1990 Thomas 36' with cummins/allison fully converted

My wife and I have decided to sell our skoolie, sadly. We have taken it all over the PNW on some amazing trips, but want to get a larger boat for some water adventures and can’t justify having the bus just sit. We put $30,000 into it last year with the engine replacement and rebuilt transmission.

It’s a 1990 Thomas transit liner (has a door in the center of the bus as well as the front) with a freshly installed 8.3 cummins, and a freshly rebuilt allison mt643. The bus runs and drives great. Cruises very happily at 65-70. It also has a tillman driveline brake, which is an electromagnetic brake for coming down hills. It has 4 settings, and will allow you to come down mountain passes without ever having to touch the service brakes or worrying about brake overheating.

It has a 2 burner propane stove, sharp carousel convection microwave, a pretty large RV refrigerator (propane or electric), full size kitchen sink, marine style water heater (makes hot water when the engine is running, or electric), and a marine-style wet bathroom (shower and toilet are in the same space so, which makes it roomier). There is a full bed in the rear of the bus, under which is the fresh water tank (100 gallon). The couches can also be arranged into a queen size bed as well. Outside, there is a nice zip-dee awning, 4 weatherproof storage boxes and a large deck on the roof with a pickup bed storage box as well. There are 2 smaller and one large solar panel on the roof. They are older, but work. I’m not positive how many watts they output though. The front tires are 2 years old. Rears are older, but have lots of tread. Coach batteries are a couple years old, but test good. House batteries will be brand new as soon as a buyer is lined up (4 x 6v). There is a built in honda generator, but it is currently not working. It needs a control board, but parts are discontinued. I’m currently trying to find the part, or will try to replace the generator. We typically used a predator 3500w just because it was quieter anyways.

Let me know if you have any questions, or would like to come see the bus. We’re sad to see it go, but happy someone will be using it.
