn't do the first Wanderlodge pusher until 1982.
I wonder if this is a wreck that was raised 11" by a "bus nut"
converter type? As I recall, that was popular back then among the
Eagle bus nut guys doing their own thing. Does give it an interesting
look. Looks like Wanderlodge quality inside however. I wanted to see
a beter shot of the entry door to see how they get into the thing.
The picture doesn't show the door well, but it looks like it was
standard lenght, just raised.
Caveat emptor!
