This is slightly off topic because it's a semi and not a bus conversion, but I think everyone here will like this video, so here goes:

Pretty cool!
And yes those Amish are purty darn good at get'n someone to help anyone doing business with them!

Last winter Dad took a group of them from KY to PA in the winter for a wedding and as they turned off onto a "farm lane" where they we dropping off some of them the bus got hung with the drives floating in air.

Next thing dad knows an old "B" model Mack Tow truck shows up, the driver gets out and looks at it and says hang on.
Turns the truck around asks dad where a safe place to hook a chain is. Dad showed him they hooked the chain the guy got in the wrecker pulled dad 18" got out unhooked the chain threw it on the wrecker, waved at dad and took off before dad could get to the back of the bus to ask what he owed!

I'll bring this up to bus related by sharing this...one of my Gideon brothers was on a bus tour this summer up in the Amish country of PA...in fact less than a mile from where the murders in the school took place.
One of the sons of an Amish friend was sick and could not work the fields.  My friend told them he could not stand by and let them have all the fun of baling hay and throwing it on the trailer and insisted on helping.  Told the bus driver to take everyone else to the motel...he would stay and help them bale hay.  They did not want him to help...he insisted more and they relented.
He said it was cool watching the four Belgian work horses pull the big baler.  Afterwards they invited him for supper.  Told him if they had clothes to fit him they would give him some.  Now my friend aint big...about Jack Conrad's size...the Amish were much smaller! 
Then told him next time up he better not get a motel!
