The Custom Argosy

argosy

This custom Freightliner Argosy was a project at Paradise Coach Interiors, who are as you might guess a custom coach / motorhome build company. They’re based in Coberg, Oregon, if anyone is curious about doing a custom interior or rebuilt there.

Toterhome Upgrade in a Day

This is the toterhome of the Wolf Racing Team, out of Moorefield, West Virginia, and they recently — after swearing off doing anything like the huge task carried out when they first built their toterhome — upgraded their toterhome. It only took an afternoon this time, though.

The reason for going back to the task: the team wrote, was that they didn’t like being passed. Didn’t like it on the track and didn’t like it on the highway getting to the track. And this upgrade was done about three years after the initial build, so maybe enough time had passed since their team members were uttering “never again.”

So they did this upgrade and added, as they say, a few hundred horsepower to their toterhome.

In an afternoon. They wanted to keep the work they had already done in 2010, so they didn’t start all over. They just lifted the living quarters box off the old truck and placed it on the newer one.

Luckily for those interested in things like motor home conversions and upgrades, they posted photos.

Custom Toterhome

This bright red toterhome — formerly used in racing — came across our eyes and we decided to do a write up on it. It’s a truck and trailer that belongs to a fellow who decided to sell the unit due to retiring from the family racing business.

Due to the nature of the truck sale, he said the truck also came with a lot of racing equipment and parts.

It’s a Freightliner chassis, but even though the fellow did list a lot of the features of the truck, he didn’t mention the truck model.

Truck specs:

Engine: Detroit C60
Transmission: Eaton M-10
Sleeps: 6 (the sleepers are accomodated in 2 bunks, 1 over the cab and a couch)
5500 Onan generator
Wheels: Aluminum Alcoa

Lots of toterhome features, like a full bathroom and shower, good kitchen set-up, lots of cabinets, exterior storage compartments,

As you can see, it also has a 42 foot fifth wheel trailer, and the trailer is done up like a shop.

He didn’t sound like he was in any rush to sell, but was considering offers on this fairly luxury motor coach toterhome. Visit B Doocy (click here).
