Vehicle Description
1999 Ford Econoline RV Cutaway Road Van. Rebuilt Triton V10 engine
and overdrive transmission for maximum gas mileage. This is truly a
One-of-a-kind Party Bus/RV and camper. She is "Shuttle Van
Conversion Number 6" Professionally built in 2013 by John
Schmalshof, custom coach builder in Atlanta, GA. The exterior looks
pretty normal for a Shuttle bus, except perhaps for the diamond
plated tool box in the rear. However, the interior is constructed
of natural wood, cloth upholstery, curtains and amply appointed
with Stainless steel hardware and equipped with many creature
comforts. This Shuttle Bus Conversion offers many windows for
viewing Nature - much more than a conventional RV/Motor Coach and
has shore power hookups when at a campsite with services, but also
can be very functional for days "off-grid" with its solar panels
and power inverter. Tinted windows give privacy. The Van Sleeps 4
comfortably - One queen bed and one Gaucho couch/bed...The
conversion in 2013 included installation of the elevated queen bed
platform at the rear of the coach. Directly under the bed is a 25
gallon water tank and a large cavity for luggage and storage
accessed from the outside clamshell door. Also under the bed is
storage space for clothing with sliding doors of faux marble
accessible from inside. A large matching faux marble cabinet was
installed on the LHS of the van for storage which houses the
stainless steel sink bowl and encases the 20 Gallon water heater.
Opposite the cabinet on the RHS of the van is a Gaucho bed - a
comfy couch by day, and a fold out two-sleeper bed by night. The
coach was modified to accomodate a large Norcold
Refrigerator/Freezer (AC and propane) and a microwave.....purchased
in 2015 and driven Cross-Country. no problems whatsoever and the
bus drove well and was very comfortable. In 2015, Solar Panel
system added (utilizing two marine batteries for storage). Also in
2015 the van received a new HO alternator, all new belts and hoses,
a new wireless Electric Door System for side door entry, a new AC
compressor, and a new bluetooth remote control stereo system. In
2020 the carpeting was removed and a new vinyl floor of simulated
oak was installed. .....Here are a few more details of the Coach's
