My Travco is a Gonner #1

I sold my 1975 Travco motor home that I repowered with a 5.9 Cummins diesel engine and did 100 other things to. We had some fun times traveling in that old coach, a couple of times there were 8 of us but usually 2 to 4. I hated to let it go but I've gotten to the point that I felt that I couldn't maintain it properly myself and hat was part of the fun.

Sold my 73 Dodge to a friend several years ago when the gas got out of hand. He rents a spot in my barn so it never really left. I spent more time working on it than sleeping in it. New engine, trans, furnace, water heater, suspension upgrades ect. I reinforced the back end for a tow hitch and the B went behind on a trailer. It was a lot of fun but got to expensive to fuel plus I has a hard time getting away with taking care of dad.

Funny this came up since I'll be spending next weekend in it with my buddy. See my drag racing thread. I had to laugh cause his wife wanted to show me how everything works. I had to remind them it used to be mine. grinning smiley

The new owner will enjoy the modifications that you made to that MoHo. I followed your posts and photos of the work being done. The changes you made updated the power and interior nicely.
Are those photos still on line somewhere?
