Do those generally have wood floors or was that added when it was converted to an RV?

Thanks for posting more pics and congrats on what looks like a good deal!

Looks good Bruiser. If you need parts or info for the bus portion of that rig, check with Bus Service Inc.
John there is a wealth of knowledge on all systems bus related.

Good luck with your new toy.

Way Cool Ride.... !


I could live in that when my wife throws me out each month.









Better than sleeping in the back yard under an old canopy. It's getting colder out there at night
