Have not yet discussed price, trying to determine if the bus is in good shape. Been trying to gather info on Andy's bus to see if that is the best direction to go.

Plan on contacting Gary tomorrow with a few questions. If everything goes well I may be asking if anyone lives in the area to maybe go by and do a closer inspection before we plan a trip out to take a look.

Hi Dennis, its north of Sacramento, he took an add out on craigslist, then went on vacation. The 3 cruise air ACs, havent functioned for awile, he used window ACs to cool the bus. Hasnt driven it in awhile, has a s&s, now. The brother in law and sister, he bought it from, built it from ground up at Garys B&B when it was in LA. All teakwood interior, beautiful conversion. As Clifford said Gary has all the construction plan at his office in LV, I was impressed with Garys build, but not this guy, I offered $15/16K cash, I think the other guy was around that, less knowing about the suspension issues, lvmci...
