This custom 1984 Volvo semi-truck motorhome combines a living space with a rig that’s capable of pulling heavy loads. It’s currently on Craigslist for $6,500 in Parma, Ohio. Motor1.com reached out to the owner for more details about the fascinating build.<\/p>\n
The base vehicle is a Volvo big rig with a turbodiesel inline-six engine. The listing reports the truck “runs great” and claims it receives service every year. The rear can hook up to a gooseneck, bumper pull, or pintle hook trailer hitch. The truck allegedly completed a trip from Maryland and South Carolina last year.<\/p>\n

The owner reports that the living section in the back is a custom build from the previous owner. He and his wife used the truck for towing a drag race car and for traveling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The space isn’t luxurious but is fully featured. There’s a sitting space with two bench seats that fold to make a bed, a wall-mounted TV, a sink, a microwave, a toilet, and a shower. The water tanks hold 80 gallons. A propane heater keeps things warm. The truck has an inverter and a shore power electric hookup. The setup would be fine for a weekend at the dragstrip or staying overnight during a road trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The seller notes issues with the vehicle, like a small amount of water damage on the floor. The driver’s door handle is broken.<\/p>\n
The photos in the original Craigslist listing (linked below) are low resolution but show some other perspectives. There’s a door on the rear for entering the living area. The back section has indoor\/outdoor carpeting, meaning someone could use it as a small porch when camping. A tiny ladder provides easier access when entering or exiting the vehicle.<\/p>\n
