Most important info besides the notations on the image, is that there is space for a second battery, which would increase the storage capacity to 10 kwh, a huge amount.

Features

This is a 29’ long, 4-Season Off Grid 2011 IC CE 3000 with 150,000 miles, a 12” roof raise, sleeps 4 or 5 and seats 5, and well insulated with spray foam. The bus was designed with the goal of being able to boondock full time for as much of the year as possible, and to be repairable. It has not been lived in so far, the bus started as a custom build for a travel nurse who then later had unexpected things come up, so I let them out of the contract. I changed the plans and finished the build to sell. There are still some smaller opportunities for customization of the bus to fit your needs more precisely. If you think of any further pictures that you would like to see, reach out and ask for them! I’m happy to also give a facetime tour as you would like.

Currently interested parties: 3

I’m open to reasonable offers, I think the bus is worth what it is listed at, but I’m willing to hear other offers or opinions about it’s worth. If you’re just browsing and just interested in knowing more, feel free to email me with any questions you might have. I’m happy to share some of the things I learned building 3 buses by now. If you’re looking for a custom bus of your own, let me know!

Solar Production Summary –

Understanding the amount of solar power this will produce and if it will be enough for your planned lifestyle is a very difficult question to answer. If you’re traveling north and south with the weather and give some thought to your energy usage, I would expect no issues for the majority of the year. It, like any other setup, would require a generator or a shore power plug on occasion for snow storms or staying somewhere very cloudy. If you have questions about how well the solar panels would enable your ideas, feel free to email.

Heating Energy usage –

The Mini Split’s heating performance offers a Coefficient of Performance of on average 3.5. This means for every kw of energy given to the system it can generally offer 3.5 kw of heat into your space. This is much more efficient than a typical air conditioner, and provides a very quiet and efficient way to heat your space. Recently, on a cold (25 degree) northern indiana day, the unit consumed about 5 Kwh of electricity, the full battery to keep it 70 degree’s inside. This was also without anyone inside to heat it with their normal activities and bodies, which would help considerably.

The Cooling COP is 4.5, and less of a concern energy usage wise because of the fact that when it’s hot outside, there is likely more solar power too, and the bus should have no trouble keeping cool on hot sunny days.

Financing

Looking for a cash offer, but am willing to consider Seller Financing depending on the circumstance, but I would still be looking for a large down payment, at least half the value of the bus.
