Description
this is a great item to place on your property and rent it out as an air bnb then take it out for a weekend trip!
The ‘’Andromeda’’ is for sale. I’ve seen many RV’s in my time, but THIS ONE takes the cake! How cool would it be to live in an airplane converted into an RV. Think you could live in something like this…? All off grid possible, powered by 50 amp landline plus generator and solar power, this would be a very unique way to live sustainably. Enjoy a few drinks in your personal Jacuzzi in the living area inside the main body of a real retired aircraft. Andromeda is registered with the state of California, albeit as a 1979 Pace Arrow motorhome. A rescued 1957 Convair 240 airplane became 1980’s motorhome with full amenities, and even a hot tub! The tail section ramp raises and lowers electrically. A huge berth is located in the overhang including electric fans , stereo and you can open the roof and sleep with the stars. There are also bunk beds located in the plane located behind the cockpit, the plane sleeps 4. Also included is a bathroom, and a kitchen. Built on a heavy duty Diesel chassis with International diesel engine.
The plane cockpit has two seats and is drivable on both seats.
Built in the early 1980s by Tony Tosta and Jason Von Straussenburg. Jason, with help from Tony and others, renovated a 54-foot airplane, took out the undercarriage and replaced it with the inner-workings of a Pace Arrow motorhome. Dubbed the Andromeda after the Ethiopian princess of Greek mythology, the plane was parked behind the auto house on Trigo Road, where Jason worked. It was hidden behind some bamboo and brush, but being a huge airplane. Andromeda is registered with the state of California, albeit as a 1979 Pace Arrow motorhome. The Andromeda can cruise down the freeway at a comfortable 65 mph The Andromeda even had its brush with fame. When Toad the Wet Sprocket came to play in Santa Barbara in the ’90s, they used the Andromeda as a sort of greenhouse.There is plenty of storage in the cargo area. The plane/RV needs some TLC and paint job to make it perfect.
