If Richard with his 1974 Custom Coach if having problems figuring out the wiring, I would hate to see someone figure out anything on that bus. My RTS is a 2002 conversion, but I made everything simple to figure out. I wouldn't trade even for that whorehouse.
I just wish someone with slides would show the inside with the slides run in.
with the 2 couch's that I have had with slides when they are in the space for the isle was at the smallest point was 28 " but I have seen lots of multi slide units that you could not get off the bed other then the end of the bed because the slide was right against the bed when in
dave
The wide slides when they are on opposite sides of each other have very little room that why you see mostly 18in wide slides on each side ,we been looking at a BlueBird with 4 slides a cat couldn't walk down the aisle when the are slides in
I remember seeing a company a while ago that manufactured a slide mechanism where the end walls of the slide folded-in to give more space when the slides were retracted. More complexity and more seals to leak, but it seems like a good idea in principle.

You don't figure it out. You take it to the shop and just write checks. Same old saying goes here - "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"

doesn't change the opinion that it still looks like a brothel on wheels :)
Big show off bus. Customers at Marathon would brag how much their repair bills were as a contest to see who had the highest.
I like Geoff have a very simple electrical system. As consequence, since my bus was "finished" in 2000, I've had zero electrical problems-save one-a circuit breaker went bad. Just went to the nearest HD for a new one. Where do you suppose you'd go to have that electrical system worked on in that bus? Yeah right! Good Luck, TomC

Is that good or bad?
I think that RV proves the old adage about money and good taste being mutually exclusive.
Truly horrid. Yuk.

i think Geoff made that clear :)
Actually the wiring is pretty simple on those high end coaches to trouble shoot they are well laid out with fuses and breakers,that is a high dollar coach on a H chassis with slides.
I don't care for the laminates the converters are using today lol my wife calls it IKEA cabinets she likes wood and stone.I noticed the sofa it kinda looks like a regular RV couch you don't see that often in those
Agree Clifford. This one is really toned down from some of the doosies they build that had the bordello box checked on the order form. Honestly, if someone said here is one of those free, I'd really have to sit down and figure how much labor and materials it'd take to tone it down to something that works for us.

I don't know if the wiring is simple I saw a TV show about building high end coach motorhomes and they used what looked like miles of wiring looms. That with several master control centers and smaller control be centers with electronics galore. Way too much to try to figure out or worse pay someone to figure out.
The wiring is all on modules one goes bad you plug another one in ,the Crestron system to control all the features can be a little touchy but most of that can be done over the internet lol for a fee with a lap top ;D.Now 20 years down the road when all the electronics are obsolete you may have a problem.
Wish I could post a photo of the center I have one from Country Coach 2ft tall x 4 ft wide x 10 inches thick nothing but boards,relays and fuses those systems really don't give you much of problem.
The Crestron system won't allow for changes unless you re program one not even adding a TV that I don't like the geeks get you for $125.00 per hour just setting on their @$# watching one boot up and load for hours ::) all in all the system is reliable and it's neat to be able to control everything in the bus setting in a recliner using a touch pad :D
You're not winning me over, Cliff. If I win a huge lottery I'll buy a new bus conversion every two years with a spare to drive when the first one breaks down. And that isn't going to happen, since I don't play the lottery anymore.

Those conversions are not for everyone Geoff that is why a outfit in Texas does a basic new Prevost conversion that some of us like I forgot the name but it was Outlaw before it was sold, they sent me a sales ad theirs was $900,000 not $2.5 million

Was it the same Outlaw company that makes toy haulers and Ford-based RVs now? A brand-new Outlaw is now parked next to me in the storage yard - I'm not too impressed by it, but I'm not impressed by 99% of typical generic plastic RVs anyway.

Wrong Outlaw John those are low end made by Thor, www.outlawconversions.com (http://www.outlawconversions.com) they only do trailers now,the Prevost conversion division was sold to Emerald
