Bus versus s/s

[gus]

Besides being poorly constructed and affordable SS has such a long rear overhang that it is downright hazardous to drive. "Swing out" collisions with gas pumps, trees, other RVs and posts is the number two accident with them.

IMO, you can't beat the classic looks of a real bus.

Especially this one:

RJ
I have to agree with you on the look of the 4106. only wish my 4106 looked like it used to LOL

You have a lot of work to do Kevin to make your 4106 look like the 4501 RJ posted 

I always get a laugh when it comes up Bus vs RV this is a bus board what other answer would 1 get here lol 

I have a S/S job to go along with a few buses I own all metal siding, aluminum studded walls ,102 wide, teak wood cabinets, no bedroom has the overhead magic bed 12 mpg towing 14 to 16 not towing and never gets hot on a hill  called a Safari Trek we love the little guy 

good luck

S/S always have the selling point on paper, but can't compare to a nice conversion on usage.

I have always had a nice bus conversion Geoff still do but I do like this Trek cost nothing for up keep I just replaced all 6 tires because of age not because of wear and had the oil changed ,new fuel filter and air cleaner at Costco 1384 dollars out the door and fuel is not a problem we use it every week end or for weeks at a time it drives nice, rides nice what more could one ask for 

We went to Prescott Valley from Phoenix today no misters (don't even have those) dash air blowing nice cold air no generator running trying to stay cool  lol

good luck

Nobody needs misters from Prescott Valley to Phoenix, just from Phoenix to Prescott Valley (5,000 ft climb).  Did you get to go to the World's Oldest Rodeo in Prescott?  We went Saturday, it was fun.  Call and visit sometime

I did not mean this as a bash on s/s, It was more of an observation on my part and what I thought would work for me in the long run. Any of the above would be good for short term stays but we will be staying about six months at a time,Home in the summer,some where warm in the winter.It was just that size and quality where an issue with me.I am one that hits the road and usually dos,nt stop till I,m there,so ride and things bothering me make that harder.Yes the Trek looks like a good week or weekender,Dos,nt look like something I would want to spend months in.The quality of mine will be what I put in it, not what someone thinks is good enough.I have been renting from friends and rental facilities to see what i can live with till The MCI is done.Witch by the way may be sold witch will allow me to up grade a little newer,still has to have stainless though.

I have lived in my 40' 102" RTS for weeks at time and have found it to be spacious, even without slide-outs.  And when I want to change locations it is a pure pleasure to drive.  It's all in the planning and the layout, and I have a lot of thanks to give to some (not all!) of the well-thought ideas I got from this board in the last 12 years.
