Charlie Sheen’s Former Tour Bus, Which He Bought During a ‘Frickin’ 12-Day Bender,’ Up for Auction
Charlie Sheen bought a custom RV on a 12-day bender, sold it to rocker Tim Montana, and now the refurbished 1998 Prevost Marathon XL is up for auction.
A “hammered” Charlie Sheen ordered up a swanky dressing room on wheels that was reborn as a party-hearty rock ’n’ roll tour bus!
Sheen bought the RV on a “12-day bender” while filming Two and a Half Men, then sold it to outlaw rocker Tim Montana for touring with his band, Loudwire once reported.
Now Montana has sanitized every trace of raunchy rocker antics, outfitted the bus like a rolling VIP lounge and put it up for auction.
“This bus is more than a vehicle. It’s a conversation piece with a legendary backstory,” an online article reads.
That backstory began when Sheen decided to get his own custom coach after being inspired by costars with private trailers on the set of 1994’s Major League II.
So he headed to an RV factory in Oregon with his latest squeeze.
“I showed up there hammered, like on a frickin’ 12-day bender,” the 60-year-old recalled, per Loudwire.
“I was seeing this porn star at the time. I’m like, ‘Hey, I’ve got to go design a bus … So we jump on the plane, we get there. She nodded off in the meeting with the head guys of the company, talking about what I was looking for.”
Flying high at the time, Sheen says he wanted the RV’s interior to mirror the ambience of the trendy L.A. cocktail hangout Bar One.
When the bus was finally ready, Sheen was sober after going through rehab.
“Now I’ve got a clear mind and this thing pulls up and I walk inside and I’m like, ‘Whose idea was this?’ I had to get reacquainted with the choices I made,” he recalled.
Montana eventually bought the RV for touring with his Southern rock/country band, the Shrednecks.
Now he’s put the 1998 Prevost Marathon XL coach on the auction block after splashing out $140,000 for a complete overhaul and upgrades, including six bunks, two bathrooms, air conditioning and plush red velvet couches.
“It’s a professionally outfitted tour bus loaded with amenities, backed by a wild Hollywood origin tale and a second life on the rock circuit,” an online article about the vehicle stated.
