This might be a good parts coach the map says Red Bluff, California.
Does anyone know about it?

The PO was certainly into trying to keep it cool judging by the amount of vents in the front sides!!

Karma,

I look at this coach (TZE167V100982 Eleganza II) today for a friend.
The power train is suposed to work, couldn't verify that. Intake manifold was replaced
with an after market causing a trip hazard dog house.

Frame couldn't be looked at, sitting on the ground. 16.5 rims and tires.

Onan didn't want to slide out.
Exterior needs attention to body panel joint sealant (water leaks), clean up, window rubber and channels,
cracked driver windshield.

Interior is complete, no pieces missing.
Cabinet modules some need attention, other need replacing.
Frig (Norcold) needs cleaning but not very old unit. Cooktop/oven usable.

Upholstering is not torn, but sun and heat scorched.

With time and $$$$ this can be returned to a nice coach. With some revival work and tires, it could drive out.

IMO. it's not worth the asking price.

Are all those coaches licensed and insured?
Do they just sit at Burning Man or can they be driven locally?

What I would like to see is the coaches when they leave and when they return and what is required to get them ready for next years rental. They have a very interesting web site. Especially intriguing is all coaches are white and renters are encouraged to decorate them in the spirit of Burning Man. No cleanup, fillup or dumping required on return.

Also very telling is the sig line on each page "stay dusty". I guess that sure fits from everything I've read about Burning Man.
