1973 mci help

Looking for help on who converted my bus. Need user service manuals. Cant find data plates. Pics attached. Thanks Tim

RV coach user manuals are pretty useless. Once you identify the chassis, service manuals for it can sometimes be found on eBay or from the manufacturer. Appliance manuals for the A/C, fridge, furnace, stove can be found online by googling the maker and model numbers.

RARELY will you find a manufacturer using an MCI chassis, ..Mostly individuals "doing there thing" The "maker" will be a bus company. It's a different world,, I have owned two and assisted with several more ( GMC MCI Eagle Gillig Flxable Prevost.) Usually the manufacturer will have a nomenclature tag in a visable place,, but home builders will remove these tags.>>>Dan ( Look under the drivers seat in the forward storage bay to find the original VIN # stamped in the left front frame rail.)
The Detroit engine will have (if not removed) a nomenclature tag on one of the valve covers giving the specs for that engine.)

Detroit lingo:
8 > number of cylinders
V > block type
92 > cubic inches per cylinder X 8=736 CI=12 liters
T > turbocharged
A > aftercooled

MCI was a motorhome builder as well as bus chassis maker, so yours may well be an MCI-built coach. Contact MCI with the VIN and see if they can help.

It makes sense, this coach came from Canada and most were built for Canadian consumption.>>>D

It looks like a 5 series coach,, either an A B or C I have a friend in Blacky, AB Canada that just sold his MCI5C factory built coach. It has a Detroit 6V92TA and has been very well maintained by a professional driver.>>>Dan

Looks very similar to a friends coach we used to travel with in BC. How long ago did you buy it and where.
