I can post a pic tomorrow since my seat is out of the bus and it would be easy to show!

JC, By saying it was automatic, I meant that my wife lowers it when she wants to, and it responds to voice recognition because I might sometimes remind her to do it.

No need to cover the stairs in the first place, it is just a pain in the rear.

Neither of my buses has covered stairs, both seats are set far enough back so there is no need for it. The view from a bus is so good that having the seat all the way forward only results in the co-pilot arriving at the scene of the accident at the same time as the driver!! It is also a lot hotter in hot weather the more forward you sit.

In fact, my wife prefers the more rearward seat in the 4104 to the 4107.

Never could figure out the logic for those "all the way forward" seats??

Here's a picture of a simple and easy foot rest mounted under the seat on drawer slides. Keep in mind, I still have to switch out the green carpet to my new carpet choice!

Ace,

I like that, simplicity itself!!

The complexity of some things guys install in buses continue to amaze me!!

Found the pics - from http://ourbusconversion.blogspot.com/

Huge amount of work gone into this, as has the whole bus. The builder is "Steve" - hope he won't mind me posting his pics:

That is awesome. Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks for the pic Ace. One question, do the drawer slides support enough weight that the co-pilot can step on it and then to the driver landing? Anyone else have any pics?

Please.

Simply put, yes! Susan doesn't really have to stand on it as in stand up. What she does is first is slide it in, turns slightly towards the driver, (me) and stands up on what we call the landing! The platform is pretty sturdy and can handle quite a bit of weight! Now that I think about it, I better quit with what I think it can hold! It IS for the passenger, not the driver, if you get my drift!
