If Richard with his 1974 Custom Coach if having problems figuring out the wiring, I would hate to see someone figure out anything on that bus.  My RTS is a 2002 conversion, but I made everything simple to figure out.  I wouldn't trade even for that whorehouse.

with the 2 couch's that I have had with slides when they are in the space for the isle was at the smallest point was 28 " but I have seen lots of multi slide units that you could not get off the bed other then the end of the bed because the slide was right against the bed when in

The wide slides when they are on opposite sides of each other have very little room that why you see mostly 18in wide slides on each side ,we been looking at a BlueBird with 4 slides a cat couldn't walk down the aisle when the are slides in

I remember seeing a company a while ago that manufactured a slide mechanism where the end walls of the slide folded-in to give more space when the slides were retracted. More complexity and more seals to leak, but it seems like a good idea in principle.

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

You don't figure it out. You take it to the shop and just write checks. Same old saying goes here - "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"

Big show off bus. Customers at Marathon would brag how much their repair bills were as a contest to see who had the highest.
I like Geoff have a very simple electrical system. As consequence, since my bus was "finished" in 2000, I've had zero electrical problems-save one-a circuit breaker went bad. Just went to the nearest HD for a new one. Where do you suppose you'd go to have that electrical system worked on in that bus? Yeah right! Good Luck, TomC

Is that good or bad?
You don't have to believe everything you think.

I think that RV proves the old adage about money and good taste being mutually exclusive.

Truly horrid.   Yuk.

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

Agree Clifford. This one is really toned down from some of the doosies they build that had the bordello box checked on the order form. Honestly, if someone said here is one of those free, I'd really have to sit down and figure how much labor and materials it'd take to tone it down to something that works for us.
