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         

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.
