The guy who owns this and is trying to sell it belongs to my Neoplan board on Yahoo.  Nice guy, but, of course, he has too much into it and is fooling himself about what it is worth.

I'm not sure which is the classier touch -- the ThermoKing on the back, or the wild west saloon theme in the bar.

For my money, I'd vote on the upstairs disco with the mannequin standing behind the bar...

As it happens I spent 9 hours on a double-decker Megabus coach last weekend (my new car came from Northern Scotland!), and when I wasn't asleep I was studying the design of the thing to work out if it would make a decent conversion. My conclusion, unfortunately, was that it wouldn't. As you would expect, the problem is headroom, and the design of the vehicle I was on was such that only the very narrow and very deep central aisle gave anything like sufficient of headroom, and without bays underneath the bus the wheelwells made a massive intrusion into the interor space.

It's possible other double-deck coaches would be more suitable for a motorhome conversion, but I suspect there would still be too many problems for it to be a really practical proposition.

What's with the skeleton?  ???  Being only 5' tall, I could do a sweet conversion on that shell!   ;D
