Wolf is a new one to me. It's being auctioned locally. Haven't seen it in person but the interior is just walls, ceiling, and lights.

My transmode was a mobile sales room for Furnas Electric. Only body windows was rear and door. Aftermarket upfitter did entire interior including a non power drawer Onan and electric heat. With all the display items it had more BX in it than my house.

Looked at the pictures. Similar to what mine is like. I suspect that was a "standard" order configuration for Transmodes sold to upfitters for commercial uses.

The air lines have been cut also going into the left rear wheel well. I wonder if the compressor is under the hood or was removed with the interior furnishings? I can see on the floor there were some shallow cabinets around the wheel wells. Looks to be some water damage at the back end.

The lights and panduit look vaguely similar to the Starships we had for remote broadcasts, 26' Transmodes outfitted by Sony with remote broadcast and local sound gear. One belonged to WAAF (crank it UP!!!) in Scenic Woostah, MA. The other was in Orlando at our facilities there. No idea what went with either of them when we sold the company. Dominic Bordunaro in Bridgeport CT could probably tell if someone wants to buy that one.

Wolf did a lot of custom vehicles, based on the GMC 26' Transmode. One was auctioned at Eglin AFB, Fl a few years ago. It had twin Onans, no propane, reinforced roof with metal flooring in top and lots of 19" equipment racks. Apparently was used as a mobile instrumentation vehicle somewhere on the Eglin AFB.
Was painted in AF Blue with typical govt external serial numbers.
Purchaser attempted to drive it home, but as I remember, it only went a short distance before giving up the ghost. Never did know who the purchaser was or where it was going.
