Step 2: We Buy The Mirage



So to make a long story short, we drove miles and miles, saw the potential, bought it and drove it home. As you can see by the pictures, the interior was mostly stripped out, but all of the original cabinets were saved, and in good shape.




The cab is in really good shape, the plan is to redo the front seats in the same material as we do the rest of the motor home in. I should note that this motor home is powered by the Toyota 22R, and has 66,000 original miles. Driving it home was like driving a pick-up truck. My 7 year old son Ryan rode with me, and my wife followed in the car. Ryan was fast asleep by the time we reached home at about 1:00 in the morning.

It may be wise to eventually upgrade the 4 speed transmission with a 5 speed for freeway speeds.
