Title: Converter needed!
Post by: Busted Knuckle on March 27, 2008, 09:52:29 PM
I have a new customer who is storing a couple buses at our shop, and having us keep them maintined for him. Right now he is running early to mid '90's  Prevost's, but he has made arrangements to purchase a couple of MCI Renaissance's and asked me if I knew of a converter I could reccomend to convert them for him. He'd prefer someone in central FL, but is open to options. They use the coaches to transfer medical patients long distances, and are pretty much set up like the typical family conversion. Ya know bed room in the back, bath in the middle, kitchenette and lounge area in the front. They usually have the driver, patient, family member or 2 and a nurse on board. The '93 Prevost I have at the shop was converted by Country Coach in '99, and is a pretty sharp. By the way once the Renaissances are done he'll be putting the Prevosts on the market. Any body interested or suggestions?   ???  BK  ???

Bryce,
We have a guy up here in the Minneapolis/St Paul area named Matt Dickenson who apparently has done quite a bit of conversion work; even some medical specialty vehicles. He's been in the business and his brother, JD runs a very reputable bus shop here as well: C&J Bus Repair.

Anyway, I mentioned your inquiry to Matt and he said he is very interested in talking with you. I know geographically this is not where you were asking; but it sounds like his skill set is a match. And he has a beautiful new facility - was an RV dealer now defunct.

You can email him at vistamobiletech@msn.com - Matt Dickenson his phone number is 763-227-1894 cell
