Is Mexico the only place in the world where FOUR-AXLE buses were made? These were manufactured in Monterrey, Mexico by the Sultana company. They came with a big-cam (non-turbo) Cummins and a 13-speed Road Ranger tranny. And they weighed more than an unloved mother-in-law! ;D I rode them many times. They ran Mexico City to Reynosa and Mexico City to Acapulco, among other destinations.
Now imagine pulling into one of those anti-bus RV parks with one of these...
Yikes! Hope I am not breaking a rule here! Here is a YouTube video of these 4-axle buses and other models made by the now-defunct Sultana Company. You will notice a small window on one of the luggage compartments. The Reynosa trip took up to 20 hours, and had two drivers. This compartment was a sleeper!

Dr. Steve, central old Mexico
Dr. Steve,
No Mexico is not the only place in the world with them!
There are MANY of them in Europe! (modern too!)
;D BK ;D
Plenty in Japan and Australia too.
Here's a Sultana-based motohome:
