The perfect size. Raise it about 6 inches and with a diesel, off to South America on the PanAm Highway. Have the perfect engine sitting here for it. This is about the size I originally wanted but am spoiled with the huge bathroom, etc. now. Good eyes, Dwayne!

Man that is an odd one.  Looks like an Oshkosh Chassis, wonder what engine ? Front diesel ?

Everyone should read the listing in ebay, says it has new appliances, counters etc.  Starting bid $ 5,000.  Might be a great bargain for someone.

Interesting coach. Our records show we never built a 27' in 1988. Built several 29' coaches and one 26' commercial coach. From the pictures, I believe this is the 26'.When it left the factory it had a bathroom and commercial racks and cabinets.
Built on Chevrolet chassis with 454 gas engine. Wet weight when it left the factory: 10,260 lb.

How about you tow this one and use it as a mother in law suite ?  :) Or a man cave when the DW has had enough of you.  :-(

I saw one similar a few years back on ebay... can't remember how long it was but shorter than usual. It had been used for mobile medical in some capacity. It had a bath but there was no kitchen... seems like a desk as well. Pretty cute little rig there.

I am pretty sure we saw one of the 29' models at Camp Foretravel last fall. It looked pretty much like our U225, just smaller. Pretty cool little coach. I think it had a 5.9 Cummins.
