DAYCOACH MOTOR HOME
- Description : A 1952
motor coach, restored to perfection. The Land Yacht
conversion was accomplished by the Custom Couch Co in
1961. No. 967. This unique features all of the amenities
found in the most modern motor homes, combined with the
classic retro elegance of Day Couch travel. All systems
are fully operational. The upgrade specifications include
flat screen TV,DVD,CD, individual control heating and
air-conditioning in both forward and rear cabins, stereo
sound, sleeping for 4, roof observation deck with
interior and exterior access. The bath shines with a very
rare and correct stainless Travel Lav with shower. The
decor includes new wall to wall carpeting with a full
protective runner, new upholstery, all tastefully
appointed. The rear compartment converts to sleeping
berths, reminiscent of stately rail travel. There is
extensive storage capability, with 2 full wardrobes, 11
large drawers, and double size slideouts under each sofa.
The walk in rear compartment is a combination of diamond
plate and carpet, and is large enough to carry a
motorcycle! There is a full towing package for a trailer.
Electrical systems are powered by either the new 10 KW
Kohler generator, or by a shore power 50 amp. connection.
There is new rubber all around on perfect Alcoa rims. The
Zip Dee awnings all have new canvas, along with tinted,
screened windows, and privacy curtains. The exterior
combines DuPont Imron paint, highly polished stainless
steel, superior chrome, and extensive pin striping. An
automatic transmission makes for easy driving and it
cruises effortlessly at 65MPH. The motor has been
thoroughly inspected and repainted to original condition.
The steering is tight and responsive. The couch does not
require any special license to operate. It has the
original owners manuals, factory blue prints, full
schematics and original documentation. This vehicle may
be used to promote products, as a campaign couch, a
corporate entertainment and tailgating bus, or as an
elegant private motor home. It has performed in all of
these functions in grand style and is truly "one of a
kind". If there were a Concours d'Elegance for motor
coaches, this would definitely be a winner!!
