    Default Retired ProTour Team Support Vehicle - the Ultimate Nomad Toterhome?

    My current job: clear out a warehouse full of racing equipment for the former BMC Pro Racing team (aka CCC Team), including this 2002 Renegade 40 toter home built on a Freightliner FL112 truck with a Caterpillar C12 motor and an Eaton auto-shifting transmission. 210K miles. It only requires a Class C license since it's registered as an RV. Best of all? The washer/dryer! The garage area has been customized to hold 40 racing bikes and all the mechanical equipment. I'm fantasizing about selling my house and dropping $50k on this sweet machine so I can live that Bicycle Nomad lifestyle...

    Has the bike bit nailed. But it seems to be overlooking the sleeping bit one does between rides...

    That is the most dialed team truck to ever travel America. All the bike mounts were custom made by a person in Santa Rosa that normally does winery equipment, hence why it's all stainless.

    Noope. I would not touch a thing. Look, let's get real. After DCT et.al. christen the thing with expensive beers and bongwater well it's game over. Let it just as is with all the hard earned Pro Team funk. Maybe a wee bit of the awesome will be absorbed.

    This is great but the bike racks to beds ratio do not fit well with a nomad life. Would be great for someone looking to open a bike shop that do not have a fixed physical presence, fetch your bike to your door and deliver it back once serviced. Not sure if that kind of business would be profitable though.

    That's an incredible opportunity to be able to see this equipment, let alone have the chance to buy it. I'm guessing the lack of sleeping quarters would have made this primarily the mechanics' vehicle? Would the team have had this + a bus? Curious to see what other goodies are in that warehouse...

    I see lots of places to secure a hammock in the bike area. Problem solved.

    Loads of space to reconfigure it for living. Sweet rig.

    Looks like half the bike space could be converted into sleeping quarters/shower/bathroom and you'd still have tons of space for storage...
