Well, guys, I pulled the trigger on a crusader 2. The bus was only twenty miles away no rust engine runs great, needs some clutch work but everything is straight and clean. "As clean as a seated coach can be"

yea Sam Caylor told me his granddaughter could remove it i 1 hr so I drive 200 miles to KS,a day later and 700 bucks it was out

Yea, it doesn't look like any fun. From the looks of it doubt that it will come out in one piece.

Once you have one under your belt and see how they are installed, they really aren't all that bad to remove. I used a grinder to knock the rivets off of the poop shoot and took the whole stall out the window in one piece. Loosed the 2 straps around the tank and the rest was history.

hi Steve, I think they are a pain to remove, lucky if you find a bus without bathroom, I kept the 1/2 opaque window and the tiny toilet vent window, good vent and can open the light in but no one can see thru, lvmci...

I'd post some pictures if I can figure out how. Anyway , got all the seats out and working towards the dreaded restroom. Removed the overhead luggage on one side and that was enough for one day.

Yep. Our restroom removal on our 9 was horrible. Have fun. Wear gloves. And hack away at it. It's a rite of passage

Dave, did you wear your Berka, when you removed the toilet?

The fiberglass cover hides the bolts on the tank if I remember right.
